Morrus on another post: "Brittle got renamed to weakness (as cloth being 'brittle' doesn't sound right). Good catch! Some old brittle references still there. We'll change them all to weakness" Blog (A5E) - Armor & Materials

Thanks Mike. The Ice Queer clarified this on Discord, but it's good to have it clear here too for those searching. Blizzardball (and hurricaneball!) here we come! :love:

Thanks Mike. I think it would be good to clarify the language as part of the final edits. Even just "if you have the archery fighting style..." or something like that.

Once again, you're talking about converting an existing group of PCs to LU - and expecting everything to be the same. Not compatible. The same. Look, we get it. You read the reams of information and still completely misunderstood what Level Up is. You may have even blown $$ on something you...

That's already in my house rule list :)

I am part-way through an O5E campaign (Red Hand of Doom, loving it!) at the moment, so I'm not in a position to just start a fully A5E game. As such, as I'm reading through the books, I'm thinking about what new rules and options I can easily import into an O5E campaign - ie. without requiring...

Also you kinda get a bonus race heritage, becuase humans have been so well written that they're suddenly a really interesting option to play, even without a free feat! And the loving shout-out to neurodiversity via Ingenious Focus is, well, simply beautiful.

Again (!): What you get from a polearm master + sentinel build might be different, but you can still build it. It's still there. Seriously Rant, by your definition every freaking house rule to modify OP and UP feats and spells, or let sorcerers use spell points, or changes to resting rules...

I presume this is a carry-over from the bizarre WOTC decision to make one uncommon and the other rare (which reamins true in a5e).

Considering the power inbalance within o5e, I don't see the new base classes being that much of an issue alongside o5e classes. But I think the key thing here is that it's not first and foremost designed with that in mind. The clear intent is that everyone will play with the new classes. They...

I mean this is like saying "as soon as you homebrew any rules in your 5e game, you aren't playing a 5e compatible game anymore", which is nonsense.

There are some very specific things you can't do the same or builds that don't work the same way, but that is a different thing to "you can’t really play D&D classes with Level Up classes".

Does the new divine smite still double on a crit? I always thought that was a stupid rule in o5e, and a key part of what made paladins OP martials.

whelp, missed that!

On a separate note, I was a little surprised to see one spell hasn't changed - hypnotic pattern. I've not played with it (as PC or DM) a lot but it often comes up as the most OP 3rd level spell, does it not?

I'm keen to do this by the way. Happy to create a google doc and claim spells starting with letters A-C. Any other takers?

I'd suggest 1. (mechanically) same 2. minor changes 3. major changes 4. brand new Although I guess that will lead to debate about whether a change is minor or major... EDIT: added brand new bc I was a dolt the first time and forgot

If incapacitated is meant to also bar bonus actions, would it not be simple enough to update the text here to do the same, while all the other editing is happening right now? It certainly makes no sense to me that this loophole is intended. Or better yet, add in a definition of bonus actions...

I mean ... that (translated here) would be incredibly bad luck, requiring all of: High damage dealing creature crits (5% chance) PC fails DC15 Con save (65% chance, assuming +1 Con for sake of argument) PC then rolls a 1 on death save (5% chance) That has a 0.16% (or 1.6 in 1000) chance of...

Nice! Under attacks & spellcasting, the Att Bonus heading could be Att Bonus / Save DC, or something like that eg Fireball might have "Dex 13" if your spell save DC is 13. Not sure how you'd fit that in, sorry! Very minor design note: I think the tool proficiencies box would look better if it...
