After reading ChameleonX's proposed monk fix, I decided to try my hand at my own Here are my goals for this rework: Lean into the fact that I think Monk's should be hard-hitting skirmishers and not tanks. Make Monk fun and fully functional when focusing solely on Wisdom and Dexterity, rather...

I think most people agree that the monk is a class that’s trying to do too much with too little, but one mistake that many people make in trying to improve the monk is making it tankier, trying to get the class to match up with fighter or barbarian. That’s not what the monk was ever intended to...

Team WotC, The warlock should not lose Pact Magic. The warlock is one of the most interesting, unique, and fun classes to play in 5e specifically because of the trends it bucks in spellcasting. Fans of warlocks really like what makes the class different, and if it has an issue of identity then...

Let's make this quick and cranky. General Shtuff Short rest continues to go the way of the dodo rather than being fixed, but despite proving committed to this decision WotC refuses to completely axe having features recover partially or entirely on a short rest. (This is also despite...

There's a lot of discussion going down with this fairly recent news, and I'm sure a fair amount of you are already tracking this information in other forums or news sites. I still think it's worth stating here: we won! WotC/Hasbro has completely backed down on their plans with the new OGL and...

Don’t give in. Don’t back down. Don’t give WotC an inch. The TTRPG community, to my knowledge, has never been more unified than when WotC made a sneak attack on the OGL 1.0(a), in the process directly attacking 3PP large and small, trying to buy off other parties, and hoping to shove everything...

I recently learned about Scotty DM’s EZD6 system and immediately got excited by the concept, but I’m trying to learn all I can before I take the dive. I’ve trolled through various sites and heard nothing but praise about the system’s simplicity and how well it holds up a session, but when it...

I am working on a very large project for Level Up and am rapidly approaching the point where I need some help. If you have any interest in the following, please DM me: Just taking a look at the playtest material to see if you would have any interest in it Reading playtest material and sharing...

After looking over one of my long-term projects, @xiphumor pointed out that something I'm working on makes an excellent chassis for an AtlA-style elemental bender. Well, obviously I have to take advantage of that... So, if you were to see an AtlA-style bender as an archetype or as its own...

Recent discussion of pets as class features gave me an idea for a synergy feat chain. I give you The Collector! Simply put: Collectors like cool creatures, want to possess them and manipulate them. Collectors are super creepy... Enjoy...

Currently, only the Beastmaster ranger is blessed with an animal companion, and the only class with an equivalent, the Stitcher artificer, uses the 3rd-level Beastmaster ability as a template but with a zombie instead of a wolf or other furry friend. These classes set the precedent for dedicated...

I am having difficulty finding a recommended Item Rarity by Level table (if such a thing exists in A5e) on the tools website. I do not have my books with me at the moment. If someone is away of such a thing, could you share the table or a link? Thanks in advance!

I really liked the idea @Steampunkette had with regards to motif classes. (Original post here.) In addition to general concept really appealing to me, it already fit in with a few projects I had already worked on and was already planning on working on, so I converted them over. Skip past the...

Is it possible to search spells by whether or not they require concentration?

If I’m not mistaken, the Level Up Kickstarter passed the stretch goals necessary to have a full character creator as part of the SRD. We were told that would take a lot of time, and I honestly don’t expect it for a while longer - however, I am curious if there is any sort of update, even just a...

Here's a sample for a berserker/warlock synergy feat chain that I've been tinkering with: [removed] Short version: 1st Feat (Runespell Rager): Make Eldritch Blast and your pact weapon compatible with Furious Critical and Crushing Blows. (Also, you can mix and match the barbarian and warlock...

Been several posts showcasing the main books—here's one showcasing the GM's Screen. This thing is nice! I already thought the PDF version looked good, but this looks way better. Feels excellent, too—just a little bit of weight, feels like I could throw this thing around and not be afraid of what...

I don’t want to make a deal out of this - I checked to see if I could directly message someone but didn’t find a contact, otherwise I wouldn’t have made a public post. Obviously I’m psyched to have my books - unfortunately, they aren’t in perfect condition. Who do I reach out to about damaged books?

Unfortunately, the group that I was going to play this character with has been extremely inconsistent, so I decided I didn't want to wait any longer before discussing this unique build. At the bare minimum, making the character gave me a lot of thoughts. If you want a more detailed breakdown of...

My favorite materials in any game are materials that inspire me with ideas. Reading through the Scientist archetype, I had one such idea that feels a little more... villainous than the existing archetypes. Given that this is homebrew for a playtest document for a rulebook that is far from being...
