Which can be, sometimes, better than some of the material in the core rulebooks.

Wouldn't such a subclass be pretty moot when every martial class in A5e has access to combat maneuvers?

Every martial class in Level Up, thanks to the numerous Combat Traditions in Level Up, is a Battlemaster. :)

Several of us have already done that. ;)

Druids deal with nature, be it nature on the Material plane or what you might call nature on the Inner and Outer Planes. Shamans otoh deal with spirits and a Spirit Realm (if one exists in your setting's cosmology). Or they could step aside (not likely) and let a homebrewer like Kibblestasty or...

If 5e was more like PF1, you could play as a member of the base class as is or you could play an archetype of the base class. 5e, unfortunately, doesn't give you the option. All of the flavor of a given class resides in the various subclasses of that class.

An Arcane half-caster/Fighter hybrid. WoTC has been trying to make one for some time now. 3e's Duskblade. 4e's Swordmage. It is time 5e had its' own official gish. I say official because of Laser Llama's own homebrewed Magus class. ;) Laser Llama also has his own Warlord and Shaman classes.

Unless they were a polymorphed metallic dragon that was merely pretending to be the illiterate 25-year-old resident of a fictitious medieval village. ;) Remember the metallic dragons do like taking on non-assuming, non-draconic forms. Even the father of all metallic dragons does it. ;) As for...

I am curious if the differences between 14 and 24 are noticeable during gameplay. Ditto for 14/24 and A5e. ;) Does the 2024 version of Dual-Wielding address the problem of competing Bonus Actions? In 5e14, you had to either decide to use your Bonus Action for your offhand attack or to forgo...

It ought to be 'What version or its' equivalent'. ;) I've been playing 5e since 2021.

EN Publishing set out to address some of the issues the players were having with 5e, and AFAIK it succeeded. It advanced the RPG to the next level.

A5e also had something of a head start over 5e 2024. ;)

The chances A5e did take were enough to get me interested in backing and collecting it. :)

Level Up: A5e. Where to even start? 🤔 *It's slightly crunchier than 5e and has addressed some of the issues found in 5e (such as the Martial/Spellcaster gap). *Race/Species was split up into Heritage (who your parents are) and Culture (the society you grew up in). All of the species traits that...

Reading some of the player-facing material (species, classes, etc.) in order to come up with a character concept for your character during session zero and then trying to role-play as that character during the actual adventure itself. Playing with complete strangers at the TTRPG or the VTTRPG...

Whereas Level Up's crunch deals with the three pillars of gameplay (combat, exploration, and social interaction) and a more extensive origin (heritage, culture, background and destiny) for anyone making a PC.

The official Google definition for Crunch in an RPG: In the context of role-playing games (RPGs), "crunch" refers to the mechanics and rules that govern gameplay. It contrasts with "fluff," which relates to the narrative and setting of the game. Crunch is often characterized by the complexity...

Laser Llama and PF1 (Paizo and Legendary Games) both have the Shifter class, a more martial wildshaping class. Laser Llama's take on the Shifter class just allows the character to assume an avian, a brute, a carnivore or a reptile with their Bloodline feature...

There ought to be Druid subclasses for 5e that focus on those two monster types. PF1 had the Treesinger Druid (which covered the Plant types) and Kobold Press had the Elemental Exarch Druid for PF1.

In older editions of D&D and Pathfinder you could wildshape into Elementals and Plant Creatures. While you could only get these forms at higher tiers of game play, they were geared more toward combat.
