Level Up (A5E) Fighter playtest comes this weekend

[Morrus]

On Friday we'll be releasing the playtest document for our fighter class (1-10) and the first three degrees of our martial maneuvers system.

Martial Manuevers? Hell yea!

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

Glad to see the extra ASI feature's gone! Its a great opportunity to give something flavorful to enhance and explore the fighter's theme.

All the new stuff makes me excited just by the names, but the "Martial Lore" sounds interesting too Also note the Knacks & Maneuver level scaling. Wonder what the difference between knacks & maneuvers are.

An exploration knack is an exploration pillar ability. All classes get a choice of some exploration knacks (tailored to the class).

A maneuver is a combat ability. Not all classes get a choice of some maneuvers, but several do.

(At present; the playtest will determine if the format survives!)

Gotta say, this seems more experimental that I anticipated, which is awesome.

Is the idea to make this mostly compatible with 5e, like 5e Fighter archetypes work with Level Up archetypes? The Race stuff looked pretty pug and play with races as a whole.

The entire game is going to be 100% 5E backwards compatible. You can use our Level Up classes and heritages alongside 5E’s classes and races.

Obviously I don't know how you're doing the classes, but from here it looks like you end up with a lot of maneuvers. I have to hope that they're all usable and interesting at all levels and fighters don't end up with a list of abilities they don't use often.

Maneuvers from the get go for all fighters is potentially great.

The name for exploration talents is a kick in the knack-ers.
