    Level Up (A5E) Crafting Vicious Weapons

    Thanks, it made sense that I missed something.

    Level Up (A5E) Crafting Vicious Weapons

    Hi all, I'm looking for advice from the community regarding non-magical weapon properties, specificially Vicious (Page 313 of the Adventurer's Guide). This expands a weapon's critical range by 1, and one of my players recently asked if they could either craft a Vicious weapon themselves, or...

    Level Up (A5E) Official Spell Cards?

    I totally get why doing the spell cards would be harder than the maneuver cards, but I'll definitely buy at least two copies if they ever come out.

    Level Up (A5E) ENterplanetary DimENsions Playtest #2: Obscure Origins and Spectacular Spells!

    I think the rulesomancers who have creatified this packet have invented too many words and it makes it hard to understand. I like the plantfolk heritage, and I could see using it in my games. I'm uneasy about the AC bonus in the hands of an optimising player, but it gives a strong reason to...

    Official News Level Up Plans For 2023!

    I'd buy the MM2 sight unseen, based on the quality of the first one. Here's hoping that there is a deluxe option to go with all my other nice A5E books. The Japan sourcebook is feels like one of those things that I'd be unlikely to run a game with, but I'd probably buy to read. I'd happily buy a...

    Official News Meet the all-new official WARMAGE archetype!

    I love it. Can we expect to see this included in a future book for those who don't want computers at the table? No worries if not, I'll just print it out and attach it to an existing book.

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    Are you sure this isn't going to print too early? It seems like questions and issues like these are still coming pretty fast. A couple of typos: p.30 p. 33 p.54 p.57 Typo p.66

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    On thinking about it further, I think this does address a lot of my concerns. @WanderingMystic's comment about Fighters with the Psionic archetype better fitting Heavy Armour helped me understand where the Esper Psychic Warrior fits in. My head was stuck in 3.5 days where Psychic Warriors were a...

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    It's possible that I'm quibbling too much, and you make a good point about the Fighter Archetype offering Heavy Armour plus psy abilities. I think what I'd prefer to see is the Barbarian's Unarmoured Defence, except using INT, rather than using INT in place of DEX. Using INT to Hit I don't feel...

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    Actually, on consideration, +INT to AC does cover it. I'd just give them heavy armour proficiency and say that they don't get the INT bonus whilst wearing it.

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    That was quick! I think INT to Hit and AC might be sending the class off in a different direction. My comments about Heavy Armour or a Mage armour equivalent are to enable a psychic warrior with Strength or Dex. If INT does everything, I'm going to focus on that exclusively. I'd still prefer an...

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    Thanks for being so open to feedback. I'm a hardcover backer, and I certainly don't mind waiting to get the print copy right.

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    I totally missed Mind Strike being a bonus action. That's... pretty effective at level 1.

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    Hi! I have some questions and feedback Questions: p.13 - Psychic Focus - This power refers to a 'chosen discipline'. Does this mean the discipline associated with the power chosen at 1st level (I'd actually prefer to see the player just choose one rather than linking them)? Also, when you...

    I'd also echo the suggestion to spend a week or two getting feedback on the PDF before printing. I have a range of things I'd like to ask about, and I'm sure many of them could be resolved with a simple word tweak or two.

    I can only imagine how bad it must have been at WOTC for this concession to be agreed to.

    Level Up (A5E) Do you feel A5E has Addressed the Martial/Class divide sufficiently?

    I think it has given us more tools to address this divide. The divide can vary depending on the type of game that is being run and my personal belief is that magic often feels stronger because it is a case of clicking your fingers together to advance the story, where the DM often won't allow...
