I'm going to be starting a game in just two weeks for people who have no prior experience with LU--just with 5e. I'm going to put together a cheat sheet of some differences and some of the new rules for them. Other than the additional actions and the basic maneuvers, things do you think should be on this cheat sheet?

Edit: They've already made their characters, so they know about expertise dice and other things that go into chargen.

There's a cheat sheet floating around but it's more like .. 4 pages. Would love to see what you come up with!

I just found that one. I'm just including the new actions, conditions, etc., instead of including everything that was also in 5e.

Big things that get routinely forgotten in my games:

The parrying weapon property.
Fatigue from falling unconscious.
The various abilities to mitigate critical hits, including taking fatigue or sacrificing a shield.

Hit the deck (dropping prone as a reaction when attacked by a ranged attack)

Is that from Level Up?

Yeah, it's in there... somewhere. I can't find the exact page again, but I know I saw it.

TIL. "hit the deck" sounds like a combat maneuver but you can drop prone as a reaction, look at that!
