    Level Up (A5E) The Marshal Daring Assault feature, is it as strong as I think it is?

    It is a strong benefit, but it is also the only benefit at level 3 of the subclass, and it works only on your allies. I do agree it skews combat priorty towards making as many attacks as possible, instead of a lower number of more powerful hits (the same tended to be the build priority of...

    Level Up (A5E) Marshalls with Extra attack

    If you really wanted you could multiclass 2 levels into Vanguard Savant, to give the other attack away too. (Edit: Vanguard, not Vox)

    That "Feel My Sting" line (...) and you may have the weapon gain the heavy property while you’re wielding it. Changes so that you can treat the weapon as if it has the heavy property, for the purposes of Furious Critical and maneuvers. See also...

    a5e.tools Errata & A5E.tools

    The day this gets fixed is a sad day for small Queen Bee Berserkers, as it's the only weapon they can use to get brutal criticals with, without making the weapon heavy and thus getting disadvantage on all attacks :P (If you don't use the unofficial rule that got approved by the writer but is not...

    Homebrew Official Level Up Character Sheet (Fancy)

    To be fair, my group has been playing for over a year now, and we still tie abilities to skills most of the time. It is a hard habit to get rid of :D Happily waiting for a form-fillable version to see if I would use it. The current form-fillable version is not entirely to my liking either, but...

    Level Up (A5E) Thirst, hot weather gear and Berserker's Path of Scorching Summers Developed Talent

    I am sorry if I came across that way. The problem is not distinguishing fluff from crunch, it is inconsistency (advantage on saves vs. automatically succeeding), referencing an item that does not exist (hot weather gear), and finally granting a boon that seems to have no benefit (saving throws...

    Level Up (A5E) Thirst, hot weather gear and Berserker's Path of Scorching Summers Developed Talent

    I agree, but I am not sure what you mean by this in the context of this topic?

    Level Up (A5E) Thirst, hot weather gear and Berserker's Path of Scorching Summers Developed Talent

    I did. In fact, I searched the whole A5E.tools compendium while I was at is for both 'thirst' and 'hot weather'. For thirst, the only relevant hit (so not bloodthirst or thirst for battle) I got was the reference to the adventure guide where it states supply is food and water. Hot weather came...

    Level Up (A5E) Elite Monster Template

    If the goal is to have an elite monster be effectively two normal monsters (simultaneously, not consecutively), then increasing DPR (or combat effectiveness) by 50% seems fair. After all, after half of the total HP in damage has been dealt to two normal monsters, one of them will have died and...

    Level Up (A5E) Thirst, hot weather gear and Berserker's Path of Scorching Summers Developed Talent

    Berserkers get two Developed Talents that deal with opposite survival aspects. The Path of Scorching Summers deals with hot weather and thirst, whereas the Path of Lean Winters deals with cold weather and hunger. The Berserker's Developed Talent Path of Scorching Summers has the following...

    Level Up (A5E) Bear-Bonded, temp HP and rage

    Thanks, that is what I assumed. About the word count: adding the line: "It can benefit from temporary hit points." to the Shared Rage subclass feature would have sufficed I think. But I am not a writer for these (though is it possible to become one?) so I wouldn't know ;) The reason I didn't...

    Level Up (A5E) Bear-Bonded, temp HP and rage

    Gate Pass Gazette Issue #11 added a very flavourful subclass for Berserker: Bear-Bonded (or in my head: BEARserker). I found the following issue, which I am pretty sure is an oversight. Bear Companion (Bear-Bonded 3) Whenever you roll initiative, and at the end of a rest, your bear companion...

    Level Up (A5E) Help me make a necromancer archetype

    Slight necro (pun intended). Does it cost an (bonus) action to command the Created Minion? If not: Is this not way more powerful than a beastmaster's companion? It feels like at (e.g.) lvl 10, a Revenant or Wraith would wipe the floor with Mr. Snuffles and his 40 temp HP. Wraith being even more...

    Homebrew Level Up Roll20 Character Sheet is live!

    Sounds good as well. Proficiency would be one to add to these I think.

    Homebrew Level Up Roll20 Character Sheet is live!

    Is there a way to add expertise dice to a saving throw? (As would be the case for Dex saves when wielding heavy shields) And on an unrelated note: Would it be possible to have a field for inspiration? Could be a simple checkbox or something next to the Destiny.

    Level Up (A5E) Best Beginner Build

    I think the full spellcasters (maybe except Bard) are almost the same level of complexity as they are in O5E, and I found O5E spellcasters perfectly suitable even for newer players. While not exactly as simple as rolling a d20 and add +5 to hit every turn, playing a spellcaster is really not...

    Level Up (A5E) Eldritch Scythe vs Pact Weapon Invocations. What is the point.

    Sure, but the only difference between Thirsting Blade and Extra Attack are the words "with your pact weapon", which I would interpret as exactly that: Extra attack, but only with the pact weapon. So there is a problem when I forgo both, but not if I forgo one of the attacks? I don't see why...

    Level Up (A5E) Eldritch Scythe vs Pact Weapon Invocations. What is the point.

    No I really don't think that is how it should be ruled. If so, would the Extra Attack feature on the Marshal not allow him to make an additional attack after using Commanding Presence either? "Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on...

    Level Up (A5E) Eldritch Scythe vs Pact Weapon Invocations. What is the point.

    What makes you say so? Thirsting Blade: You can attack with your pact weapon twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Commanding Presence: When you take the Attack action, you can forgo making one attack to allow a friendly creature within range of your...

    Level Up (A5E) Is Pact of the Blade worth it

    Good catch. I don't think so though, but the wording on Thirsting Blade is very similar. I am certain Thirsting Blade doesn't stack with extra attack though, if you were to get it via lvl 5 Fighter for example. But the stacking of Extra Attack is only excluded by the multiclassing rules I think?
