    Level Up (A5E) Finding the Elusive Swordmage

    Awesome, I absolutely love the idea of having multiclass feats for every possible combination of classes! The Tome of Character Options would be an insta-buy or insta-pledge for me! Good to know too. If there's little overlap each book will have its own merits.

    Level Up (A5E) Finding the Elusive Swordmage

    Great! Also, is something similar on the horizon for the Thematic Toolkits?

    Level Up (A5E) Finding the Elusive Swordmage

    Hey @timespike , I remember time ago you mentioned creating a collection with all issues of MOARs (IIRC after all 5 were released). Have you released it?

    Level Up (A5E) Do material spell components always require a free hand in A5E?

    The letter says that if you're holding a spell focus you can perform seen components. It doesn't mention material components in general. Since a spell focus only replaces mundane components (without a gp price), you may not cast spells with an expensive material component this way. In this sense...

    Level Up (A5E) Do material spell components always require a free hand in A5E?

    Both of these descriptions seem to support my decision: if you can perform seen components, you can use material components as well.

    Level Up (A5E) Do material spell components always require a free hand in A5E?

    Thanks for the summary, it shows there's contradicting stuff like being able to cast V,S,M but not V,S. For me, I'll replace M with S and call it a day.

    Level Up (A5E) Leading Throw + Redirect Combo

    There's just so much to love... Leading Throw can mean a monster gets thrown off a cliff, in a pit, in a hazardous terrain, in a spell's area, etc, without further saves. This also means that a monster can try to desperately leave a hazardous terrain only to be thrown back in during its own...

    Level Up (A5E) Redirect Maneuver - Can you make the attacker target itself?

    If this is what you're aiming for, I'd totally allow it

    Level Up (A5E) A Fix(?) For Rural Stronghold Pricing

    Time ago I made a quite in depth comparison between the different strongholds. While it's true that often rural strongholds are more expensive than the equivalent building strongholds, the fact is that often you can get them for a lower quality, meaning that they can become significantly...

    Glad to help! :)

    WOIN Starter Set Playtest Draft

    @Morrus I gave it a good read. Overall the draft is solid, although of course there are a few typos or stuff that may be clarified. If anything, the section that might need more work is the one related to monsters, where several entries refer to rules not present in this starter set. More...

    WOIN NOW: What to do with CHI gained from careers in a non-supernatural setting that doesn't use CHI?

    I think you basically have two options: either you turn CHI into some other attribute that may be useful to your campaign (attributes are also open ended in WOIN, you could have HONOR or something similar as described in some EONS article), or you could just replace the CHI increases from those...

    WOIN Simplifying WOIN's magic rules for a starter kit

    Even if it's just a draft, I think it captures a good portion of this awesome magic system while still being way less complex. It's probably a very good way to get players started and excited about building their own spells on the spot! I'll be curious to see how the next iterations evolve...

    WOIN Simplifying WOIN's magic rules for a starter kit

    I see some aspects are not just simplified but also different from Elements of Magic: the attribute MAGIC is replaced by POWER, the total MP pool is 5x POWER dice instead of 3x MAGIC dice, the max MP expenditure also considers skill dice (while in EOM it's only based on MAGIC iirc), and the...

    Level Up (A5E) How does A5e support high-level play?

    I think the challenging part is not the monsters, but the adventure/campaign design itself. At low/mid level the game can be quite straightforward, and a DM can limit itself to creating static dungeons and a few quests here and there. The tactical part of the game is mostly 2d exploration and...

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

    That, and probably also the fact that there's no "feature creep": some kickstarters have stretch goals that require more and more design, and that's a thing that can make a bit uncertain the delivery time. These stretch goals, like the ones typical of ENP, shouldn't alter significantly the...
