    Level Up (A5E) Warlock Archetype Curse scaling & Herald multiclassing

    That's where the term "pool" comes into play. Temp HP is not a pool and doesn't stack. "Spell" Exertion is a pool a can stack when you spend more spell slots. Otherwise, it's all temporary and I would refer to Temp HP in AG 450 with the "pool" negating paragraph 4 and 5 being mostly irrelevant...

    Level Up (A5E) Warlock Archetype Curse scaling & Herald multiclassing

    Much like temporary hit points, temporary exertion doesn't increase your maximum and shouldn't be restored by the usual means. Converting spell slots doesn't make a new, refillable pool, but provides some bonus "single-use" exertion.

    Level Up (A5E) How is a main-gauche supposed to work?

    So what ax is the Urgosh supposed to function as?

    Level Up (A5E) How is a main-gauche supposed to work?

    Then that is incredibly confusing fluff text. Giving an adjective to a weapon that matches a property the weapon could have in incredibly misleading. A parrying dagger that you can't parry with?

    Level Up (A5E) Seed Bomb & Cobra's Spit Design

    The difference is Magic Stone is technically usable the round it is cast, as a bonus action. It's also not an A5E spell, not even a 2024 spell, it was just the first example I thought of to compare to Seed Bomb. But if you have a Narrator letting you use that spell, it wouldn't be much to ask to...

    Level Up (A5E) How is a main-gauche supposed to work?

    One of the first things I (meant to have) said was I was disregarding the question of a "parrying" dagger as an oversight and assume it was meant to be the dueling dagger, which is a martial weapon and has the parrying property like you mentioned. I was referring to using the shield bash option...

    Level Up (A5E) How is a main-gauche supposed to work?

    I was actually wondering about this recently too. It seems straight forward, but aside from the partying/dueling discrepancy, I think the important question is when that decision is made? At will seems fun, but can definitely cause confusion. Could you bonus action shield bash on your turn...

    Level Up (A5E) Seed Bomb & Cobra's Spit Design

    On topic, Seed Bomb definitely seems like it's meant to work like Magic Stone did, or even Goodberry. To be cast and potentially shared with the rest of the party. Off topic, if you want to see(hear) Seed Bomb used to great effect, the finale of CastParty's TSaDragon playthrough is an amazing...

    Level Up (A5E) How is Bounding Strike combat maneuver supposed to work?

    That's perfectly valid. There's certainly opportunity for the Narrator to control the roll. Blindly bounding toward and enemy, using the jump to make it more effective is the animalistic instinct expected from Tooth and Claw.

    Level Up (A5E) How is Bounding Strike combat maneuver supposed to work?

    Why? Jumping doesn't require sight and the ability check replaces the attack roll.

    Level Up (A5E) How is Bounding Strike combat maneuver supposed to work?

    Looking at the full description, with no caveat of sight, it seems like a great way to beat the blinded condition.

    Level Up (A5E) How is Bounding Strike combat maneuver supposed to work?

    I definitely read it as the 15' being the jump, allowing a low strength long jump, as said, but also a standing long jump without a running start. And making an attack with a jump check can be a great way to add an expertise die or make up for an attack at disadvantage.

    Level Up (A5E) No explanation for what a Reaction is in the AG

    On page 438, it spells out basic action economy, mentioning an action, a bonus action, and free actions on your turn and a reaction at any time. I don't see it get into specifics, like when your reaction returns. Top of a round or turn is a debate I've seen. Opportunity attacks are explained on...

    3PP Release New release: Single-Class Synergy, Volume 1: The Core Four

    I think this "Feat for a Heritage Gift" sounds like an idea for a beefy GPG article, if not a "Special Issue". My take from this is that Paragons would simply become a level 10 feat option? Maybe as part of their own feat chains in some places? As for this name thing I also hope it doesn't...

    3PP Release New release: Single-Class Synergy, Volume 1: The Core Four

    Just spit balling an idea. Single Class Specialization Feats?

    Level Up (A5E) Druids, Great Clubs weapon proficiency or not, and the Shillelagh cantrip

    That's valid. I suppose I should have said the A5E core rules. But the weapon chart in VRC clearly defines which weapons fall in those categories. The core rule weapon chart does not. Next we could try to say a hand crossbow is a "light" crossbow because it weighs less. I agree 2024 handles it...

    Level Up (A5E) Druids, Great Clubs weapon proficiency or not, and the Shillelagh cantrip

    I really believe the weapon lists are much more specific. No where else do the rules group weapons in that fashion. Simple, martial, and rare are the only terms that encompass multiple weapon proficiencies. Polearm Master (O5E) had this same issue that Polearm Savant (A5E) fixed. Without the...

    Level Up (A5E) Do you lose the benefits when you cure Umamish Infection?

    As the mushrooms wither, they would do nothing to enhance the muscles they have intertwined with. A dead parasite integrated with one's nervous system is more likely to cause harm than good. As I see it, curing the disease kills the parasite and the body's own systems would destroy any...

    Level Up (A5E) Do you lose the benefits when you cure Umamish Infection?

    I would definitely say yes. The description of each stage explains how the parasite causes the beneficial properties.When cured, the "infestation withers away" which doesn't sound like it could enhance any ability scores. However, if a permanent poison and disease immunity could be so easily...

    Level Up (A5E) Steel Protector feat - clarity and possible errata

    Answering your question, yes. Picking up the Steel Protector feat at Herald 4 / Fighter 4 (non-casting subclass) does make it unusable for Character level 8. As for being an oversight, it feels like it is. The whole build is a little impractical, 9 is a late level to get extra attack. But also...
