    Level Up (A5E) Thoughts on Eldritch Blast options for Warlock

    Hi folks, I've been looking at the Warlock class for a few weeks, and I'm going to share some of my thoughts about the Eldritch Blast options for Warlock to invite some feedback and for others to share their opinions too. The A5E Warlock has some significant differences vs. the 5E D&D Warlock's...

    Level Up (A5E) Do material spell components always require a free hand in A5E?

    If I understand correctly, A5E has omitted the 5E D&D techniques to get around material components requiring a free hand (to be clear, this is not a critique of A5E): You must have a free hand for material components; or you must be hold your spellcasting focus or be able to touch your...

    Level Up (A5E) Any additional Eldritch Invocations outside of the Adventurer's Guide?

    Have any additional Eldritch Invocations for A5E been published outside of the Adventurer's Guide? Looking at Warlock | Level Up, I just see the Adventurer's Guide invocations listed. I would assume that the Warlock invocations in 5E D&D are fairly compatible for the most part, but where they...

    Cairo 1814

    I will be running a short Nephilim-style d20 campaign set in Cairo in 1814 C.E. I'm looking for online maps, newspapers, personages and so forth from around that time. I've been using Google and Wikipedia a fair bit, but I'm also looking for any roleplaying products that might have useful source...

    nonlethal sneak attack + power attack

    So you can get nonlethal sneak attack damage when using a sap, but a sap is a light weapon, which you can't power attack with. Are there any weapons or ways of doing nonlethal damage, getting your sneak attack damage, and using power attack? It is possible just to get the power attack by taking...

    non-core base classes with trapfinding?

    Which non-core base classes have trapfinding? I'm looking specifically for those published in 3.5E books from Wizards of the Coast.

    Rogue/Psion synergy and builds

    Hey folks, Anyone got any Rogue/Psion type builds they would care to share? As INT is a Psion's primary ability, it would seem the classes should have good synergy. I'm curious if the Psion spells are more useful to a Rogue than a Wizards. In particular, an obvious benefit of Psion should be...

    Rogue/Wizard: How to make spells silent?

    Hey folks, You're hidden and want to stay that way, while casting some spells. Maybe the spells are buffing for combat, and maybe they're not (e.g. could be Detect Magic, Knock, etc.). How do you ensure things are quiet? Silent Spell works, but your spells have to be memorized at one level...

    Is formatting of OGL content copyright?

    Simple example: suppose I want to contribute table 4-2 (Class Skills/Cross-Class Skills), or table 4-5 (Skill Synergies) to Sage's SRD. Is that allowed under the OGL license? The skill synergies and class skills for the core classes are all listed in the SRD. Can we make tables of them? Can...

    Alternate ability system

    Hi folks, I've been thinking about an alternate ability system. My aim is to make all of the abilities roughly equal, rather than say Strength being the best for a warrior character. I want to discourage Charisma (Charm in this proposal) from being a dump stat. A +2 increase in an attribute...

    Is Skill Mastery good? When can you take 10 normally?

    How good is Skill Mastery and which skills is it most useful for? And is my interpretation of when you can take 10 correct? My thoughts: If you need to make multiple rolls with a skill, that you can't take 10 on, Skill Mastery becomes very helpful. In 3.5, using Tumble to get past multiple...

    Duelist variant

    Hey folks, I wanted to ponder some changes to Duelist to make it more viable for a weapon/shield/no armor guy. Here's what I came up with. Let me know if you think it is balanced, what should be changed, etc. Thanks, Tess. --- Dodgy Duelist Prerequisites (same): BAB +6, Perform rank 3...
