    Level Up (A5E) Vampersan's Rules Inquiry Thread

    When you cast a spell without spell points, it follows the same rules as a spell cast without spell slots--it is only at its lowest possible level. You have no resource by which the spell can be up-cast.

    Level Up (A5E) What are "Subtle Changes" in LU?

    Writing is required to learn separately from spoken, and there are similarities between spoken and written but they are scarcely identical! [edit] And I say that as a person who took a long time to learn to read and write, and who knows several people for whom that is the case.

    Level Up (A5E) Looking for a Warforged Heritage

    Since backwards compatibility exists, you can also just let that player use warforged: get: warforged (or other) race traits (all of them) forego: heritage and culture sellection, no ability score bonus from background I've done this exact thing in my groups.

    Level Up (A5E) Is the Warlock the king of at-will damage?

    Keep in mind that my opinion is only my own, and that revisions to warlock's attack replacements are incoming. (Missing 4e's power structure/ "basic attack")

    Level Up (A5E) ASI Ideas. Extra for those without Magic Items, Ect

    5e is balanced on the expectation of no magic items, so there is no "catching up" a character has to do with the game system if the Narrator doesn't give treasure or if a PC personally opts-out of treasure. The "Recommended" starting wealth and all that exists with emphasis on the...

    Level Up (A5E) Level Up: An issue of class names

    A herald is also the announcer of divine things to come, as in not a political king but a supernatural king. Hence divine magic.

    Level Up (A5E) Is Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition compatible with D&D 5E?

    To the folks saying "A5e classes are just better in every way," I obviously have no counterargument to that!

    Level Up (A5E) Is Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition compatible with D&D 5E?

    "fundamental imbalance" does exist between the two wizards, due to the fact that all A5e classes have support for all three pillars of gameplay. In the case of full casters, they received support for non-spell-related ways to contribute to exploration and social. However, an A5e wizard has the...

    Level Up (A5E) Is Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition compatible with D&D 5E?

    This is also an example of backward compatibility. Take your O5e character and put it into an A5e campaign, it works just fine.

    Level Up (A5E) Is Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition compatible with D&D 5E?

    The term used by the A5e design team was backward compatible. A5e is backward compatible with O5e content. You can run O5e content while playing A5e. This is just like how Final Fantasy VII (the original) is a PS game, but you can run it on PS2 because PS2 is backward compatible.

    Level Up (A5E) What are "Subtle Changes" in LU?

    All clerics prepare ceremony automatically, meaning that if they never spend a spell slot on it they can still cast it as a ritual at-will (provided material components)

    Level Up (A5E) What are "Subtle Changes" in LU?

    Pact of the Blade lets you use your spellcasting ability with it Armor of Shadows is constant mage armor, not at-will Warlock's Arcanum are invocations now, which means you can either take that 7th-level spell or take some other feature instead.

    Level Up (A5E) Opinion - Booming Blade? Greenflame Blade?

    There is no mechanical reason why hex, booming blade, and the like can't be in your A5e game. They were not "removed" from A5e, they simply could not be reprinted due to technical reasons.

    Official News Level Up Class Preview: Ranger

    Gnolls evolved from hyenas, but they worship demons who they thank for the transformation. Their connection to demons is clearly cultural.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Studio Blog - Sage Advice - Creature Evolutions

    This is an incredibly smart read! This upgraded some of my schema for sure. This is helpful for interpreting Fiends and Celestials--which regardless of their personal dispositions are fundamentally influenced by their planar origin. Demons who become kindly and angels who fall are still...
