    Level Up (A5E) LevelUp DanDaDan

    This thread is intended as some sort of "thinking aloud" for my thoughts on how to convert things as seen on DanDaDan (right now up to Episode 1x12 and mainly based on the Anime). I'll assume people who read this thread to have seen these episodes, so I don't have to fill this with spoilers...

    Level Up (A5E) Artificers "casting by the book"

    Just wondering... Wizards (the other class with a book full of magic) are the only class who can cast every spell they know as a ritual from their spellbook. What would it take for an Artificer to be able to cast their Ritual spells from their Schematic book even if they didn't prepare them as...

    Level Up (A5E) What is living on the food and "souls" put in extradimensional spaces?

    A5E removed some of the easy (low level) ways to "cheat" with exploration. You can't stockpile food and drink in bags of holding and similar places (as they lose all their nourishing value the moment they are in the bags) and even harder... if you put a dead body inside of these it can't be...

    Level Up (A5E) Expertise dice to attack rolls

    They are quite rare but there. The ones that come to mind are: Heritage: Dragonborn: Aquatic Paragon "Gain an expertise die on weapon attack rolls while underwater" Human: Intrepid trait 1/rest "When you make an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, you can choose to gain an expertise...

    Voidrunner Escape from Death Planet Narrator "Cheat booklet" [Spoilers]

    At the weekend I had the chance to start running EfDP without too much prep (I read the first two chapters of the adventure half a day before running it) and noticed that I had to check some things elsewhere (which led to me having one tablet with the VC PDF, a printout of EfDP, another tablet...

    Level Up (A5E) "Easy Mode" Pregens?

    Has anyone compiled a list of "easy mode" (i.e. easy to learn and understand) parts for characters? Background: I quite often run intro games for people who never played D&D (or sometimes any RPG) and whose first (or second) language isn't English, so the easier it is to read and understand...

    Level Up (A5E) Cantrip Spellcraft downtime

    What's the general consensus on Spellcraft downtime to modify cantrips? I recently found out (on two occasions) that my artificer (whose only constant source of damage is Produce Flame) was "support only" when faced with creatures immune to fire. Would Spellcraft to modify a cantrip be the...

    Elissar/To Save A Kingdom "Missing" Map collection for TSAK

    Recently there was some talk on the discord that TSAK didn't have all the "required" maps. Since the campaign has been out for a while now, how about we share what we got for our groups? If someone is looking for some specific map that hasn't been done yet, maybe we can help creating such...

    WotBS Fateholder of the Burning Sky?

    I'm probably starting an A5E campaign of A5E "soon" and since I know the people playing in the game will probably vary (maybe even from session to session) I was thinking about a way to add or remove characters at a moment's notice. Then I thought of the Fateholder from Gate Pass Gazette 1...

    Level Up (A5E) A5E versions of "adolenscent modified invisible chelonians"

    Inspired by the tangent at https://www.enworld.org/threads/januarys-gpg-articles.701712/ since there aren't any specific "turtle" heritages or "ninja" classes in A5E, how about listing things that could qualify as a substitute. For Heritages: Dragonborn with Draconic Armor Dreamborn with...

    Level Up (A5E) A5E healer (probably non-cleric) for Empire of the Ghouls

    Some time in 2024 (but why not start now?) we will start the "Empire of the Ghouls" campaign. If I continue the style of characters I played in the other campaigns with this group I'd be the "healer" again and I might continue the other trend of not being a cleric. So far I've been a Bard in...

    Fast improvised "Danger" room ideas?

    A note about the situation: We got a relatively new group of people together playing A5E with not that much knowledge of the particular system (some players have D&D experience but not all had much 5e experience if any) and we are also playing on Foundry which many of the players also don't have...

    Level Up (A5E) Observations on Elissar

    I am still pondering if there would be interest in some sort of "Atlas of Elissar" that gave links (maybe even on a map) to all the info already published about this world. There are quite a few adventures (besides the "To Save a Kingdom" trilogy) in En5ider and every now and then I think I've...

    Level Up (A5E) Various Artificer questions and thoughts

    As I continue playing a GPG Artificer there are a few things that I think could be relevant in the future, so why not ask them now: 1. Transfer Enchantment Granted, that's not a question specific to Artificers but if the Artificer doesn't have access to that, who has? The equipment section...

    Level Up (A5E) Mama Bear's Revenge: How did your players solve it (or not)?

    I've run Mama Bear's Revenge as an intro adventure in our rpg club 5 times now (the last three times were a friday to sunday "one run per day") and it seems like it never was the same. All groups consisted to a varying number of the "official" pregens with also varying knowledge of D&D (5e or...

    Level Up (A5E) Additional (maybe changeable) cantrips?

    After lots and lots of new material I am at a loss how to actually use all the new cantrips there. Multiclassing gets you only so far (and after 2 other classes your general use of magic probably declines) Spell Scrolls are costly (10 gp for a single use of a cantrip will add up fast) The only...

    Level Up (A5E) LevelUp the D&D Movie [Spoilers]

    I watched the movie yesterday and my little rules brain is still trying to figure things out (that probably contradicted the rules because of practical or financial reasons)... Needless to say... Spoilers abound and if you figured something out (or need hel doing so) feel free to join in...

    Level Up (A5E) Essential A5E for Quickstart?

    While trying to compile enough of the rules for a new player in a new campaign who doesn't understand English well enough to just read the rules I'm thinking about some sort of Quickstart that highlights A5E while still keeping slim enough to not overwhelm completely new players (who may not...

    Level Up (A5E) Which electronic version of character storage/sheet do you use for A5E characters?

    As I am now responsible for almost half of the character sheets in a new A5E campaign that I just play in I'm wondering what everyone else is using to keep track of your characters and their sheets? Or is anyone else here only in online games and the site stores the sheets anyway? Edit: What...

    Level Up (A5E) LevelUp in German/deutsch?

    Usually i don't need/want translations from English to German but our new group has a player who really struggles with the English language and could really need German character sheet/cheat sheet/spellcards/... Has anyone here translated anything here already or knows of some project to do so?
