    The Blades Know What You Did In The Dark

    This sounds like a review by someone who has not actually played the game, and if the characters have an easy time, the GM is not following their agenda & principles. Either way, the paragraph concerning clocks is factually wrong ("many of the game's mechanics only activate if there is a clock...

    Psionics: Psion and 211 powers converted from Pathfinder

    I've looked at the powers again. Hope this proofreading is useful.Generally: I knowthis is a conversion, but some of the power names feel off. Some spells justdon't work with the sciencey psionic feel. I haven't mentioned all of them. Idon't know if it's worth changing this (tradeoff: one has no...

    Psionics: Psion and 211 powers converted from Pathfinder

    [/LIST] I wouldn't move it, and I personally (usually) don't allow dipping into flavour-heavy classes like psion anyway, so I don't care all that much. In the end, level 1 or level 2 does not make a huge difference in my book, since for me the game starts at 3 anyway :). [/LIST] Oh, I misread...

    Psionics: Psion and 211 powers converted from Pathfinder

    #1 as an augment sounds good. I would do it as a reaction "when you are subject to any effect", not just damage. I went through the psion document more carefully. Disclaimer: since I really like this approach to the psion, I'm nitpicking in order to make it as good as possible. * Typos in...

    Psionics: Psion and 211 powers converted from Pathfinder

    1) Exhaustion? I had not thought about exhaustion. Maybe you misread my 'exclusion' within the text? I think that since exhaustion can be removed with a 5th-level spell, it's still too much to allow more than one per long rest. So just Powers that you manifest using 13 psi points (9th level) are...

    Psionics: Psion and 211 powers converted from Pathfinder

    Yes, I like the psi points version much better, even if it presents some challenges in presentation! Regarding the high level powers: I think level 6-8 are fine actually, but you really should not be able to manifest 6 9th-level powers in a day, since they are dramatically more powerful than...

    Psionics: Psion and 211 powers converted from Pathfinder

    Ah, I've been waiting for a decent psion conversion for a long time. This looks really good. However, your description of psionics leans very close to spellcasting. How about replacing 'maximum power level' with 'maximum power points spent on a single manifestation' (à la 3.5 psion). That then...

    D&D 5E Advice for ZEITGEIST setting conversion to 5e. Races and technology.

    Well, there were goliaths in the EE supplement, and minotaurs in one of the Unearthed Arcanas. When I personally run 5e ZEITGEIST, I will use dragonborn for half-dragon PCs, aasimar (mildly changed) for Devas, half-orcs for orcs, add goliaths and minotaurs since it's easy, and none of my players...

    Mystery/Conspiracy Guide

    Looking at the Act One compilation currently. It is mentioned on Page 77 (in the campaign guide); the mention at the start of Digging for Lies is present only in the standalone version (page 5); the "Adventure Layout" section seems to be absent in the compilation.

    Mystery/Conspiracy Guide

    In the Campaign guide, and also e.g. at the beginning of Digging for Lies, the presence of a "GM Conspiracy Guide" in each adventure is alluded to, telling GMs which clues the player characters are supposed to discover during the adventure. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Was it omitted or did...
