Always after the roll is made (so you know if the parry would do anything) but before the effect of the hit is declared. I'm usually reminding new players (or even experienced players still unfamiliar with the parry property) that a parry might help.

There was a brief time where cowboys and samurai coexisted in our time. So you don't have to keep it "Western" (as in european), you can also add "Eastern" (as in asian) influences. (Adding those dragons into the mix could add another dimension) But all this talk about "hidden" dragons also got...

Also... lots of the new crunch is there when you need it but you can also easily just handwave/ignore it if the particular game doesn't need/want it. Further reading from Homebrew and Hacking's PJ Coffey https://homebrewandhacking.com/2023/06/14/how-to-explain/ and...

It's getting serious... I might actually get to play an Esper soon. When creating the character I found a few things not 100% obvious: 1. Psionic Focus: Do you have to chose which discipline you are focusing when you are taking the feature or when gaining the Focus? Follow up: Do you have to...

You mean thematic sourcebooks like PMG's Manual of Adventurous Resources (Battlemage, Dark/Light, Elements, Intrigue, Wilderness)?

Once the parts of the GPG are in the A5E SRD nothing (except improper use of the licence you choose) prevents you from compiling such a "more encyclopedic version". But I already noticed that there already were instances with a similar effect to the "Silvery Barbs" for D&D For those not...

Or if you just want a sneak peek into the system (especially with people already familiar with O5E) you could do what I regularly do in my rpg club and run Mama Bear's Revenge with pregens as a one-shot for them to get to know a bit of the changes to the system and then run a "mini-campaign"...

Just note the specific setup of MoH... Some concepts (especially "I'm the shining beacon of everything good") might have problems with the setup of this adventure. If your players are ok just jumping in you might want to use Pregens (all the "official" pregens are also already included in the...

If you decide to continue with TSAK you might want to check out the adventure before the party reaches Holdenshire as this town is listed in more detail in TSAK. The first (aka "preparation") part of TSAK takes place in/around Holdenshire and during some "downtime" in MoH your players might want...

AFAIK The "login" option of A5E.tools was only officially on for a while before the public release. But since then it could be used by anyone without a login. Recently there was a problem with the site that seemed to lock out users but that was fixed. I don't think there is any reason now to...

My favorite (and free) program for that is PDF24(.org) Just compiled the En5ider files together to: Player's Guide (16 MB) Adventures (196 MB) and left the Campaign Guide and the other adventure. The whole process was done in about 5 minutes. For bookmarks you'd need another tool. I used the...

Inspired by the tangent at https://www.enworld.org/threads/januarys-gpg-articles.701712/ since there aren't any specific "turtle" heritages or "ninja" classes in A5E, how about listing things that could qualify as a substitute. For Heritages: Dragonborn with Draconic Armor Dreamborn with...

I was just about to ask if this heading came from a certain theme song. Seems I don't have to ask anymore. Our Gnome Beastmaster with a giant spider might be happy about that (if the Narrator allows him to change his archetype)

Have you tried using a different PDF viewer? Also, none of the PDFs I got from DTRPG restrict me from copy/paste, so instead of writing down pages, why not just copy/paste those parts you need (or think you need) into one document and then go with that? If it just the info (no layout or...

There is an index in the back (but it is not linked or bookmarked)

You know that this would not only require a complete rearrangement of almost every article but in the case of articles that include multiple different things to also rewrite (to reorganize) the articles, too. For example: GPGA#1 p.88-91 Mount Jino has: 2 Exploration Challenges, 3 Monster...

I completely forgot about the Esper. Guess I'll build two "starter" versions (1st and 3rd level) and try to play them in other games first. If anyone knows KotG and can give me some hints what I should or shouldn't use I'm still open for suggestions.

I guess that would make the old version a "limited edition" then... prices will soar (if one could resell pdfs)

Some time in 2024 (but why not start now?) we will start the "Empire of the Ghouls" campaign. If I continue the style of characters I played in the other campaigns with this group I'd be the "healer" again and I might continue the other trend of not being a cleric. So far I've been a Bard in...

How? Let's take a party with 3 characters buying the cheapest strongholds: House (Cha), Temple (Wis) and Encampment (Con) costing 2500.5gp for the buildings and 2750gp for the rural one. Adept gets the temple (and +1 Wis) Bard gets the house (and +1 Cha) Berserker gets the encampment (and +1...
