    Level Up (A5E) Steel Protector feat - clarity and possible errata

    Steel Protector is a synergy feat that requires 3 levels in fighter and 3 levels in herald via Bronze Protector. Bronze Protector is ok as a synergy feat but otherwise not. Steel Protector has potential but it has two taxes: multiclassing and a prerequisite feat. Additionally by the time you can...

    Level Up (A5E) Pact of the Blade past level 5

    Appreciate all your help guys. I never really looked into warlock and now that I have gone this process I really like some of the design choices. I enjoy features that encourage players to invest in the single class and making multiclassing out of it a hard choice - warlocks do this well.

    Level Up (A5E) Pact of the Blade past level 5

    Thanks for helping me out. So here we go again... For clarity, a level 17 melee warlock using Thirsting Blade and Eldritch Scythe gets to decide that they either use: An Eldritch Scythe + Extra blast combo (four attacks); OR Thirsting Blade + two off-hand attacks (four attacks, this is...

    Level Up (A5E) Pact of the Blade past level 5

    This is confusing. These answers seem counter to @lichmaster 's position. Do you guys agree with Lichmaster? My reading of Eldritch Scythe (which may very well be incorrect) is that it requires a melee weapon attack which is then "transformed" into an Eldritch Scythe attack (if the warlock...

    Level Up (A5E) Pact of the Blade past level 5

    Thanks. For clarity, a level 17 warlock using Thirsting Blade and Eldritch Scythe has these options for melee attacks: Two attacks using Eldritch Scythe; OR One Pact of the blade attack and one Eldritch Scythe; OR Two Pact of the blade attacks; OR Using Two Weapon Fighting: One Pact of the...

    Level Up (A5E) Pact of the Blade past level 5

    Damn, A5e Warlocks are the king of swing. I am little confused with this and @lichmaster 's comment. Eldritch Blast requires: 1) using Ray, Scythe or Whip versions; 2) part of your action; 3) not using weapon attacks. If these conditions are met then you may attack twice, three times and four...

    Level Up (A5E) 5e 2024/5.5 vs Level Up A5E

    Combat traditions are really great. I am not sure what what you call this but A5e combat traditions are easy enough to understand for a new player to jump in and pick good fun stuff and really open for crazy combinations for players that are so inclined. I find that you will almost always have a...

    Level Up (A5E) Where am I during mounted combat?

    So, hear me out... If you have a medium creature riding a large ogre that is on riding on top of a huge elephant then it would be considered quite a feat to maintain... and henceforth called a mountain :LOL:

    Level Up (A5E) Spellcrafting Mage Armor

    Yeah, this is what I meant. Fair point on the rarity. Given's it's original wording I thought it would likely be given out at higher levels and assumed it's rarity on that basis - bad assumption. I feel that like reactions are a little better and given that martials would be attacking a wizard...

    Level Up (A5E) Mounting vs Grab On

    Just realized that there might be two different ways to approach mounting. So my understanding is that mount/dismount is half your movement and you can only ride a creature that is at least one size larger than you - inferring that you can only mount this way. However, if a creature is two or...

    Level Up (A5E) Spellcrafting Mage Armor

    An increase in AC per spell level is really strong. A5e Barkskin spell provides this benefit for every two slots which is strong and I would use this as base to compare. There is another spell (Paladin I think) but I cannot recall it but it provides an increase in AC for every three levels...

    Level Up (A5E) Spellcrafting Mage Armor

    Rattled is a strong condition to apply for attacking a wizard given that almost every wizard would have mage armor up. Perhaps, apply disadvantage on the next attack instead.

    Level Up (A5E) Where am I during mounted combat?

    A large creature occupies 10x10 feet worth of squares, or four squares. A medium creature can choose any of the squares on the large mount that seem appropriate. I think it's possible for your character to be placed on any of the squares for a range of scenarios - you could be riding hard and be...

    Level Up (A5E) Blind fighting the blind

    Agreed. To my knowledge being "invisible" is not sufficient to gain the hidden condition. The character has to be unseen and be actively hiding (hide action) to achieve this. Being invisible provides the benefit of not requiring an object to hide behind in order to use the hide action. The...

    Level Up (A5E) 5e 2024/5.5 vs Level Up A5E

    Not sure if A5e did it first but the addition of weapon and armor properties is great and it's where I first saw this. I have re-read those sections so many times when thinking about different ways gear could allow a martials to be different on the battle field. I then saw O5.5e release...
