Level Up (A5E) Every Archetype in A5e AND 3PP

[Steampunkette]

455 when Martial Artistry is added to the list!

EDIT: Upcoming archetypes AND classes from Martial Artistry (Steampunkette) added!

 

[foxblade]

So, soon, we will have (at least) 455 archetypes spread over 30 classes in A5e

on average, that's just over 15 archetypes per class.

WILD.

Amazing! The Level Up community is a real contender in 3pp. This makes me happy.

It's why a5e is my goto. The 3rd party community is SO good

This list is amazing, Thankyou!

Question, when a 3rd party product is published is the design space then considered filled filled by the A5e team?

The same would apply to 5e subclasses that were never ported over.
As a specific example I note A5e has no tertiary caster subclass for the fighter while 5e has eldritch knight and purple Martin has the arcane show off.

Hey folks, an update and introduction: This is Grant; I am taking over this spreadsheet from xiphumor by request and will be working on updating it to current over the next couple of days. I am looking forward to contributing to this and hopefully you all continue to get some good use out of this resource!

Can confirm! I’ve loved being the data guy for the last few years, but I have other priorities I need to focus on now, and Grant is a worthy successor!

I would say no. The EN team does its own thing and so do the 3rd party folks. For a quick example, there are two distinct takes on the necromancer (one from Ace's and the EN one); both of them do different things and there is usually plenty of room for different takes even in an archetype that feels shares a theme.

The GPG explicitly tries not to cover ground covered by O5e. The 3PP community is much more open to conversions of this sort (e.g. Heroes Old and New). EN Publishing wants to be able to distinguish itself from O5e, while the 3PP community wants to fill in the gaps, so it’s a complementary situation!

As for 3rd party stuff filling the official A5e roster, it’s not an official policy, but the official design team has a lot of overlap with the 3PP community, which is pretty small to start with, so we all generally know what someone else has already covered and try to focus on bringing truly new things to the game.
