    Level Up (A5E) Bard's art specialty and Tearful Sonnet

    This is really two questions, but it originally came up because our healer cleric is about to get access to Tearful Sonnet, which he is pretty grumpy about (but that's a different matter). In that spell, it says: "You cannot cast another spell through your spellcasting focus while concentrating...

    Voidrunner Here It Comes... The Voidrunner's Codex: A5E in SPACE!

    They've talked about it before, this is a standalone game that is compatible with A5e, but otherwise does not require anything else (unless I am mistaken). Yes, except without any fantasy elements like magic (I haven't played Starfinder so if they also don't have magic, my bad). Strictly...

    Level Up (A5E) Why is non-magical flying so limited for PCs?

    That has been my point all along, just let people fly if they want to and if you as a GM have some reservations, I also provided some suggestions for ways to deal with them. I do not think flight should be nerfed, quite the opposite. It's already nerfed and should be un-nerfed.

    Level Up (A5E) Why is non-magical flying so limited for PCs?

    Yes, I meant planetar. It was late, my bad. I get very frustrated with the anti-PC flight people because the restrictions they want to impose are so punishing as to make me not even want to bother, which just feels like... why? Have you actually let players just have flight without those...

    Level Up (A5E) Why is non-magical flying so limited for PCs?

    You criticize me for punishing the player's fun, but these are far, far more anti-fun than anything I've proposed. There are certainly some logical restrictions to be had regarding carrying capacity and what not, but in a game where planars exist, limiting size makes no sense. Instead, you could...

    Level Up (A5E) Why is non-magical flying so limited for PCs?

    I honestly don't see any of those as issues. Most traps are in dungeons, dungeons have low ceilings, can't fly if the ceilings are low. Or add a trip wire trap overhead so if someone tries to fly/jump over it, they get a net. The solutions to these "problems" are so simple I really do not...

    Level Up (A5E) Why is non-magical flying so limited for PCs?

    People are weirdly opposed to flight in D&D generally, I find, but only when players can do it. Monsters are fine, but when players get to have the same boon, suddenly the world is ending. It certainly can trivialize many things, but as others have said, only if the GM fails to take it into...

    Level Up (A5E) Dream spell vs elves

    I don't remember why I started thinking of it this way, but I like to think that long ago, some elves got a little too crazy with their dreams and now the entire heritage is like nah, that was too weird, let's just never sleep again so the Eldritch horrors can't get us. So yes, they can sleep...

    3PP Release Would you buy archetypes for 3rd party classes?

    I don't think I know of any 3PP releases that have been purely for monetary gain, at least for A5e. Yes, the publishers do get money for them, but in most cases I imagine (based on my wife's experience) that it's barely enough to justify having released it at all. Usually they are done because...

    Level Up (A5E) Can you use a bonus action when surprised?

    The thing is, it's specifically called out in o5e, at least, that you cannot use a bonus action as an action, which would suggest that it is not, in fact, an action. I order to use a bonus action, you must have a bonus action available, not an action. So I would argue the opposite, that it's a...

    Level Up (A5E) Issues with changes to Reach property

    Yeah, I saw that. Definitely adds to the confusion. We intend on just using the o5e meaning of reach as it makes the most sense, but maybe there's something I'm missing.

    Level Up (A5E) Issues with changes to Reach property

    I never really looked at what the reach weapon property does because I assumed it was the same as it always has been, but it isn't. For some reason or another, it was changed for A5e to this: Reach. This weapon can be used to make attacks against targets within 10 feet. If a weapon has a longer...

    Blog (A5E) A5ESRD: Core Rulebooks Now All Completed Making Biggest Open 5E SRD Available

    Is there a plan to eventually include content from Adventures in Zeitgeist? I imagine the setting itself won't end up in the SRD, but there are some heritages and other player options that would be nice to have.

    Level Up (A5E) A5E and O5E 3PP Adventures

    In general, as Morrus said, the power levels are meant to be balanced even between O5e and A5e, so there shouldn't be any issues. However, 3PP stuff may or may not attempt to align themselves with the same ideas of balance, so YMMV. But if you find that most people say a particular 3PP adventure...

    Level Up (A5E) Maneuvers Again: RAW, RAI and Reasonable Rulings

    I also can't find a specific ruling, but I would say that it simply works like this: when you use a maneuver, you do whatever it says you do as part of the maneuver. This is an important distinction for a few reasons. First, you are using a maneuver, not an attack action, so the maneuver...

    Level Up (A5E) Thoughts on A5E classes from your table(s)?

    IMO, the classes should be compared to each other and not to o5e. O5e has a lot of balance problems and many of those were addressed with A5e, so I expect many players who liked to take advantage of broken options will be disappointed to find they actually have to try now. As a player, I have...

    Level Up (A5E) O5E Banishment Spell vs A5e

    I already made edits to correct some mistakes, but you can't just add "doesn't" in there to adjust the meaning. As written, there are a couple implications that are valid interpretations. 1) There is no indication as to what happens if the spell does not end early and the creature is not native...

    Level Up (A5E) O5E Banishment Spell vs A5e

    It doesn't. Upcasting increases the duration, which has no affect on someone native to a different plane as they are just banished outright, or at least I could see that argument being made given how the spell is written. For example: "If the spell ends before its maximum duration, the target...
