    Level Up (A5E) Thoughts on readjusting prices for games with less treasure?

    In the Victorian era there was a huge disparity in wealth between the classes. I think you have to add a more realistic monetary system than the basic D&D default. Possibly try something like I have attached. I have included slang terms for various coins influenced by real world uses, as well...

    Level Up (A5E) Thoughts on readjusting prices for games with less treasure?

    I would say just do a full conversion. I did pretty much the same thing and actually changed the monetary system to be loosely based on the old European systems that were carried over from the Roman system. Gold is pretty rare as coin in my world. Various countries use a silver coin based on the...

    Level Up (A5E) Building a Setting: How do Narrators and writers handle ancestries not covered by A5E heritages?

    I shamelessly steal. I have most of the 1e, 2e, 3e and o5e books. I convert the information from the original source into the LU5E format. This is very easily done for heritage, but I may have to get creative with the gifts. This is where I look at existing gifts to ensure I maintain the power...

    Voidrunner Voidrunner playtest character

    This looks great. I spent a few weeks last Summer making a Star Wars to A5E conversion. I used both the SWd6 and d20 systems as a starting point. Was never quite satisfied with it. I think Voidrunner will work much better.

    Level Up (A5E) Need a clarification on devoted assault

    Thank you. I like the Flowing Form example. Not convinced on the rest though.

    Level Up (A5E) Need a clarification on devoted assault

    Can you explain your interpretation here? Because a RAW reading to me does not lead to the same conclusion. Devoted Assault on a crit allows the use of another Tempered Iron maneuver that is activated by an action or bonus action. There is no mention of additional actions similar to other...

    Level Up (A5E) Need a clarification on devoted assault

    I have the same interpretation as Tessarael. I am sure a player might wish for more attacks, but I cannot see that reasoning here.

    Level Up (A5E) Thoughts on Eldritch Blast options for Warlock

    @WanderingMystic Morrus said that the Hex spell was mistakenly missed in the AG, but would be in the errata, hence it is in A5E tools.

    Level Up (A5E) Redirect Maneuver - Can you make the attacker target itself?

    Your game, so do it however you like. Personally I do not believe RAW or RAI would indicate that you may direct the attack back to the attacker. “On a failure, you take no damage and the attack targets another creature within 5 feet.” 1. It says another creature rather than any creature within...

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    I mean why not? Was there an original SRD 5 prior to 5.1? I don’t have the OGL in front of me, but I don’t remember a clause in it regarding authorisation or revocation of the SRD. In fact didn’t SRD’s come out after the OGL?

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    I have a question for the lawyers here. The legality of de-authorising the OGL is in doubt, but what about revoking SRD 5.1? Can they choose to leave OGL 1.0(a) alone, but revoke SRD 5.1 and replace it with an extremely bare bones 5.2 that effectively revokes the OGL?

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    I believe you are correct. This is about dominating the digital market and tying it to subscriptions. They could have achieved that without causing this mess by simply confiding in some of the large 3pp’s and let them spread the message. They did not need to go scorched earth on the OGL to...

    “…Are they gone?” Countering a Delay Tactic from WotC

    Revenue or profits? A big difference there. Particularly the way it is calculated in Hollywood.

    “…Are they gone?” Countering a Delay Tactic from WotC

    The MCU is a giant ad for toys, shirts, mugs, etc. Comics don’t really sell that much anymore.

    Level Up (A5E) de-OGL-ifying Level Up?

    “Praise Bahamut, er I mean Paladine, er I mean that platinum coloured drake in the sky.” In all seriousness, I love the foresight put into this game. I and my players feel this is the best edition to play at our table. Thank you for your efforts.
