Somatic components with Psionics are Mudras, spiritual gestures in Hinduism. A lot of D&D's ideas of Psionics specifically come from the more esoteric ideas in Yoga. Some of the classic D&D disciplines/schools of Psionics correspond to the Siddhis in Hinduism and the powers that Yogis are said...

A victory for me on the "Psions should be spellcasters using spells" advocate group! Now my comments at first glance: I think Psions still using Somatic components are relevant since after all how often do you see comic book telepaths putting their fingers on their temples to use psychic...

So I made a connection in my mind with the Polynesian-themed Storm Goliath that's depicted as the Circle of the Sea Druid in the PHB with the Pillars of Eternity II: Dreadfire companion Tekēhu. As a Godlike he's technically a Water Genasi in D&D terms but is of Aumaua background which is sort of...

I don't think all Aberrations are about horror, and I actually have stats in mind for Flumphs as a PC option.

In general I think it's miracle that Veilguard turned out to be the game it was given all the things that happened outside of the game. I don't think the publisher got the right idea for what happened with the game, as one of their execs got the wrong message and still feels it would have been...

Markings seem to be the main visual indicator for Goliaths beyond their size, I'm guessing they want to emphasize Giant runes somewhere.

Anyways one thing about the newer Goliaths is I feel there's room for some campaign specific variations. For example Dark Sun would have a Goliath that resembles mini Humanoid Head Giants, which are the classic Half-Giants of DS. And there could be a Beast-Head Goliath variety that's connected...

Even though Monsters of the Multiverse where the Genasi last appeared is more 2024 compatible than other books, I think the Genasi are going to need more of a reformatting. They'd probably be written as just 1 species with lineage options, like Elves, Gnomes, Tieflings and Goliaths have been...

I wish they tried to bring back the Elan, they sort of have a picture of an Elan in the 2024 PHB as the Psi Warrior looks a lot like an Elan from 3.5e. Though bringing back the Elan they might need to work more on why they're Aberrations for having a psionic physiology. For plants, they tried...

We don't have playable Illithid or Beholders lite species yet. Sure the Gith are related to Illithids, but I think they'd be more embraced because of Lae'zel (or Dak'kon for those older players).

It hasn't been a year yet for the 2024 PHB, but it's been more than a year since they've been included in the playtests and almost a year since we've seen some art for them from the PHB previews? We've definitely had the classic Stone Goliaths as the vision of what Goliaths were since 3.5e, but...

I've had problems with History as a skill since it seems in many cases to cover a wide variety of things beyond just "history". I think a lot of things about politics, law, culture and society are just thrown under the umbrella of History.

So assuming it's a campaign setting that's roughly in the 1800s for technology and other things, and still a highly magical world. Especially a Steampunk with magitech type setting, but also other fiction that generally takes place in that century like Gothic Victorian Horror and Westerns...

The 5e DMG covers about the same on many planes as the Original Boxed Set did, so I can understand why they didn't have that in the 5e boxed set. It would be redundant, especially with the 2024 DMG being on the way when they wrote those books, which included things like mentioning Domains of...

It looks like you can fit an Air Elemental into that, not to mentioning there's a ring of lightning at the rear. It does not look like something that contains Helium or Hydrogen.

I noticed in the preview pages for the Artillerist they now added "Martial Ranged Weapon" to the things that can become an Arcane Firearm. Finally an Artillerist can use a Firearm (or a Bow or Crossbow) as an Arcane Firearm...

Copyright is shorter in Canada as there's Popeye's Supplements which outright uses the Popeye character to sell supplements, proteins, fitness nutrition stuff and other things like that, which has existed since 1989. While I've heard of the copyright has not yet expired in the US. For WotC I...

I wished they tried covering every class with a spooky subclass, what other spooky subclasses should there be? Barbarian, well the Path of the Beast might be since it's sort of Werewolf themed Druid, I'd think Circle of Spores could be the spooky Druid, but there's room for other types of...
