No, incorrect assumption. My rule was if you used a5e, you used a5e; if you used o5e, you used o5e.

I have run 2 campaigns with blended parties and it works fine. For my next campaigns we are about to start though, it will be all a5e. The players saw the customizing capable in a5e and want it. All of them just didn't want to switch mid-campaign. I will say things like expertise die and skill...

Really, what I find that a5e does the best is that it gives other pillars of the game fair time in the spotlight. So you will have to remake some of those classes to fix that. However, a lot of 3rd party classes already do that better than the base WotC classes anyway, so then what you have to...

you'll have to go case by case and maybe make changes as you see fit. the best way to start may be to look at exploration knacks from all the a5e classes and see what fits the theme of whatever 3rd party class you're looking at (bloodhunter plays nicely with warlock [Secrets of Arcana] and...

I do love that. hmm, if you want to keep the alliteration and maybe include things like herblore rather than just the surgical arts while more emphasizing the helpful aspect, may I suggest Altruistic Assailant or something along those lines? Just spitballing though.

Is surgeon's strike more assist/healing or straight-up offense? if the former, it may convey the wrong meaning. if the later, perfect. (if this is for the combat medic one you said you had ideas for, if not, ignore me) Showman's Shot - no notes

I like what you've got going on here. (I don't know how I feel about the Sentinel class, but I will reserve judgement until I see). Also, do the elemental bending maneuvers vibe like the new elementalist class or is it exclusionary (i'm thinking of multiclass stuff in the future). I also have...

I hit you up on discord. It's my preference

i have a google sheet of nearly all of these with brief summaries I'd share with you if you'd like

No experience running CoS, but plenty of experience running 5e and a5e in published campaigns. Anything 5e can do, a5e does better. It really is that simple. There is basically no headache when using a5e for 5e products. The only thing I recommend is that you don't use WotC monsters: use either...

Gate Pass Gazette usually has NPCs, Monsters, and Exploration Challenges

Homebrew and Hacking's new book will have a sports subsystem and other Narrator stuff (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/homebrewandhacking/worlds-to-go-the-elysians?ref=profile_created). They also put out that adventure Dragons vs Biplanes. Purple Martin Games put out the fantastic...

whoops, my brain glitched and it swapped investigation (different "I" word)

what I've never understood is Insight under Intelligence and not Wisdom. Academic book-learning rarely helps with reading people. Move that to Wis and Medicine to Int. Done and Done

field and folk medicine I can buy for Wisdom (or at least I understand why people writing in fantasy settings would think that).

I've allowed it for unclasping armor, stealing potions, tricking enemy magic users into thinking a different spell was being cast by faking the Seen component, fouling up an enemy quiver, attaching things to enemies (bomb in pants sure, but also tracking beacons and such), and switching...

pdf releasing earlier or are you planning to release print and digital together?

PMG has a good index in Spells from the Forgotten Vault that could slot in this work pretty well in a future update, but since that is not a living document it still wouldn't really solve the problem. Roleplaymaker.com by the folks a Nexus Game Theory is probably the best current solution

I would argue that an Awakened Tree is sentient, but to-may-toe/to-maa-toe. My players best ally is an Awakened Tree: his name is Steve and he is very stabby

Light and Sustenance are good ideas. I am compiling my spell lists and I keep running into wanting those. There are a LOT of spells that shed light incidentally (at least in my mind) that might need to be parsed
