    Level Up (A5E) Mythological/Literary/Historical Subclasses

    I personally really enjoy high risk/reward options (provided the award is genuinely worth it), and I think the Berserker is a really solid base to start with when making such a character. For example, I get why Reckless Attack is gone (while there's probably other reasons, I personally think...

    Level Up (A5E) Mythological/Literary/Historical Subclasses

    Sun Wukong Druid: From the Adventurer's Guide (I don't know what page since I'm using the SRD), "You still retain the benefit of any features from your class, destiny, or culture and can use them if your wild shape is physically capable of doing so." I'm pretty confident that this line means...

    Level Up (A5E) A5e Character Builder

    If I’m not mistaken, the Level Up Kickstarter passed the stretch goals necessary to have a full character creator as part of the SRD. We were told that would take a lot of time, and I honestly don’t expect it for a while longer - however, I am curious if there is any sort of update, even just a...

    Level Up (A5E) What Interests You about "Level Up"?

    Some classes are changed more than others. Berserker is, in my opinion, significantly different from the barbarian - improved in every way, but it still feels right. Warlock (my most-played class) is more subtly different, but those subtle differences have an enormous positive impact on the...

    Level Up (A5E) Runespell Rager: A Berserker/Warlock Synergy Feat Chain

    I really appreciate this feedback! Here's a changelog: Rune-linked Mind and Body: Now only grants half your per-turn rage HP added to your spell attack/save DC. Still only costs 1 exertion. Spell-wrought Rage: Now costs 5 spell points, rather than a scaling cost. Figured a rage was roughly the...

    Level Up (A5E) Runespell Rager: A Berserker/Warlock Synergy Feat Chain

    The quickest way to find holes you overlooked is to throw something on the internet - in other words, thanks! Mystic Maneuver definitely goes overboard.

    Level Up (A5E) Runespell Rager: A Berserker/Warlock Synergy Feat Chain

    Here's a sample for a berserker/warlock synergy feat chain that I've been tinkering with: [removed] Short version: 1st Feat (Runespell Rager): Make Eldritch Blast and your pact weapon compatible with Furious Critical and Crushing Blows. (Also, you can mix and match the barbarian and warlock...

    Level Up (A5E) Book Delivery - And Book Damage

    Your link almost got me there! It brought me to the page with all the announcements, then I had to comb through specific announcements till I found one with the right link.

    Level Up (A5E) GM's Screen—Nice!

    Been several posts showcasing the main books—here's one showcasing the GM's Screen. This thing is nice! I already thought the PDF version looked good, but this looks way better. Feels excellent, too—just a little bit of weight, feels like I could throw this thing around and not be afraid of what...

    Level Up (A5E) Book Delivery - And Book Damage

    I don’t want to make a deal out of this - I checked to see if I could directly message someone but didn’t find a contact, otherwise I wouldn’t have made a public post. Obviously I’m psyched to have my books - unfortunately, they aren’t in perfect condition. Who do I reach out to about damaged books?

    Level Up (A5E) Natural Lycanthropes as a Heritage

    Further evidence that true originality is dead :P But, I suppose the good news is that if Pathfinder already does this - and does it well - then it’s a proven method that might work as well in A5e.

    Level Up (A5E) Natural Lycanthropes as a Heritage

    If you wanted to give natural lycanthropy to any heritage, I would write natural lycanthropy as a Gift that didn’t have an assigned heritage. If you want to be a natural lycanthrope you can pick the appropriate Gift instead of one of the usual ones for your heritage, then maybe have Paragon...

    Level Up (A5E) Anyone thought of a Swarm/Mob Heritage?

    This isn't a swarm of tiny creatures, but I did write two hive-mind races for a homebrew campaign I was working on a while back that kind of fall into this category. I was surprised by how much of Faolyn's spitballing was near spot-on for what I already did for one of them. (I ended up mostly...

    Level Up (A5E) Queen Bee Berserker Build: A Recap

    Unfortunately, the group that I was going to play this character with has been extremely inconsistent, so I decided I didn't want to wait any longer before discussing this unique build. At the bare minimum, making the character gave me a lot of thoughts. If you want a more detailed breakdown of...

    D&D 4E A Discussion Thread for Jacob's 4e Redsign Journal (+)

    One more thing: as someone who has a hard time finding the time he needs to meaningfully advance his passion projects, I found it inspirational when you described some of the ways being over 50 makes this very tough, yet you’re clearly managing anyway. Gives me inspiration to keep pressing forward!

    D&D 4E A Discussion Thread for Jacob's 4e Redsign Journal (+)

    Commenting largely so I can keep up with this. Reading through what you posted in the other thread, I'm very curious to see where this goes. I'm enjoying your game philosophy a lot so far, at least from what I've read. (Also, as someone who is also working on a game passion project, I find it...
