The first three images are the Macabre, quasi-undead humanoids. The fourth image is of both a male and female Drek. Children of forgotten gods killed by their own creations in a bygone era.09 Jan 2025 05:03 +0000at://did:plc:yr7cziegzc355hadshet47zh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfbvntajdc22https://bsky.app/profile/steampunkette.bsky.social/post/3lewwp5g52c2nSo Mike Mearls is talking about getting rid of Bonus Actions as a core principle because they don't "Limit Multiclass Ability" which... weird reason, to me. But I've been thinking about it and talking to posters on the ENWorld forums and I think there is a way to do it and still have some impact.04 Jan 2025 20:23 +0000at://did:plc:yr7cziegzc355hadshet47zh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lewwp5g52c2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/steampunkette.bsky.social/post/3ld26s5frus22Decided to make the Esper Class and Powers free for anyone to use in their A5e or 5e compatible games. So if you want a copy, here you go! https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/505296/paranormal-power-the-esper-class-and-powers11 Dec 2024 16:35 +0000at://did:plc:yr7cziegzc355hadshet47zh/app.bsky.feed.post/3ld26s5frus22https://bsky.app/profile/steampunkette.bsky.social/post/3lcxmpixvik2sYou know, I think it's time for the Warcaster. The Warcaster is a cantrip-focused casting class which gets more traditional "Spells" as limited-use exploration and social mechanics rather as core combat functionality. This allows me to play with one of A5e's basic tenets. Maneuvers use Weapons.10 Dec 2024 16:06 +0000at://did:plc:yr7cziegzc355hadshet47zh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcxmpixvik2shttps://bsky.app/profile/steampunkette.bsky.social/post/3lc3rbkbdvc2qSo let's talk about the third new class in Martial Artistry: The Sentinel! The Sentinel is a 'Pet' class which plays around with the action economy by providing the players with a companion character NPC to protect and to provide support! Why have a wolf companion when you can have a squire?29 Nov 2024 14:13 +0000at://did:plc:yr7cziegzc355hadshet47zh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lc3rbkbdvc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/steampunkette.bsky.social/post/3lbvoja4rfc2iConcept art for the Bactosapien and Loqren 77 heritages.27 Nov 2024 04:08 +0000at://did:plc:yr7cziegzc355hadshet47zh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbvoja4rfc2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/steampunkette.bsky.social/post/3lbsiedbm5s2oJust coined a new and very southern aphorism on the EN World forums! Arguing with a bigot is like grabbing handfuls of applesauce in a hurricane: you're never going to accomplish anything useful and you're putting yourself in danger.25 Nov 2024 21:40 +0000at://did:plc:yr7cziegzc355hadshet47zh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbsiedbm5s2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/steampunkette.bsky.social/post/3lbmy2ncab22aOh, look!

Rather than take the traditional "Guns do way more damage" approach I went for slightly weaker guns and kind of made Gunslingers into a type of ranged Adept/Monk.

For this class I wanted to play with battlefield control as a mechanic and sort of built off of 4e's Marking mechanics for fighters. I also tied them to the principle of fealty, rather than oaths, and gave them noble causes to uphold!18 Nov 2024 12:15 +0000at://did:plc:yr7cziegzc355hadshet47zh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb7vkgtdis2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/steampunkette.bsky.social/post/3lb47dfvubp2bNew banner up. It's a small inset of the cover of my next book, Martial Artistry. In addition to four new base classes for A5e, each with 4 archetypes, it's got a ton of martial traditions, a simple mass combat system, advice on running battlefields as dungeons, and four new heritages!17 Nov 2024 01:00 +0000at://did:plc:yr7cziegzc355hadshet47zh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb47dfvubp2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/steampunkette.bsky.social/post/3lb3y5zsrih2bLet's start with some introductions. I'm Rachel. I'm a nerd. I'm a big fan of TTRPGs, and I'm a designer for A5e. I've done official work for EN Publishing, 3rd Party Publishing for Purple Martin Games and others, and released a book of my own. I'm in my 40s, trans, white, and neurospicy. So, Hi!16 Nov 2024 22:51 +0000at://did:plc:yr7cziegzc355hadshet47zh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb3y5zsrih2b
