    As a designer in my own right, let me ask for my own sake: How would you prefer to be engaged?

    3PP Release New 3PP Release: Legends of Strength!

    To be frank, I don’t think that was wise. You’ve functionally given a 3rd level character a very rare +3 weapon, even if only for a brief time. If the Narrator is inexperienced and permits that kind of exploit, you have massively imbalanced the game. Assuming a fight against a CR 1 creature with...

    Isn’t the Bloodlust feature for the Red Death subject to the ol’ “Carry around a bag of bugs to step on” exploit?

    Homebrew Making a time gargoyle (weeping angel)

    I think I’m going to echo the sentiment that Time Gargoyles are probably actually best as an exploration challenge. What makes the weeping angels scary (just rewatched The Time of the Angels last night, coincidentally) is that you have exactly one defense against them which is very precarious...

    Level Up (A5E) Every Archetype in A5e AND 3PP

    EDIT: Added GPG #21. With that, the Artificer overtakes the Savant and is no longer the least supported official class, although it is still the least supported when restricted to official archetypes.

    Gate Pass Gazette GPG Issue #21 has arrived!

    Well, it’s not one word. The text above it clearly implies that here was a third archetype because it says It may have been cut, but there clearly was a plan for a specific third one.

    Final? You’re wrapping up TTs AND MoAR? I sort assumed TTs would just carry on indefinitely.

    I mean, it makes more sense than whatever the Hexblade was trying to be. I feel like Fjord from the Mighty Nein demonstrated really well that the hexblade could be so much more than just a magic sword user, but he didn’t get any mechanical elements to back up his patron’s flavor until way late...

    3PP Release New Release: Primal Sorcery

    You know, I gotta admire the awareness of the meta here: not making an earth option because you know that one already exists in the DDG.

    Level Up (A5E) Every Archetype in A5e AND 3PP

    I agree that this would be very useful, but it’s a super tall order for all of them! However, I’ll tell you what: I can at least respond on an individual basis to someone who wants a preview of one of these archetypes or is looking for advice as to what might fit, as I own nearly all of the...

    Level Up (A5E) Every Archetype in A5e AND 3PP

    EDIT: Added the Artificers from Advanced Artificers, and reclassified the Thopterist from PMG to to Loot the Boss Note: there are now two versions of the Artificer class, as well as multiple versions of certain Artificer archetypes. However, they will remain categorized as they have been.

    Level Up (A5E) O5E Banishment Spell vs A5e

    So rounds 1 and 2 are just part of the math, but because the minimum number of rounds is 1d4 + 1, the Round 3 column represents the probability that the target won’t be banished for the full duration of the spell if it lasts its minimum duration, assuming it’s initial chance of succeeding...

    Level Up (A5E) O5E Banishment Spell vs A5e

    I did the math for how likely a target is to ultimately escape before the spell’s full duration assuming different initial chances to escape, recalling that a 20 is a critical success. Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Round 5 Round 6 5 9.75 14.2625 18.549375 22.62190625 26.49081094 10 14.5...
