My group is considering playing Curse of Strahd with the Level Up 5E rules. Has anyone done this? Our group has played A5E before with the same GM who would be running CoS. I will be a player, but am discussing how the system might work with the GM since I played CoS before but didn't finish...

In the second paragraph under Donning, Doffing, Sizing, and Sleeping in Armor it says, "It is assumed that cloth armor is worn under breastplates and suits of mail." (p. 320 of the Adventurer's Guide) Do these armors come with the cloth armor or does it need to be purchased separately? We are...

Any suggestions for fun PF2 or SF Society adventures that can be run in one sitting without too much of the metaplot? I'll have 4–6 hours for a timeslot at a gaming reunion, and we probably won't play any follow-ups. I'd like to do a level 4 scenario so they have expanded powers. They all have...

When a character is old and they advance a Career in a class that grants a bonus to a physical Attribute, is that advancement point lost or can they give it to something else that makes sense? For example, say a starship captain returns to service after retirement when the Neutral Zone becomes...

Since combat skills like Swords are used for MELEE DEFENSE, could the Telepathy skill be used for MENTAL DEFENSE? Or is this something that might need an Exploit like the Return Trajectories Exploit for Gun Kata martial artists?

One of our players has a Bell Cybernetics RVM58Stingbolt Repulsor Crossbow (Exotic Ranged Weapon from NEW pg. 106) with the Push special quality. I can't seem to find how to resolve the Push ability. Is the distance based on the attack roll or the damage roll or a flat distance? Is it an attack...

Can the Smith from OLD use the Quality Forge exploit to improve an ordinary item made earlier with the Forge exploit, or is each item a discrete object with quality set when first crafted? ' For example, our WOIN Star Wars game has a Mandalorian who wants to take Forge to make Sollustran Battle...

Is there a Heavy Blade with reach? The campaign is starting at 4th level. Any Paizo book is available for use. My concept for the character is a Wheel of Time blade master, using the form names and all. I'm thinking of building a fighter to try the Advanced Armor Training and Advanced Weapon...

When determining your SPEED, are the total of the dice pools limited by the Maximum Dice Pool? For example, with the stats below would the character have a SPEED 6 from the 6d MDP limit or SPEED 8 for the sum of all dice pools. Grade 7 MDP 6d STR 3d6 AGI 4d6 Running 1d6

Are CHI Points equal to the Attribute or the Dice Pool? Action Careers says the Attribute but the Ref Doc says Dice Pool. We aren't sure which is closer to the 1.2 rules used in NEW.

When a character is below 0 and dying, does any healing end the slow countdown or does it need to be done as Emergency First Aid? Is there a way for a character to stabilize on their own? It seems like the slow countdown by itself means the character will likely eventually die if not attended...

Do conditions (NEW p. 173) like Bleeding or Burning ignore SOAK? We're trying to determine if Armor would protect against Burning damage caused by a critical hit from a Phaser. The character would gain Burning but could basically ignore it if Armor SOAK is high enough.

Are there ways to get more than one Reaction or Free Action in a round? We have a Star Knight with Redirect and a Gun Kata Martial Artist with Closedown, both are reactions that can be used once per round. It seems like there are some conversions of d20 Feats in the docs for converting monsters...

Can characters select the same skill twice during one Career grade? For example, when a young Diplomat is advancing a grade as a Guerrilla Fighter she might want to "catch up on" Pistols since it hadn't been selectable for previous careers. It was my thought that one could not do so from NOW...

In EONS 84 p. 1, Advanced Deflection allows the Star Knight to use Redirect without a Laser Sword. Does this mean they can also use Missile Deflection without a Laser Sword or was there an Exploit omitted that allowed for Deflection without the LS? Comparing the NEW Core book p. 48/Rules...

Does Deadly Strike cost a -1d6 attack die to use? The comparison to the standard -2D6 to hit for +1d6 damage is our confusion. Does the restriction to using Exploits once per turn apply or could be Exploit be used twice in a round (once for each of two attack actions)?

The Laser Sword exploit says "Laser sword. You build your own standard quality laser sword. Every time the Star Knight gains a grade, roll 1d6. On a 6, the laser sword increases quality by one category." Is that each time any Career grade is earned or only when the character advances in the...

How does a character without REP as a Career Attribute advance REP? For example, an aspiring Star Knight wants to work up from Apprentice to Master, in the Rules Reference Document it says "Note that to maintain a rank, career selections must keep a character within that organization." How...

We dove into magic use in today's session and I have some questions. The player with the caster is dynamic and clever, and I am not worried about using magic or clever mundane gear to circumvent challenges. But, I am running the game as a test/sample to get the group to try non-d20 stuff and...

We are about to start a WOIN game inspired by the Hellboy and BPRD comics, so anything goes for character generation, but if it is supernatural the PC is the only example of the type. So, there can be only one fish-man, pyrokineticist, man-sized homunculus construct, etc... Each PC is making two...
