This stems from threads discussing how cantrips easily bypass some challenges without much thought/effort. Utility cantrips specifically, not damage cantrips- how to limit them? Number of uses per short rest? Long rest? Say, PB cantrips casts/short rest? Now you have to think about whether...

This came up in the Losing Your Turn thread: How about houseruling disabling conditions like Stunned so that the player can choose to take Fatigue or Strife in exchange for acting? Thoughts? Should it only affect Stunned? What about Paralyzed? Normally there are a couple ways to end Paralyze...

Has anyone tried swapping out wands of 5/7/etc regenerating charges for the old 50 charge wands? I think in the DMG somewhere it does mention "hey do this if you want to." I'm wondering if anyone has, and if so how it's worked and if you've modified anything. Should they still be attunement if...

The "alternative initiative stat" thread got me thinking along this line... it really depends on what you're trying to improve as far as initiative goes- for me, it's getting the party to communicate and strategize at the start of an encounter. I'd love feedback and thoughts! So what if you...

I already shared this elsewhere, but Kobold Press' GMG table of contents actually got me a little excited- I'm overall positive on TotV, but I primarily use A5E. KP put a preview up on DTRPG, I'll share the preview ToC here since that's what initially got me interested in the book. I think I'm...

For those of you that use A5E's followers, what are your best practices for making them be used and useful? Actually remembered? I've used followers/companions/retainers etc. in many games- I think their most successful implementation in my games was using MCDM Strongholds & Followers'...

When these different sources have different wordings/contradictory information, which trumps which? I imagine this is a question for @Morrus ? Or whoever's doing the SRD? There are wording differences in rules, such as Dash: A5e.tools: When you take the Dash action, you can use your action to...

Ok, so like the title says, Stun sucks. It especially sucks for players- sorry, you don't get a turn- guess you should've passed that save against Mind Blast! It's sucked in previous editions too, and in other systems I love like 13th Age. Sure there's still Paralyze, but usually something can...

I could use some help with Destinies. It's become clear to my players (and myself) that the Excellence feature will grant Inspiration most reliably/frequently; nat 1's come up at least once per session or possibly more. Most of the other destinies are much more vague or difficult to get...

How's your experience been with the various A5E classes? I've been running several weekly games of a5e for months; my players, some of which overlap multiple games, feel that some classes are MUCH more powerful than their 5e counterparts, whereas others are weaker. They've had mixed...

The village of Orlane was prosperous, exporting some of the finest wine in the contentious nation of Illdenstern. You've received word from someone that lives there, someone close to you, that things are not right in Orlane. A curse has befallen the village: some people are acting strangely...
