    Homebrew Converting WotC spells to A5E

    So in a similar vein to my quest to port third party classes, I figured it'd probably be useful for me to start work on a community Spell compilation based on all the WotC spells that either haven't yet made it into A5E or got dropped due to design changes. Here's a document that will likely...

    Homebrew Regarding converting O5E third party and homebrew classes to A5E

    Good Stuff Best rule of thumb with Blue Traveller (might rename the class to something else when I can think of a decent name for it) is that for the most part it'll only really be as strong as the abilities you throw at it, as a Narrator. Spells up to level 5 will be balanced, even though they...

    Homebrew Regarding converting O5E third party and homebrew classes to A5E

    I've added the changes I listed. I much prefer the short rest limit to the delay in power one. Also means that a Magus might not just blow all their spell slots on spellstrike in one encounter, and encourages them to actually cast spells as well. Plus "your proficiency bonus per short rest"...

    Homebrew Regarding converting O5E third party and homebrew classes to A5E

    My thoughts on this: I think 1 and 2 are in conflict. I made the explicit decision not to allow magus to trade spell slots for exertion (as it already had a resource it could trade for exertion, and it uses spell slots for spellstrike), so I think it becomes a matter between picking whether we...

    Homebrew Regarding converting O5E third party and homebrew classes to A5E

    Thanks. I've been thinking about some of the stuff I added to the Magus actually and upon reflection, past me has been kind of silly. For instance, I was giving it arcane defenses before the wizard gets it, and I accidentally opened up an exploit for multiclass characters by trying to do...

    Homebrew Regarding converting O5E third party and homebrew classes to A5E

    It looks more impressive than it actually is, although I would love to accept the compliment; the kind of work I've engaged here in is highly derivative so far (to the point I've taken specific pains not to change anything unless it looks obviously busted under the new paradigm), and I can only...

    Homebrew Regarding converting O5E third party and homebrew classes to A5E

    Well-caught with the Occultist's feature. I've added some clarifying language to allow occultists to cast Summon Fiend at 5th level with a slight nerf to balance out the earlier availability. I.E., it will allow Occultist Arcanists and only Occultist Arcanists to 'downcast' the spell at 5th...

    Homebrew Regarding converting O5E third party and homebrew classes to A5E

    After some finagling with some resources, I've compiled a list of readily-available homebrew classes that I have tried to convert to A5E: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/p7aGFGjSp-jL Available in the document are Arcanist, Bloodrager, Blue Traveller, Cavalier, Disciple, Guardian...

    Homebrew Regarding converting O5E third party and homebrew classes to A5E

    I'm trying to convert some O5E third-party classes for use with A5E, and it seems like somewhat of a daunting task. Are there any particular design principles I should bear in mind, other than "Martial characters should get access to manoeuvres, and maybe steal a few knacks, arcane secrets or...
