    Level Up (A5E) So where do ya'll plan to start with LU?

    Well, time to release a supplement of Avatars of Bahamut and Tiamat, the Final Fantasy VIII Guardian Force and hidden boss :3c

    Official News So, what’s ZEITGEIST?

    Love Zeitgeist :D Gears of Revolution was the AP that was initially for 4e if I'm not mistaken, yeah?

    Level Up (A5E) Stretch Goals and Hardcover manuals

    Damn, was attempting to use heavy use of hypothetical qualifiers to avoid that answer xD

    Level Up (A5E) Stretch Goals and Hardcover manuals

    Excited :D that was the big one I was gonna be really disappointed if it didn't get reached. On that note, I have a question about the remaining goals. I do hope we hit them, obviously, but since it sounds like the team would like to continue making stuff, with no assumption or implication...

    Official News A Question of Culture & Destiny

    So much of Tasha's was either a glorified errata, since WotC refuses to do 'errata' they get to charge people for it apparently, as well as 'fixes' to problems that have all the effort of a distracted DM going "Uhhh...just do whatever then, I guess?" instead of an actually designed system. They...

    Level Up (A5E) Example Skill DCs

    Same, I really appreciate the DC 10 being things that actually have an aspect of difficulty to them, to the point of a roll actually seeming necessary. I hate DC 10s that are easy and just there for the sake of rolling dice and presenting a failure chance because dice.

    As an RvB fan, I can confirm their namesake never naughty word around either xD I'm also definitely curious to see Warpriest

    Ooh, curious, random number in the Feat pages or hoping to hit a specific one?

    Level Up (A5E) Level Up Class Preview: Adept

    I was mocking WotC for setting game design back 15 years by refusing to acknowledge a lot of the great design decisions 4e made because Mearls hated it. And that's true! It's pretty popular in more actual Rules-Lite systems iirc? It's a good system. I still wish d20 crunch based systems would...

    Level Up (A5E) A Level Up Cosmology

    It's the best usage of o5e content I can think of xD Also, if the Cosmology is left largely adaptable, is the Pantheon similar? Or is there a distinct and developed set of gods?

    Level Up (A5E) Level Up Class Preview: Adept

    I was recently looking at the Critical Role characters' stats and how their much higher than RAW values leads to much more interesting (and viable!) characters. A lot of what determines tiers of characters in 5e is SAD vs MAD. A Wizard only really needs INT, so they just need one good score. A...

    Oh wait D: the numbers are off, the ToC said 188 was the Soldiering Knacks ;_;

    Level Up (A5E) Level Up Class Preview: Adept

    3.5 Monks were already a mess of cobbled together features based on flavor with no underlying mechanical throughline, and like all Martials getting brought to 5e they were hollowed out on top of that. 5e Designers continue to seem intent to give Monk Subclasses mainly cool things to do with Ki...

    Level Up (A5E) Level Up Class Preview: Adept

    Oh yeah, o5e Monks are an insult to the very concept of game design. Adept has some subtle changes that help a lot. Brutal Defense lets you dump Dex, so you can go full Strength and Con. Turning everything into choices means you can take nothing that forces a Save, meaning WIS can take a...

    188, Fighter had some REALLY good Knacks in the playtest that really just spoke to the designers getting the Class Fantasy and I want to see what made it in :D

    Official News Meet Cenya the Elf Bard

    Critical Evaluation is absolutely Brilliant, keying off the same facet of the Class Fantasy as Bardic Knowledge but in a more unique and active fashion. I love being able to get hard numbers on things. Harmonic Resonance is SUPER interesting and feels like a Bard Spell in a more meaningful way...

    Official News Level Up Class Preview: Ranger

    Traditionally perhaps, but it's kind of an old 'Excuse for all of them to be evil' mindset that is thankfully on its way out the door. Super excited to see them playable in the Zeitgeist book, so at least in that setting looks like there'll be more depth to them.

    The intertwining of Dances in both directions makes it look more complicated than it really is, it's actually pretty straightforward.
