I haven't played or DM'd with any a5e bard yet, so I'm curious to understand what all these difficulties are. On paper I don't see any issue, as you can change your art specialty every short or long rest from level 1, as a bonus action from level 5, and at level 7 you can have the benefits of a...

A5E also has more interesting weapon properties, so the "feat tax" to have the additional attack as bonus action is no longer necessary if you use a weapon with the "defensive" trait. So you can have a sword and board berserker (historically plausible btw), that either gains +1 on AC, or can...

Class Groups date back to 2e (at least)

All in all, d&d's spellcasting system is the most outdated and the one that really needs to be radically changed IMO. Any change away from the current system is good, so having something I consider very minor as spells classified by extended "schools" is a good thing (albeit far from...

Personally I think LU is not a 3PP for 5e (an "add on"), but it's a fork from it that has its own identity which keeps on developing. Just look at the amazing variety and quality of products that are released for LU, and how much different ground they cover. We have full support for strongholds...

Ah, yes, that's a possibility and I agree it would qualify as overlapping (a "cheap" way to get more damage on the same area with the same casting of a spell)

Well, I don't think it's likely that two meteor swarms will ever be cast simultaneously on the same area. Worst case two will be cast back to back from different characters, but they're not happening at the same time (which is different from two spirit guardians), so damage should stack in that...

I'm not sure skills count as "class features", because they could come from backgrounds as well. But I see your point

Well, in principle you could always be trained, although RAW it only applies to languages, tools and weapons, not skills. I'd house rule it so that any proficiency could be learned (maybe except for saves).

I really like the idea, but designing a system around this seems complex. IMO a possible implementation might involve using reactions on someone else's action (either the fighter shooting the arrow as a reaction to the firebolt, or the other way around), more than delaying the action itself...

BTW: I'm a bit confused about the cleave property. Basically you automatically deal the weapon damage to another creature as long as you wouldn't have had disadvantage attacking it. But what I don't understand is if the creature automatically damages you and at which conditions

Ok, if the focus is versatility at a cost I think bypassing some resistances or immunities, or swapping damage type with something elemental would still be reasonable IMO and not necessarily an increase in raw power. Otherwise, another thing that could be done is locating objects/creatures by...

Sure! So, the good : - that there are more weapon properties and they are "unlocked" as you level up. I'd liked if some properties were available also to non-martials (which do not have exertion), but it also makes sense. Overall they seem a good way to spend some exertion, and they don't seem...

Very interesting stuff! I'll give it a good read!

Oooh Minotaur and clockfolk! There's new shiny things for WOIN!! Edit: actually the clockwork was just moved to OLD from NEW

Awesome!! Is there a changelog or something similar?

Apparently there are no strings attached, so any spell or condition could be removed. Given it's a level 14 class skill, I don't thin it's OP, especially because there are spells that could have similar results, and IIRC it should be possible for a level 14 PC to cast those spells (if they are...

One clarification that could help: with brake the vehicle moves half speed forward and then loses momentum with stop the vehicle stops immediately, but you cannot use it if the vehicle has momentum So if the vehicle you're driving doesn't have momentum there's little reason to use brake...

I noticed that with the various GPGs and 3PP products we have an incredible list of archetypes (probably many more I'd ever need), some of which have new mechanics (combat maneuvers) that employ equipment in new ways. I'm wondering though if this is a design niche that hasn't been covered yet...

Nice catch! The wand of lightning bolts costs 5k, requires attunement, and gives 7 charges per day, for 715gp per 3rd level slot The pearls of power cost 300gp each and gives 1 spell slot up to 3rd, require no attunement and recharge daily. The main difference is that pearls of power require an...
