    Level Up Advanced 5e (Overview and Bugs)

    The Adventure Guide for Level Up Advanced 5e is now available in the store https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store...d=ENP5ELUA5EAG

    The adventure guide comes with an extension which will automatically be downloaded and installed with your purchase. Make sure that when starting a Level Up campaign that you enable the extension; otherwise most of the features will not work. Note that although it claims to be 5e compatible I would not recommend that you try to mix and match a normal 5e campaign with a level up one. There are considerable differences which makes things 'interesting'.

    In order to help you get started here a couple of videos:

    Video One: Level Up Campaign Guide Overview
    Video Two: Character Creation

    If you see any issues or bugs please report them here.

    How broken are 5e monsters? Asking because I am considering getting Kobold Press's Bundle of Beasts.

    I don’t understand the question. What has the purchase of a kobold press module got to do with Level Up?

    Sorry, I'm bought Level Up, so I was just wondering how broke 5e monsters in general are if, say, I were to load either the 5e Monster Manual or a kobold press module.

    Nothing is broken.

    Level up changes many of the 5e mechanics and introduces new ones. The monsters in Level Up are the same as in 5e along with many new ones, but almost everything is revised or changed. This includes stats, hit points, AC, resistances and abilities. Monsters from Level Up’s Monstrous Menagerie are completely different from the normal 5e monsters found in the 5e monster manual. However you can still use monsters from any other module in Level Up. You may have to maybe beef some of them up a bit since I suspect PC’s will be a bit more powerful in Level Up since they have a lot more abilities than they do in 5e.

    My comment above is more directed at character creation. I don’t think that you could play with a mixed party of characters some being created under the 5e rules and some being created under the level up rules. The expertise mechanic alone probably throws that rather askew as well as the completely different way Level Up handles race and background.

    But if you are creating a 5e campaign, the level up would show in the module load window if you wanted to have it as options for players along with the WoTC sources?

    If you have enabled the extension, yes.

    If you haven't enabled the extension and have not changed the default sharing value of the Campaign Guide players will be able to select it and load it from module activation but a lot of stuff won't work.

    So you will need to load the extension if you want players to have access to the level up adventure guide and be able to create characters.

    If you create a new Adept, the skill selection gives you a strange combined skill between Religion and Stealth:

    A missing comma is to blame. I'll get that fixed.

    Hi! Kudos on releasing Level Up for FG! It was a nice post-holiday (in my country) surprise. Thank you very much!

    One thing I noted in the Destiny section, the "Chaos" Destiny is spelled as "Choas", my OCD couldn't let that slip LOL. For any other hiccup, I'll be on the lookout! Thanks!
