Level Up (A5E) State of the Archetypes - Jan 6, 23

[xiphumor]

With the release of GPG 11, Berserkers receive their first GPG archetype since GPG 1 (Hopefully we’ll get more than one every ten editions going forward). Meanwhile, Fighters hit the 12 benchmark, and alongside Warlocks are now tied with Marshals for the most GPG archetypes.

The Necromancer, which was released on the website.

Alright, makes sense, thanks, why are archetypes levels different in all classes I wonder

Wow thanks for the info I never saw this release, it is amazing.

That's an artifact of base 5e. A5E did experiment with a normalized schedule for archetypes, but ultimately abandoned it to maintain compatibility with existing published archetypes.

makes sense, have found it strange about 5e as well, but I understand that compatibility is important, it's how I ended up finding Level Up

As much as I would have loved a normalized schedule, I'll admit that being able to port in O5e subclasses so easily was a big reason I switched and why I was able to convince my players to switch.

I'm working toward the point where I can cut the O5e stuff entirely myself, converting any remaining bits to the (IMO) superior Level Up standard.
