    Level Up (A5E) Quesrion about Journey Activities

    For pray, I would interpret it to gain an experience die for each day you spend. EG if you spend 3 days, on a success you would increase the expertise die for each day. 1d4>1d6>1d8. You wouldn't use it longer than it would take to max out your expertise dice (similar to how you maybe wouldn't...

    ZEITGEIST Adventures in ZEITGEIST: Preview Thread

    I'm very excited for this. I'm hoping I've got the content before I start running the adventure path sometime early next year. One of my players is pretty excited to play a gunslinger a la Jesper from Shadow and Bone and another is pumped for a steam punk artificer. Hopefully everything comes...

    Level Up (A5E) Building a gunslinger

    One of my players will be playing a gunslinger in an upcoming campaign and to help minimize anyone being overwhelmed with the new classes, I want to make sure I give them some good options. My initial thought is to go fighter, sharpshooter and recommend they pick from the combat maneuver...

    Level Up (A5E) Question: Battle Hymn's

    The Battle Hymn is activated at the start of the Bard's turn. The hit die can be spent at the start of the targeted creature's turn, as long as the bard maintains concentration till that creature's turn. From my reading: Yes, as long as the bard maintains concentration. if the bard drops...

    Level Up (A5E) Press the Attack/Fall Back update

    I'd agree. At my table, I would also allow any other action that included an attack even though that's not specified.

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

    Yeah I would assume if you don't have proficiency in any string instruments, for example, then you just can't use that one. That is a problem with voice and visual then in that every bard always (or never?) gets those since there's no additional proficiency required for "vocal performance".

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

    I can't tell from the text about how this feature is intended to be used. It does not state "pick one" anywhere so is it that the player can decide which option is best every time they cast a spell if the have that instrument? What's to stop them carrying around the three physical instruments...

    Level Up (A5E) Press the Attack/Fall Back update

    @Legendweaver, are you going to run your combat scenarios again with these? If so if be curious when this action comes up given the relative power reduction of a d4 vs advantage.

    Page 438: "You can declare your intent for your turn in any order, breaking up your movement between actions or using your bonus action first. You can also choose to do abso- lutely nothing. Within a single round, you can take an action, a bonus action, and any free actions during your turn, and...

    Level Up (A5E) Playtest results using pregen characters

    I guess rereading it, that's not how it works. "Whenever a creature within your reach takes the Press the Attack action, you can use your reaction to yield ground." They can only fall back if PtA was taken when within their reach. So if the attacker takes PtA out of their reach, moves into...

    Level Up (A5E) Playtest results using pregen characters

    Yeah that seems like a very important conversation. Don't just Fall Back because someone PtA. Again, I'm theory crafting but it seems like PtA needs consideration whether to use and the potential reaction of Fall Back isn't automatic either. Again, all that in theory sounds great. I'm very eager...

    Level Up (A5E) Playtest results using pregen characters

    Agreed on the final wording that may clear everything up but theory crafting is fun :). RAW today, B would not need to use PtA to get advantage against A, because B would have it as a result of A using PtA ("If you do so, until the beginning of your next turn all attacks against you are made...

    Level Up (A5E) Playtest results using pregen characters

    So question about interactions here. Imagine a one-on-one fight. Character A uses press the attack, giving them advantage. Character B falls back, removing advantage from A. A makes their straight attacks. B now has disadvantage on attacks but characters attack attack A with advantage. If B...

    Level Up (A5E) Overrun vs tumble

    Anyone see a reason that one of these is under the basic combat maneuvers and the other is under actions in combat? They seem like exactly the same design to me but one is based on Dex, the other on Str.

    Gate Pass Gazette Timeline for first issue of Gate Pass Gazette and zeitgeist?

    Thanks Morrus. I had previously read that and just straight up missed the 1-2 months for Gate Press Gazette. The "next year" for zeitgeist is pretty broad considering that could be in about 2 months as well :). Do you have a sense of about when backers will start seeing any part of it?

    Gate Pass Gazette Timeline for first issue of Gate Pass Gazette and zeitgeist?

    What's the timeline for the first issue of the Gate Pass Gazette? I know the content is still being developed and it'll need all the finishing touches but it's there a ballpark? End of the year ish? Later? Same question for the zeitgeist setting as a whole but I'm primarily interested in when...
