The Wild Beyond the Witchlight is D&D's next big adventure storyline that brings the wicked whimsy of the Feywild to fifth edition for the first time.

The recent Unearthed Arcana, Folk of the Feywild, contained the fairy, hobgoblin of the Feywild, owlfolk, and rabbitfolk. UA is usually a good preview of what's in upcoming D&D books.

Curriculum of Chaos is an upcoming D&D release set in the Magic: The Gathering world of Strixhaven -- a brand new MtG set only just launched.

Strixhaven is a school of mages on the plane of Arcavios, an elite university with five rival colleges founded by dragons: Silverquill (eloquence), Prismari (elemental arts), Witherbloom (life and death), Lorehold (archaeomancy), and Quandrix (numeromancy). You can read more about the M:tG set here.

You will be able to tune into WotC's streamed event D&D Live on July 16 and 17 for details on both, including new character options, monsters, mechanics, story hooks, and more!

[Remathilis]

There should be a Holy Warrior class, that has a sub-class for each alignment, with the Paladin just the LG sub-class.

Well that won't work; they're getting rid of alignment!

(Now we have all the hot-button debates in one thread)

What is measure is standard fantasy? D&D has had Psionics and sci-fi in its standard fantasy settings from nigh the very beginning.

True. But there are other options for names that feel more "appropriate".

 

[Yaarel]

Yes, but psionics is twice removed from that. It is a very modern term and involves things, like electronics, that simply don't exist in a standard fantasy setting.

Today, people might think Greek sounds scientific, but in a reallife Medieval setting, Greek sounds sacred, for religion and for philosophers.

The Greek word "oun", as in Psi-on, means ‘moving’, literally using ones sense of self to move something.



Note, Freud used the Greek term psukhe for the term "psychology". So we connote the term with the mind. But the Greek term really doesnt mean mind. Freud intentionally used a word that was "unconscious".

Psukhe specifically means, "self", in the way an animal has a sense of self.

Relating to respiration, it is also accurate to translate psukhe as lifeforce, chi, and ki, and similar ancient terminology.

Are there hints in the black dice society?

Honestly, I'd be fine with the class being called the Psukhe. But psionics will always sound wrong to my ears. Perhaps it was due to all the New Agey art in the 2e Psionics Handbook, which was my first exposure to D&D psychic powers.

Did someone mention the Warlord?

Fair enough.

"Psion" has grown on me as a D&Dism.

But I wouldnt cry if they dropped the term "psionics".

... Heh. And every time I hear the term "psionicist", I shudder.



Huh. In fact. I would be super-happy if they renamed "psionics" and called it "ki".

Ki and psukhe are comparable ancient concepts, and can be used to translate each other.

Are there hints in the black dice society?

Googling, they went to Isolde's Carnival in the second episode
