    Level Up (A5E) O5E Banishment Spell vs A5e

    Have we considered that maybe the target should repeat the saving throw every turn, and be re-banished on a failure? This would also make an extended duration a somewhat logical thing to want if you were trying to permanently banish an extraplanar creature, because if they came back, you’d still...

    Official News A5ESRD: Core Rulebooks Now All Completed Making Biggest Open 5E SRD Available

    Unless they didn’t rewrite something from one of the non-Wotc sources that still drew from wotc, which would then require all of the wotc stuff to be included as well.

    Official News A5ESRD: Core Rulebooks Now All Completed Making Biggest Open 5E SRD Available

    This seems like a better safe than sorry issue. There’s no disadvantage to listing these sources in Section 15, and a huge advantage: if anyone ever disagrees (incorrectly) about their copyright being protected original because they drew inspiration from several other places, they can just point...

    3PP Release New Free Release - Beginners Guide to Enchanting

    I grabbed it since it was free. It sort of sounds like a crafting system, but the wording of it is really confusing, and I don’t see any reason why I would use this over the official rules. The one good part is a d100 table of possible defects for magic items.

    a5e.tools Errata & A5E.tools

    I second this reading. Magic resistance is referenced several times in the MM as matching the AG description. The wording on A5e.tools is weird.

    Elissar/To Save A Kingdom Reddit thread harshly critical of riddle from Memories of Holdenshire

    Easiest fix I can think of to replace “the lea” with “a tree,” which is more common for robin’s eggs. Changing “the sea” to “a sea” could help make the riddle refer not to the egg’s blue shell, but simply the white of the egg, which would resemble water when uncooked. For mint, perhaps “What...

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

    EDIT: Added Disciple Class and Folk of the Court. Split chart into official and unofficial classes, reorganized colors for legibility, consolidated all EN Publishing products.

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

    I’ll be updating things once I wrap up work! I also think it may be time to split the chart into official and unofficial classes for legibility reasons.

    3PP Release Two New Releases! The Disciple Class and Twists of Fate

    Let us know if you want some feedback on the next draft! :)

    3PP Release Two New Releases! The Disciple Class and Twists of Fate

    Oh, also, the destinies in Twists of Fate seem kind of unbalanced to me. E.g. Enlightenment granting truesight or Redemption ending all conditions and effects seem way too strong, especially considering that characters can have access to these features at level 1. For context, the Philosopher...

    3PP Release Two New Releases! The Disciple Class and Twists of Fate

    Okay, so glancing at things, if I were in charge of overhauling this class for A5e, I think my main idea would be to make it more similar to the adept and actually break up the Sublime Disciplines into individual features akin to focus features so that you don’t make your last interesting choice...

    3PP Release Two New Releases! The Disciple Class and Twists of Fate

    So first of all, welcome to the community! It’s been a bit since we’ve had a major 3rd party release, and I’m always happy to see more people getting into A5e. I’m excited to see everything you’re going to bring to the table! Second, having looked over the Disciple briefly, I do think I have...

    Level Up (A5E) What is on *your* ideal Narrator’s screen?

    Emphasis on your because different folks need different things. E.g. a new Narrator might need reminders of appropriate DCs, but old hands usually don’t. Here are some thoughts for mine: -All of the conditions, including strife and fatigue, although perhaps excluding some simple ones like...

    Level Up (A5E) Marshalls with Extra attack

    Yeah, shame there’s no Marshal/Savant multiclass feat chain. If only someone would write one up… ;)

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

    I may need to edit my format at that point

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

    EDIT: Now includes the Plaguebringer from The Rogue’s Collection. I am running out of easily distinguishable colors.

    3PP Release The Plaguebringer - A Sorcerer Archetype

    Nice! Small question: Any chance you could update the spell to include non-classical spell schools? I suggest affliction and poison. I would also like to know which classes can learn this spell. My gut says Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard. Also, I think the language could be clarified...

    Level Up (A5E) Perceptive Stance Maneuver: +3 or +6 to passive perception?

    Yeah, the designer part of my brain says +3, but the grammarian part says +6. I think this could have been avoided by simply saying “You gain an expertise die which increases your passive by 3.”
