Sure, in 2E, all Dark Sun PC's had a wild talent. However, there is no reason to assume the same will be the case for a 5e version of Dark Sun, to where PCs could not select a Core Origin feat. I would anticipate that it would be a common option, though!

Well, yeah, the entire game is about magic. But some people want psionics to be something that works just like magic but isn't magic. shrug. But if psionics are a huge power system with monsters and items to support it, the game would need to have psionics built into the very fabric of the core...

A psionics fan can justify any power as psionic because there are so many different fictions that portray it as such. Even creating matter and energy out of thin air, or spirit/soul stuff and outer planar/afterlife traveling. Because psionics is just magic seen through a different filter...

Psionics in fiction is effectively what magic is in that particular fiction, and is the nature of the supernatural in that world. Most fictional universes don't have both, or are a kitchen sink universe (Superheroes, Rifts, etc.). Some people want only tele-powers. Many want kinetic powers...

Yep. You don't need a DDB account. Go to the main page. Go to the Sources dropdown, and select Unearthed Arcana. UA's are undeveloped playtest content, and are therefore not in the compendium or character builder.

Hunter's Mark with Concentration is fine, power-wise. The complaint is that people want to be able to benefit from Hunter's Mark while they are concentrating on other spells. But they don't need that. There are enough free castings of Hunter's Mark that it can be dropped to cast a different...

First, Baker's Boy is a background. Second, the Zero-to-Hero trope works with ANY existing class. The only thing that it doesn't reflect is the character being worthless at level 1 compared to other level 1 peers. But let's fiddle with the idea of a character that comes from a divine-favored...

It sounds like you're talking about an Background, NPC hireling, or level 0 or 1 character. What does a level 5, 10, 15, 20 GEC character look like? I'm curious what this looks like to you. Do you want a character that instead of identifying with an existing class identity with specialized...

What if the Flying Broom is "reskinned" as a hoverboard-like object, but is mechanically the same? Would it be the most popular Uncommon magic item in the game?

There are so many planes. They need some context and insights on ways to use each of them, as an adventure might need. If Celestials are things you can fight, and they come from the Upper Planes, I want to know the basics of each of those Goodly Upper Planes, for inspiration purposes. Did the...

I think there may be some blending of D&D mythology and Earth mythology that is confusing things. If your "D&D-Zeus" is CG, then that is not the same evil, selfish "Greek-Zeus" who did bad things to people against their will. Earth mythology and afterlives aren't "Aligned" in the same way as...

I would argue that murderous warmongers and pillagers don't go to a Good-aligned afterlife. If people think that conquering humans from centuries ago were "Good", I have ocean-front property in Anauroch to sell you. In D&D, the afterlives aren't based on cultures. It's based on the ethics and...

In my campaigns, the upper planes are not all "Peaceful" they are "aligned" and lots of emotions are possible. Every alignment has people who engage in combat. It does not need to be evil or to the death. The Upper Planes can have regions where people can test their mettle in non-lethal ways...

To be honest, I get elves being fey. It's fine for Charm Person not to work on them, but what other "humanoid"-targeting spells would they get to ignore? Is there more than Hold Person and Dominate Person? In my home campaign, any humanoid who is born in the Feywild, or lives in the Feywild too...

I dunno, man. D&D has 50 years of instilling new definitions and descriptions over old concepts. D&D has become more mainstream in the public consciousness. For instance, there are many different mythological ways to describe or name the same kinds of "fey" of Europe, but in D&D they all get...
