The Mystic (Psion) playtest levels 1-5 were released last month. Has anyone had a chance to roll one up and take it out for a few sessions? It's one thing to theorycraft about them and another to actually play them in a game. I'm really excited for psionics in 5th edition and I want to know...

3 for now. There's no reason to assume they won't be releasing more disciplines for each order, or that as you continue to level past 5 you won't gain access to more of those disciplines. Continuing the progression in the PDF you might have access to 5 disciplines at level 11, and 8...

I like this... It inspires me to expand on some of your ideas. What if we had all powers grouped into 2 categories, STR/DEX/CON and INT/WIS/CHA, Body and Mind. You could choose one or the other to focus on and add your proficiency bonus to checks in that category. I can think of two options...

I know it's unpopular here, but I'm not a big fan of this release schedule. I understand not wanting to flood the player's with content, but they're going too extreme in the opposite direction. Almost a year later and players have nothing but the Player's Handbook to buy and use. The extra...

My vote would be for more player material. All we have so far is the Player's Handbook, which is good, but a second book with some new races, feats, spells, etc... to choose from would motivate my group to actually switch over to 5th edition. We like to have a lot of options to choose from...

This seems like kind of a self-correcting problem. Say player A blows through all of their spell points in battle #1. Then the next 3-5 battles all he can do it use his cantrips. He'll do very little damage and have no variety on his actions. That's not much fun for him, so the next day he...

Thank you. The link in the first reply gave me some info to work from, and thank you for posting said text TarionzCousin. Working from the numbers given, and the Wizard's spell slot progression, I've determined the following info: Each spell slot is worth a certian number of points. WotC...

I was just hoping someone out there would remember "Oh right, that was in this post" or just knows the rules or copied them down then I was hoping they could share that knowledge. I wasn't suggesting you guys comb through hundreds of posts for me.

I read in a post somewhere that the DM guide adds the option of using spell points instead of slots. I did a forum search, but the results turn up posts with dozens of pages and I don't want to go combing through all of them to find it again. I've been playing Psions since 2nd edition, and...

Thanks for the feedback, I do feel a little better about it now. I think one of my DM's objections is that, in order to make combat a little more fast and furious, he doubles the monster's damage and halves their hitpoints. So when I use a power like this it's like a double whammy for him...

It just reminds me of 3.5 and weapon sundering. We started using it against the monsters and then the DM started using it against us. In the end we called a cease-fire saying if you don't sunder us we won't sunder you. I can imagine the same might happen here as I control the DM's monsters...

I just hit level 17 before our last session and my wizard found the spell "Mass Charm" and took it. We played on Sunday last week and had 2 encounters where I used Mass Charm in each. My DM was skeptical that the power is correct as written. The fact that it has no Will attack seems odd. All...

I've been playing a hybrid Shielding Swordmage/Wizard for a couple levels and he is fantastic. Swordmage loses almost nothing as a hybrid, and his defender mechanic fires off as an immediate action... so I can spend my minor action marking a target, (or targets, I'm level 13 now), my standard...

I do not believe so. It means you can only use the Aegis Power itself once per encounter to mark an enemy (until that enemy dies or the mark is removed, in which case you get the ability to mark back). Once applied, the mark remains whether you're a hybrid or not, and the Aegis text states...

Thanks for the replies. Battle Mage does look interesting, as do Unseen Mage and Wandering Swordmage, but I think I'm going to stick with Coronal Guard. My main role will still be the party defender and that PP feels like it expands on that role the best. The encounter power that can save an...
