Level Up v2 Changelog
The following list of changes refer to the beta version of Level Up PDFs sent to Kickstarter backers on Nov 5th 2021.
Previewing Adventures in ZEITGEIST
Adventures in ZEITGEIST is a hardcover setting book coming in 2022. It details the ZEITGEIST world, along with a whole slew of heritages, cultures, backgrounds, equipment, archetypes, the new Savant class, and so much more.
We Did It! The Kickstarter Is Over!
We did it! We funded, we smashed through the stretch goals, and we're one of the biggest TTRPG Kickstarters ever to fund without including miniatures!
Actions in Combat
In Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition, we've tweaked combat to give it a little more variety.
So, what’s ZEITGEIST?
A number of people have asked for more information about the ZEITGEIST setting and the Gears of Revolution adventure path.
A Question of Culture & Destiny
As you may know by now, a Level Up character’s origin is comprised of heritage, culture, background, and destiny. We’ve covered heritages and backgrounds in detail recently, so now it’s time to look at the other two pieces of that puzzle.
Dragons in Level Up
The Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition Monstrous Menagerie has dragons–lots of dragons. With 85 pages of true dragons (about 90 stat blocks and variants) and 15 more pages of dragon turtles, sea serpents, and so on, we have a full source book’s worth of draconic friends and foes.
Monsters By Challenge Rating
The back of the Monstrous Menagerie contains a handy list of all the creatures and NPCs within sorted by CR.
Spellcasting Monsters in Level Up
One of our goals with the Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition Monstrous Menagerie was to make enemy spellcasters less of a pain to run.

Keeping it Classy: Updated Core Classes in Level Up
Several of the classes got a more extensive combat pillar overhaul than the others, though, and below we’ll be discussing both the changes and what the benefits from those changes will be for your games.
What Are Combat Maneuvers?
In Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition, martial classes get a choice of combat maneuvers. You learn combat maneuvers in a way not dissimilar to spells, and you power them by spending ‘exertion’.
