[QUOTE="Kryx, post: 6897217, member: 6670944"] [B]Psionics![/B] I finally decided to bite the bullet and convert psionics to 5e. After a month of work converting powers and the Psion class I am at a state that is ready to receive feedback. For those of you who don't know psionics is a system similar to magic that has existed since the beginnings of D&D. It has yet to make much impact in 5e (besides the UA article). Psionics, in its simplest form, is harnessing the power of the mind and using it to perform tasks, feats, and awe-inspiring acts. It is the act of using the mental power innate in a psionic character to perform actions that others deem impossible. While all characters have the capacity to harness this power of the mind, it is only by tapping into this potential that psionic characters are created. A psionic character has learned to tap into and utilize this internal energy, using it to expand their abilities or even to learn more about themselves. Once a psionic character has learned this pathway of psionics, it often becomes a path they cannot help themselves from further exploring. Like a moth drawn to a flame, so too is the mind drawn to the power of psionics once it has learned to tap into it. I created [B][URL="http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/rJsNEQ4j"]Kryx's Psion[/URL][/B] and [B][URL="http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/S1pzOtEs"]Kryx's Psionic Powers[/URL][/B].

Future plans: After the psionic system, powers, and psion has received some feedback I plan to create the Psychic Warrior which will likely be a Fighter archetype similar to Eldritch Knight. Then a rogue archetype similar to Arcane Trickster and then maybe the vitalist most likely as it's own class. [Sblock="About Me"]I've cataloged, and quantified D&D 5e through several projects: [URL="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1d-9xDdath8kX_v7Rpts9JFIJwIG3X0-dDUtfax14NT0/edit#gid=508652177"]DPR of Classes[/URL], [URL="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17ZeFuwQVvb9DsMseUU8Pb0KxDU7sizhmebp-U7FuzLY/edit#gid=1042389492"]Saving Throw Quantification and fixes[/URL], [URL="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N4QC6EmXE0avgk8jK1aubJcaFoZDYw8b_DuPHh8aBTc/edit#gid=639488216"]Spell Balance[/URL], [URL="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJAnGX7qgsPqpXv3h76QGGn5vmPgjU1bCzU-7kgBjvw/edit#gid=0"]Caster Comparison[/URL], and I'm sure a few others.
