I always assumed that Awakened Mind lets you speak telepathically to a single creature at the same time, but recently I compared it to other forms of telepathy from Tasha's Guide. For reference: Awakened Mind (Player's Handbook, 10th print, p.111) Invasive Thoughts (Tasha's Guide, p. 67)...

Done. The updated version has been added to the first post.

Yes, they are listed as Sorcerer spells on D&D Beyond.

There is one downside: many monsters are immune to poison, so the potential of this invocation depends on a campaign. If you know you will face mostly humanoids, it's powerfull, for sure. Also, while imps have devil's sight, sprites don't even have darkvision, which is also a problem.

Great suggestion. I changed "Summon Elemental" from Storm Sorcerer's list to "Summon Elemental (water only)". Edit: On further consideration, perhaps "water or air" would be more suitable?

@Xeviat Missing Extended Spell Lists for Ranger Subclasses If I checked correctly only Hunter and Beast Master from Player's Handbook don't have their own extended spell lists. Also, in Tasha's all rangers get additional extended spells form Primal Awareness (speak with animals, beast sense...

@ph0rk Well, Tasha's in general is a mixed bag with player options going from overpowered to overly nerfed (cough pact of talisman cough). For me this is just a starting point, which I'll tweak later, depending on the in-game feedback. Choosing one spell from two available without additional...

I agree. But I wanted to follow the format provided in Tasha's for Aberrant and Clockwork Sorcerer and just give the same option to other sorcerer subclasses.

Sorcerers in Tasha's learn two additional spells from extended lists on level 1,3,5,7 and 9 - only those spells can be swapped, and only one of them per level. My intention was to provide the same option for sorcerer subclasses from previous books.

Correct. Pact invocations (Blade / Chain / Tome) are available from 3rd level.

Or even better: describe the villain that way, so players will decide themselves that frontal attack is not the right idea. With a good description you can influence your players to avoid combat (or display any other behavior you want them to do). In my games, if I describe something as really...

I think it's less about D&D rules, but players with a particular mentality. Once they realize the world is not scaling down to their level and combat is not the only option, they'll be fine. Of course, some settings can help to reinforce that idea better than others, in Planescape, for example...

Did your players knew who the villain was? If he was someone famous you should let your players make the History check or just tell them outright who they're dealing with. After that, if they didn't reconsider and still believed that challenging a foe that's way beyond any of them is a good...

Sorry for thread necromancy, but I have the same problem. Anybody knows how to fix it?
