    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    Unfettered Emotions might be the closest thing to the "Triggered Healbot", guess I'll do some character building to see when/how this might work. Next things I noticed: p. 11: Ballistic Mind Strike as written seems to be a "normal (p/s/b) damage" psionic Magic Missile as there is no mention of...

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    First... Great book. I am both happy (as a GM) and just a little sad (as a player) that the monstrosity that was my "give me your damage and I'll heal it" Psychic Warrior from 3.0 times doesn't seem to be possible. (This beast regularly healed 100+ hp daily at level 5 or 6, keeping the group...

    Beholders, Mind Flayers, and Strahd von Zarovich Released Into Creative Commons (Kinda)

    I just had this thought, that putting the CC on an OGL product might trigger the OGL clause of using PI. Great catch on the "independent agreement", so it seems we now "only" have to list all the Trademarks in the CC SRD.

    A proposal for a multi-tiered license structure

    There was another system which took the tactical combat from 4e and some other elements from more Indie games called "Strike!" which I used ages ago to quickly run a few sessions based on the background of Guild Wars 2 (without much prep)

    Level Up (A5E) Maybe switching over to Level Up -- I have three big questions -- seeking suggestions

    You might want to check out the A5E-Resources on this site. There are quite a few things that can help. Cheat sheets, Spell cards, ... I don't have the physical books (yet... but AG and T&T are on their way) but just with the pdfs on a tablet (if for example a player wants to read things like...

    Level Up (A5E) Troupe style play and downtime?

    Has anyone experimented with downtime and troupe style game? If every player has more than one character but only plays one at a time the character(s) not played may have time to do downtime activities even if the plot "requires" the group to continuously tackle the problems at hand. While one...

    Level Up (A5E) What is "missing" for A5E War of the Burning Sky?

    I'm probably overthinking it because it was that much fun the first time (is there a "tales from your WotBS sessions"-thread or should I open one to not derail this thread?) The bard in the group jumped on the opportunity to become a Wayfarer as soon as possible (and also got the SoF in the 2nd...

    Level Up (A5E) What is "missing" for A5E War of the Burning Sky?

    I intend to "sometime soon" start running WotBS again (I ran the first few adventures ages ago with 3.5 and we tried to "continue" in 4e but then the group disbanded) If I start it now (with a new group since all players don't play D&D anymore) I'll use A5E. Which WotBS parts are not already...

    Gate Pass Gazette Cipher Sword shenanigans

    I recently had some strange ideas regarding Cipher Swords (from GPG #3) 1. Can a 10th level Artificer make a Schematic of the (very rare) weapon and then create Infusions of them? 2. If so, does someone who was given one of those Infusion Cipher Swords (ICS) lose the gained mastery levels if...

    Official News Level Up’s Archlich: The Mouthless One

    BTW: Whispered One vs. .Mouthless One ended in a "Do we really want to do this the next hours?" MO has better stats (almost everything including a multiple of HP), but a shorter range for the only attack that is pretty sure to cause damage which causes him to be in range for WO's attacks. WO...

    Official News Level Up’s Archlich: The Mouthless One

    I asked this on the discord but maybe someone here knows about it (or has plans): Is there a "Whispered One vs. Mouthless One" already somewhere online? I'll probably have an Archlich duel with the "I almost always play wizards" player from my regular group as Vecna. I am wondering if I should...

    Level Up (A5E) Limited Range Maneuvers

    As for specifically combining Dangerous Signature with a ranged attack... Couldn't that be done with The Throwing Stance (also Unending Wheel)? Granted... a normally Melee only weapon would probably still be counted as a Ranged Weapon Attack but if it was only used to leave a mark (at short...

    Gate Pass Gazette Clarification on the Artificer from the Gazette (Errata needed)

    I'd go with the listing in the text as you just reach 3rd spell level at 9th, so you would at the same time that you reach 3rd level keep the same fizzle ratio from your 2nd level spells. Delaying this better portraits some sort of better control over the spells.

    WotBS 5e East Wind monk cantrips

    Can an East Wind monk use his cantrips without Ki points or does he need 1/cantrip since they are "level 0" spells? The examples only list level 1+ spells so they don't really clarify this Thanks in advance.

    Drow of the Burning Sky

    Can someone clarify a bit about the setting for me? The hidden city of the Taranesti was originally a Drow city. But right now the drow aren't there anymore (except the two assassins). Am I right to assume that the Drow left the city some time ago (even before the Taranesti came) and are now...

    Katrina as a PC in adventure 7

    I am wondering if it would be possible to include Katrina as a PC in adventure 7. Our group recently changed and one of the new players would be a great fit for Katrina. So far none of her special background has become known to the group (I'm putting this vague on purpose, just in case one of...

    Having Trouble with D&D Insider (tech issues)

    You can also use a "backdoor" login by logging into the forums. Once I logged myself in there I also was logged into the Insider AND my login even stayed logged in (which it usually didn't do)

    Anyone active on the Wizards boards?

    In my experience, it's not the logo but the useability in the Character Builder that makes and breaks third party products in 4e. If it's something simple (like a magic item that works sometimes and you just can write the stats to the "normal/magical" version of the item) then it's far likelier...

    Fun in Seaquen

    I'd take a look at the "Spellscarring" Rules from the Forgotten Realms. They could fit the mutations from Biomancy somewhat.
