    Level Up (A5E) State of the Archetypes - Feb 1, 2023

    Not quite true: it has several features from the archetype listed, but not enough information to actually play the archetype. Unless I’m missing something obvious.

    I’m happy to publish a graph of 3PP content as well as official + 3PP if someone can provide me with the stats

    Level Up (A5E) State of the Archetypes - Feb 1, 2023

    I’ve done that in the past, but it’s a tad more difficult to keep up with, partially because I’d have to keep an eye on a lot more, and partially because I’d have to pay for a lot more in order to keep an eye on it, and I only have so much discretionary income.

    Level Up (A5E) Belt of Hill Giant Strength

    All of the belts have the same STR value as the A5e giant they’re named after. Ergo, if the A5e Hill Giant has a STR value of 20, so will its belt.

    Level Up (A5E) Belt of Hill Giant Strength

    Well, it does match the STR value of the Hill Giant in the Monstrous Menagerie

    Level Up (A5E) Belt of Hill Giant Strength

    It’s probably arbitrary, and you could change it for your table without a significant difference in the item’s power.

    Level Up (A5E) Community Design Project Proposal: Free Generic Elemental Spells

    I very much like this, although creating rules to apply it generally across the board might be a separate project. However, creating specific spells to have ongoing, perilous effects does sound like a feasible goal for the immediate project, as does creating spells that have some counterplay...

    Level Up (A5E) Community Design Project Proposal: Free Generic Elemental Spells

    My knowledge of earlier editions is largely limited to their names, so I’m glad to have this passed down. I have to imagine that the project would receive additional charm if old favorites were reintroduced into the game. :)

    Level Up (A5E) Community Design Project Proposal: Free Generic Elemental Spells

    Easy. Acid splash can hit multiple targets, making it 2d6 in the right circumstances. Fire bolt can be shot from 120 feet away, so it needs to do less damage than shocking grasp, which requires you to be in touch range.

    Level Up (A5E) Community Design Project Proposal: Free Generic Elemental Spells

    I mean, I’m not picky. We can also use the Kibbles spells from the linked source above.

    Level Up (A5E) Community Design Project Proposal: Free Generic Elemental Spells

    It’s a proposal to them as much as us. And possibly! I don’t see a reason why we couldn’t at least have a credits page. I love status effects, and I want many of these damage spells to include status effects, but you can’t win a fight with status effects alone. Someone, somewhere, will want to...

    Level Up (A5E) Community Design Project Proposal: Free Generic Elemental Spells

    One unfortunate thing that A5e has inherited from O5e is a general dearth of generic, elemental spells. Although you can certainly port over some of the old O5e spells and other 3PP content for your personal game, there are certain design possibilities that are noticeably harder to pull off both...

    Voidrunner Looking ahead to the VRC: what expansions do you want to see?

    Honestly, the main thing I would love to see is some kind of spin off or expansion on the GPG to address more sci-fi material and options. We’ll have to see how much the VRC gives us, but the play test blog posts for the VRC did mention “several” new classes, which makes me wonder if the Psion...

    Voidrunner Looking ahead to the VRC: what expansions do you want to see?

    I’m in interested in that too, but not in this conversation. Right now I’m thinking about what it means for a druid to be extraterrestrial or a berserker to make use of body-altering nanobots. :)

    Voidrunner Looking ahead to the VRC: what expansions do you want to see?

    To be clear, I have no say over anything in the VRC, and know nothing more about it than is already public knowledge. However, I do love brainstorming, and I’m looking forward to seeing how our favorite classes might be reimagined in a sci-fi setting.

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    @Steampunkette So pumped to have your work in my hands (metaphorically at least. I backed the PDF) today! Question: how do you see the Esper fitting into the a5e ecosystem once the VRC Psion is released?

    Level Up (A5E) State of the Archetypes - Feb 1, 2023

    I had a couple of thoughts on that point. My two biggest ideas are a garment-centric artificer and a cook. The idea of a dungeon architect was also floated.
