    Gate Pass Gazette Playtest the ARTIFICER (Kickstarter backers only)

    Could someone explain why they think this? The O5E artificer has the following total number of spells prepared assuming point buy and maxing int ASAP: Level O5E A5E 3 6 4 5 10 7 10 16 10 14 20 13 Sure there is a difference but the gulf is not so wide that it seems problematic and...

    Gate Pass Gazette What content do y'all want from Gate Pass Gazette?

    I'd like to see things we don't get from other sources. I'd be good with more of the things new to A5E or completely new systems and areas that can be bolted on. More heritages and cultures since that system is unique here though we may get enough in the zeitgeist book to keep me happy for a...

    Level Up (A5E) Looking for advice on mixing

    That's exactly what its for. The sidebar states: The intention of this is to cover O5E subclasses that grant spells so if you pick up the A5E ranger and gloom stalker subclass, you can cast rope trick and disguise self once per day even though you don't have spell slots.

    Level Up (A5E) Crafting and Enchanting Items

    Yes, that part seems pretty clear to me. Whatever the base cost of the item presented in Trials and Treasures (or whatever base cost the narrator deems appropriate), you take 1/3 that cost to move it from one magical item to a mundane item. As long as the enchantment can be applied to the new...

    Level Up (A5E) Crafting and Enchanting Items

    Both Galandris and I came to the same formula (though they stated it a little more clearly than I did) and I think that reading is ultimately supported by this paragraph on 350: I'm really not sure what the first paragraph of that sidebar on page 349 is doing.

    Level Up (A5E) Crafting and Enchanting Items

    I guess the way I read this (and I agree that it's a pretty unclear) is that it's an additional 10% of the cost of the item plus you have to bring them the item you want enchanted. The 10% is the fee for "here's how I want you to do the work and I want it now" plus they aren't going to give you...

    Level Up (A5E) Question on bard's Art Specialty

    So how which of these options is active has been cleared up by the updates to the adventurers guide (after short or long rest you can switch) but I'm still confused about which of these options can be taken. Is proficiency in an instrument of the category a prerequisite to being able to pick...

    What a lucky guy you get to do all that solo ;)

    Level Up (A5E) Looking for advice on mixing

    I think I will encourage looking at the A5E subclasses to fill the players goal first to avoid this, but if they can't find something I'll definitely open it up to the list I had previously allowed for subclass. That's a mix of official things that are allowed, official things that are banned...

    Level Up (A5E) A5E.tools down?

    Is the A5E.tools site down? I just get a spinning loading wheel when I try.

    Level Up (A5E) Is there a way to submit content for Gate Pass Gazette?

    I'd imagine they'll be able to do a big push when issue #1 comes out. I would guess some number of people are waiting to see the quality there before committing to a more frequent cycle. (At least I had that thought myself.)

    Level Up (A5E) Clarifications on Strongholds and Followers

    The 5x5 square really only applies to the area a medium creature can cover in combat. A person certainly does not actually take up 25sq ft. Sitting here at a table I think I maybe take up 4sq ft. My extended family of 7 can eat dinner around this table (3ftx4ft ish) in this small kitchen+dining...

    Level Up (A5E) Heightened Reflexes and spellcasting

    That's how I will rule it in my games as well but I wouldn't assume every DM will include subclasses from O5E. Good finds. Fear looks like its the only one that has a larger range and burning hands looks like it deals the most damage. Fear could be pretty effective depending on the save DC...

    Level Up (A5E) Heightened Reflexes and spellcasting

    Agreed- that was mostly tongue in cheek as the trade off is notable but the + to hit is not extremely significant. Given you need to take archery fighting style to get the feats as well, you'd have +9 to hit at 12 and +10 to hit at 13. Certainly enough to be effective. I missed Eldritch Knight...

    Level Up (A5E) Heightened Reflexes and spellcasting

    Oh, see they didn't remove action surge. :) Very nice find. it's worth noting that this requires the third of the chain of feats and you have to take them with every ASI to have the option of getting this at level 12. The first has a prerequisite of fighter 3 wizard 3 so you get the first at...

    Level Up (A5E) Heightened Reflexes and spellcasting

    It does indeed: However, multiple castings of the same spell don’t combine. When two versions of the same spells overlap, the most powerful effect applies. For instance, if a creature begins its turn in the area of two cloudkill spells, one cast at 5th-level and one cast at 6th-level, it only...

    Level Up (A5E) Heightened Reflexes and spellcasting

    Multiple casts of the same spell would not be an issue (a la shield) because of the below. COMBINING MAGICAL EFFECTS (PHB pg 205) The effects of different spells add together while the durations of those spells overlap. The effects of the same spell cast multiple times don’t combine, however...

    Level Up (A5E) A question about Eldritch Evolution

    You wouldn't have to wait till level 12 to get one. You learn invocations outside Eldritch Evolution. I wouldn't expect any prerequisites to be overridden by the ability unless it explicitly said so

    ZEITGEIST Adventures in ZEITGEIST: Preview Thread

    That feat is really solid as a recreation of the crossbow expert while also feeling very thematically distinct. Kudos to whomever did the design work on it.
