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...

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...

The A5e spell has different wording from the O5e spell in such a way that makes me curious if you don't actually have to pick a new heritage. Specifically, it says, "You return the target to life, provided the target’s soul is willing and able to return to its body. If you only have a piece of...

I suspect this is just an oversight, but the Darkmantle's Crush ability says that "the target is grappled" and "The darkmantle’s speed becomes 0, and it moves with its target." However, the grappled condition sets would set the target's speed to 0, too. So neither of them move. In our game, we...

I understand, from this thread, that alignment is deemed to be less important for PCs than destiny, but many destinies (or other features) still give an alignment and nowhere in any of the books, as far as I can tell, does it describe what the options are for alignment or what happens if you are...

Finally getting around to properly creating a character in preparation for my first A5e game, but I am finding some things are... less than clear. At the moment, I am trying to figure out what I am intended to do with passive checks. In the AG, it says: "To determine a character’s total for a...

From today's Wizards Presents, Chris Perkins says: "For example, characters currently receive additional Ability score points based on their lineage or species - however, these increases are now tied to their Backgrounds in the updated ruleset, and every Background now also provides a Feat...

When you fulfill your Devotion destiny, it says, "...the first time you are revived in this way, you gain a +1 bonus on all future attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws." There is no provided expiration for this feature, which implies that you only get the +1 once (as opposed to an...

We're nearing the end of our O5e campaign, so the DM is starting to throw all kinds of fun at us and we got to wondering whether or not metamagic could be applied to spells cast from a Staff of Power. All the wording of metamagic and sorcery points seems to imply that it should only apply to...

And I don't just mean the obvious, which is to give us cool new options every month. What I mean is, is it supposed to be sort of like Unearthed Arcana where we get some mostly finished new material every month that will eventually be collected into proper sourcebooks or are they intended to be...

The basics of the artificer class are actually pretty great and I think I have given off the wrong impression when I say I was disappointed in it, so I wanted to put my money where my mouth is and offer a handful of improvements to the class for your consideration. These address a few key areas...

I'm guessing work hasn't even really started on these yet, so this is probably more of a suggestion than a question, but given that one of the selling points of LU is that it works with other 5e content, will there be some way of entering in homebrew for the official character builder and/or VTT...

It just seems rather off to me. I've been creating a holy champion and that gives me access to the good spell list. There are only 4 spells on that list; 2 of them are already Herald spells and 1 of them is too high of a level for me to ever cast, so I only actually get 1 additional spell...

I like that the class spell lists are with the classes, but there don't seem to be lists anywhere for all the other spell lists. Like I am creating a herald and he gets access to the good spell list, but as far as I can tell, there are only a handful of those and the only way to find out which...

I know that's how it is in O5e, but in that case, there are a few classes that get additional increases (fighters, for example). In A5e, as far as I can tell everyone gets increases at the same rate, so they don't really seem to have any reason to be tied to your class levels. When it comes to...
