They already patched up the books and provided v2 for download on DriveThruRPG, and that's the copy going to the printers, so I can only assume that black powder deals nonmagical force damage and that's intentional. To me, this thing makes sense. Force damage is basically just a wave of raw...

Let’s keep our fingers crossed that A5e grows enough to guarantee an eventual MM2!

The warlock is one of the most flexible and versatile classes in Advanced 5th Edition, and, arguably, no warlock feature epitomizes this flexibility quite as much as the Pact of the Chain. This exploration will review the Find Familiar spell, how the Pact of the Chain warlock takes that spell...

The best place to begin with a lot of homebrew is to look at what's been done and ask if it'll work for your creation, then go from there. (This is not advocation that homebrew should never do anything new or revolutionary—much of the best, best homebrew does radically different things than...

True, but I try to look for more than “passable” when pursuing concepts that interest me.

I would kill for a spores/fungus-themed druid archetype that is an actual druid necromancer (including having animate dead and the like on its spell list), with the spells tweaked so that the undead created were all plant type or something. It's an easy enough thing to homebrew, but I'd be...

Thanks!

The online SRD automatically logged me out and I can't find a login on that page. Is it hidden, or am I going to have to dig around in my inbox for the original login link?

With how incredibly unique many A5e classes manage to be, despite running in comparable roles, I’ll always want to see more archetypes and classes. The artificer is a good recent example - a spell caster, but it feels so unique from the common crowd, and we already have pretty good variety in...

Must be user error, then - a week or so ago I tried looking up a spell from the AG and didn’t see it in there. Most likely I spelled something wrong.

It isn't helped by the fact that, for spells that require a spell focus, you need to hold an additional bulky item, being tools of some sort.

A warlock for every occasion! But seriously—warlock enthusiasts look at the warlock and ask themselves, "How can we make the warlock able to specialize into any role—but make it different, special, taste like warlock?" And so, in a continuation of this quest, I present to you: the Unnaturalist...

I haven't seen anyone else mention this—here's my big concern with Artificer. By my reading, you use your magical inventions to cast spells, and you must hold your magical invention to cast a spell. Wouldn't this create an issue with drawing and stowing items when trying to cast different spells...

Similar response. I am also, particularly, a fan of classes with built-in minions, so the Stitcher immediately grabbed my attention as the—off the top of my head—only archetype (beyond the ranger's Beastmaster) with a minion, and I definitely like this better than the Beastmaster because...

How so? reads through everything except Extra Blast *reads Extra Blast, p273: When you use Eldritch Ray, Eldritch Scythe, or Eldritch Whip as part of your action on your turn, as long as you make no weapon attacks you can attack twice instead of once" RIP, ultimate GlassCannonLock Off the top...

A5e Bladelock is better than ever thanks to Eldritch Scythe and its synergy with Pact of the Blade and Thirsting Blade. Plus, A5e warlock uses spell points instead of spell slots, making the class more flexible than ever as week. I think it’s a really strong candidate for best pick for anyone...

I like the idea behind your variant rules and I already toy with this idea when I DM, essentially using 1b + 2b. I mostly run it this way because the second attack for martial classes is so critical to just make them feel playable as levels progress. That said, multiclassing is intended to come...

Why can I not download this? I keep clicking the link... You don't click on the link in the chat, you click on the orange "download" button in the top right. Just throwing that out there for anyone as blind as me (or as distrusting of brightly-colored buttons on the internet that innocently...

That’s what it looks like… but they also get spell levels significantly slower than warlock, so I’m guessing that they won’t be directly analogous.

LOVE this.
