5e Conversion Guide for Dragon Age
So! YEARS ago my friends and I decided we wanted to play the Dragon Age TTRPG, which uses the AGE system, a 3d6 base system instead of based around a d20. Its cool, but has, some faults. In the end we wanted to play in 5e, and some things donāt translate super obviously. So I decided to take some time and build a guide for my players on how we were gonna do this thing. We did it and it has worked pretty well so far so here it is:Ā https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/ByGmBB7pl
Some notes on my conversion: I made Abominations, Blood Magic, Templars, and Grey Wardens into feats rather than subclasses or backgrounds or what have you. The reason is that I wanted character, at any point, to be able to become things like, an abomination, a warden, a templar, etc. I wanted it to be possible to have rogue templars, monk wardens, literally just whatever you want.Ā
I also cut out some spells from my game. Obviously if you want to use this buildĀ thatās up to you but some teleportation and conjuration spells and WISH and the like are kinda lore breaking IMO so in my game theyāre out mostly (mostly).Ā This PDF also includes my Homebrew for the Reaver subclass of barbarians. Itās based heavily on how the Reavers function in DAI and is very fun to play! I hope at least one of you out there builds a reaver because goddamn theyāre great.Ā Finally, if any of you try this out and like it, or find problems with it, please let me know! Iām just messing around here and Iāve made plenty of changes over the years.Ā
