I'm pretty sure Eltab wasn't suggesting that the feat would allow you to make an infinite number of attacks every round... just that you could continue attacking the opponent over and over until it's dead. I'm not disputing your overall point, but there seems to be a hole in your logic here...

I think you're mistaken about which character is more popular. The Disney movie undoubtedly raised Aladdin's profile, but I'm certain the story was already well-known even before that. (And the same goes for the story of Ali Baba, whom I'd rate as second most well-known after Aladdin.) For one...

I've always been of the opinion that if he were statted up in D&D, Perceval should have levels in ranger, because he was raised alone in the woods by his mother. (In 5e that would translate to the Outlander background as well.) I've also always thought of Tristan as having levels in bard...

I just discovered this series today, so I'm going to use this space to comment on the series as a whole. I love the idea, but there are a couple of improvements you could make: First, it would be nice to see what backgrounds you chose for them. Based on the number of skills listed for each, it...

Which is a good argument for using the warlock as a model. Give each Path some basic low-level powers usable at-will, like eldritch invocations -- mage hand for a telekinetic, fire bolt for a pyro, some scaled-down version of detect thoughts for a telepath, etc. -- and make them eat up spell...

I envision *most* disciplines being useable at-will, yes. With the option of being able to attempt disciplines that are either at or just above the limit of what you're capable of at the cost of exhaustion (which could possibly be mitigated if you're attuned to a crystal focus). If we follow the...

Were you? I didn't realize that. I was just talking about the *concept*. The question (the one *I'm* asking, anyway) is not whether there's fictional or mythical precedent for teleportation, but whether it would be thought of as a specifically *psychic* power as opposed to simply *magic*. And...

I'm not sure what it is that you think I feel, but I get the sense that you've misunderstood me. Or maybe I've misunderstood you. Or both. Either way, it seems like we're talking at cross-purposes here. Let me see if I can clear it up. When I mentioned making psychics a subclass of wizard or...

Okay, can you both take a breath and calm down now? Caliban, whether you intended it or not, your replies to both my original post and CapnZapp's response came across as pretty snarky. I chose to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you were legitimately unclear as to what I...

Well, I was responding to the suggestions other people had made that psions/mystics/psychics/whatever should be a subclass of wizard or some other existing class. Presumably the people who made those suggestions aren't satisfied with the UA mystic class. All I'm saying is, I'd rather have a...

I'm asking, of those who have had experience playing or running 5th edition (I haven't yet, due to lack of opportunities), and particularly those who have used the Sentinel feat or seen it used in-game, do you think that changing the rule would create an overpowered exploit? (Also, can you think...

I find it odd that the description of the Sentinel feat says you don't get the third benefit (attack an enemy who attacks one of your allies) if the ally also has the Sentinel feat. The only reason I can think of why they'd disallow that is to prevent a situation where two Sentinels are flanking...

Looking at their example deity, I can't help thinking that having glaive as a favored weapon is at odds with "never strike first".

My hypothetical psychic class wouldn't have any reference to pacts -- when I said I'd model it on the warlock I simply meant that I'd give them a short list of spells and a selection of at-will abilities (changing the name from "invocations" to "disciplines" or "talents") that may or may not be...

I think part of the problem with psions, why many people feel they're "too sci-fi", is the name. After all, the term was originally coined by a science fiction author, was it not? But if you call them psychics, then they don't really sound science-fictiony at all. Or, if you think giving a class...

I've been working on creating a quick-reference guide to 5e character creation, including a summary list of feats. This is *not* intended as a substitute for actually reading the full description of the feats -- it's meant to aid players, especially new ones, in selecting a feat without having...

I mentioned tomes and manuals in the list I added to the original post, but I didn't catch the others. I'll add them as soon as I have a chance to look up the details. Thanks! ETA: After checking the DMG, I've decided not to bother listing every single item that increases ability scores. The...

It took me a bit longer than I said, but I compiled the complete list. Since nobody has suggested a better place to post it, I've added it to the original post of this thread to make it easier to find. Anyone else who wants to have the information for reference should be sure they copy or...

Not you, no. It was other people that said that. I just find it ironic (and not in a good way) that I'm getting criticized from both sides; some people are saying the change I'm suggesting is overly restrictive, and other people are saying it's trivial and pointless. Also, it's not Nature or...

First of all, if there's a rule I don't like in a game, I prefer to come up with a solution *before* it comes up in play rather than try to improvise a fix on the spot. Secondly, any players I'm likely to be GMing for in the foreseeable future are people who are new to D&D in any form, and...
