Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition (A5E) launched in 2021 and is a standalone game which enhances the 5E ruleset which you know and love. If you love 5E but would like a little more depth to the rules, Level Up is the new game for you!
Inside you'll find:
- New conditions like Doomed, Bloodied, and Rattled, new tracked conditions like Fatigue (physical weariness--think Sam carrying Frodo!) and Strife (spiritual weariness--think Frodo carrying the ring!)
-
Combat maneuvers, which are techniques that martial characters can use to make combat more dynamic and fun!
-
World actions, where the environment itself gets a turn each round.
-
Journeys, with rules for journey activities, 6 example exploration challenges (including a corrupted druid grove, dense fog, and a landslide), Supply, resting, and Havens.
- 2 example diseases--Demon Fever and Sewer Plague.
- 5 magic items, including their prices and crafting components.
- A selection of 30 monsters, demonstrating how Level Up makes foes more interesting than bags of hit points, and presents you with a range of tools to bring each to life--Legends & Lore tables, signs of a critter's presence, and behavior.
- Pre-generated Characters
- 5 Poster Maps
- 91 cardboard Tokens for heroes, villains, and monsters
