toucanbuzz submitted a new resource: Spell changes from 5E to A5E - Cheat sheet for what spells were altered from 5E to A5E Read more about this resource...

Document lays out parameters for spells being assigned to major changes, minor, none (cosmetic), new or removed. The actual spell text is not included because that'd be cheating.

I'm going with the ones I know, but really it's highly subjective. A good DM can take a weak adventure and turn it into quality entertainment. A good DM can take a great adventure and make it something classic. The original ratings were largely based on novelty in design, whether it be...

It seems your main concern is the ability of anyone to just run by enemy lines and attack the back ranks with impunity. 1. Tracking monsters could be a pain for the DM. If you have 15 orcs, you're having to track who used what reactionary movement and when. 2. If a monster or class has a bonus...

Anubis 50 + 1 = 52 Athena 49 Boccob 48 Odin 45 Selune 39 Yondalla 42 - 2 = 40

Anubis 52 + 1 = 53 Athena 51 Boccob 50 Odin 49 Selune 41 Yondalla 46 - 2 = 44 @Riley It was going to happen regardless of the promotion. Choose your path.

Friends (c). Boost. It's actually really useful now. If you have roleplaying going on. Giant Insect (4). Same quality of spell, still not sure anyone really uses it. Goodberry (1). Nerf, and the spell needed it imo as it kills the "survival/exploration" aspect of the game too easily for 1st...

Yuck, missed that. That's a terrible change. I thought maybe I was misreading, but nope. I can't think of one player who would waste a 6th level slot in my groups on it.

Next, my take on page 1 of the "Major" overhauls as I saw them: Animate Objects (5). Nerfed a bit but still a solid spell. Banishment (4). Nerfed quite a bit; was an ultimate "save or lose" spell that became much more powerful when magic resistance % was removed, so I can't complain. You've...

I saw this thread awhile back and no followup about spells that were changed. So, I compared, dividing the spell changes into: Major (overhaul and/or major change in gameplay). Included a summary of the changes, not the entire spell. Minor (1-2 changes, largely the same spell, mostly "cast at...

Anubis 56 + 1 = 57 Athena 58 Boccob 53 Lugh Lámfada 40 Odin 53 Olladra 40 Sehanine 17 Selune 54 Yondalla 44 - 2 = 42

GenCon 2014 launch, got into one of the very limited seats for that year. Knew I was going 5E before that, switching from DMing Pathfinder (my way of protesting that I didn't like where 4E went). Had a large group, half wanted to stay Pathfinder, half came with me to 5E, amicable split...

Anubis 53 Athena 56 Boccob 50 Lugh Lámfada 43 Odin 56 Olladra 44 Sehanine 29 - 2 = 27 Selune 53 Takhisis 7 + 1 = 8 Yondalla 46 It may be a losing proposition, but I'm partial to Dragonlance and giving the Queen of Darkness her chance at the top that folks like Huma and Raistlin and Tasselhoff...

Welp, add me to the "things you've been doing wrong in 5E" list as to saving throws. Haven't run Rime, but in Curse of Strahd, if the DM runs Strahd as the super-genius with centuries of wisdom and a former lifetime of being a general that he is, he should be near-invincible with his "hit...

Anubis 55 Athena 53 Boccob 50 Lugh Lámfada 44 Odin 55 Olladra 45 Sehanine 38 - 2 = 36 Selune 51 Takhisis 31 + 1 = 32 Yondalla 48

Anubis 52 Athena 51 Boccob 51 Lugh Lámfada 50 - 2 = 48 Odin 51 Olladra 50 Sehanine 45 Selune 51 Takhisis 42 + 1 = 43 Yondalla 50 Some Queen of Darkness haters out of the gates? Is this going to be another "everyone ignores the halflings" event and then they take over?

Only 1 initiative roll, whatever is the worst (slowest) die. You never reroll initiative in a single round, though you can be bumped to last. For the monk, unarmed strikes are d4. If a monk wanted to reserve the option to use a staff (d8) with their attacks, they'd declare they're "using a...
