    Level Up (A5E) more nuanced stronghold questions

    The "Stronghold Ability Score Increase" paragraph pretty much nukes the idea of just buying 6 strongholds (one per stat) and passing them around a group. Once you got a +1 (or a +2) from a stronghold you can't get another +1 (or +2) to another stat

    Level Up (A5E) more nuanced stronghold questions

    You only get the benefits of one stronghold (your "permanent" stronghold, although I'd rename that to "active") no matter how many strongholds you got. If you want to build or buy strongholds in every town you are... feel free to, but there's only one "home". Allowing you to keep the benefits...

    Level Up (A5E) more nuanced stronghold questions

    Sidebar on AG p. 362 So... If you separate your Laboratory and the Guildhouse you got two strongholds but can only gain the benefits of one of them. If you combine the two (technically you'd have to have built the larger guildhouse first before putting the smaller laboratory in it but I'd allow...

    Level Up (A5E) Who’s making non-player facing stuff?

    Gate Pass Gazette has quite a few of them. And in the A5E-section of DTRPG I see some: Two "Ecology of Gravitas" by Josh Gentry (I'm a big fan of the "Khalkos Conspiracy")

    Level Up (A5E) Swift Strategist Marshal Nimble Troops Ability

    The troops of a swift strategist just know that their commander wants them to hurry up. And if they are within his commanding presence area they feel "compelled" to do so. If they start the turn outside the presence it's chill and they don't have to hurry ;) Edit: Although the above was written...

    Level Up (A5E) Bucklers

    The normal light shield uses your hand but you can modify a light shield for +25gp "hands free" to have the shield hand "free" (you can't wield weapons with this hand or throw the shield)

    Level Up (A5E) Visual Art Speciality and touch spells?

    Counterquestion... does a spell have to have a Material Component that you can exchange for a Spell Focus or can you add a Spell Focus to any of your spells?

    3PP Release New 3PP release: Manual of Adventurous Resources: Complete! AVAILABLE NOW!

    Boo on me working today... If I didn't I'd have been at home to receive the printed book. Now I have to wait till monday (at least) to get the package from the post office myself :(

    Homebrew Making a time gargoyle (weeping angel)

    To me the weeping angels are somewhat of a kitchen sink with regards to their abilities. Every time they appeared they had different motivations/powers/... But timelocked and quantum state look good. Timelocked might just be the answer why people don't just destroy the angels while someone...

    Level Up (A5E) Quick Question about Lean Into It

    Since this applies to all your melee weapon attacks that you make until the start of your next turn (including Opportunity attacks) it applies to all your attacks including those on the turn where you activate the maneuver. Since there is no "your attacks deal no damage" clause the knocking...

    Level Up (A5E) Thoughts on A5E classes from your table(s)?

    It only costs the bard a reaction if he wants to activate a new hymn but if it is still active (or sustained) they can just declare a target whenever. Regarding instrument specialties and hymns... May I suggest cards for them? The current hymn (with all the info on the card) on the table at the...

    a5e.tools Errata & A5E.tools

    It's almost identical. "Normal" Magic Resistance works against spells and magical effects and not just spells (and the Magic Resistance isn't limited to spells cast within 30 feet)

    Level Up (A5E) Some questions about druid rules interactions

    A shield is carried equipment that disappears (and is effectively ignored) The Wild Shape AC is listed in the rules (or the form you take if that is better). Even things like rings/amulets/... or other "permanent" effects that you just have to carry won't stay active once you shift forms.

    Level Up (A5E) Some questions about druid rules interactions

    Regarding 1: Since it never left your hand I'd still allow you to have it ready after turning back if you changed back fast enough. Regarding 2. If the only things you could do would be Dash, Disengage or Dodge you'd be immobile unless you spent your action to Dash to get any movement...

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

    Also... the character who uses the effect has to be within the Commanding Presence, so relatively near the Marshal, making it easier for area attacks from enemies to target both together.

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

    I browsed a bit over the disciple yesterday and wondered why this (obviously martial) class doesn't use the mechanism that all A5E martials (and even some "adjacent" get)... Exertion. All the disciplines look like they could be the basis for a combat tradition (and some of the effects remind me...

    Level Up (A5E) Marshalls with Extra attack

    My Vox Savant (who recently MCed into Marshal because talk can only help you so far in Hell) could maybe use one of these in 2-3 levels (and maybe even get to the second one if the DM allows me to exchange one of my previous feats) just before the campaign ends. Currently the Spymaster (from...

    Have you seen the video where a sleeping/dozing dad almost reflexively catches his baby that falls from the couch?
