You don't. Those are natural powers, like the Fighter's attack, and the Psion should be able to use them as often as s-he likes. You just have to balance those at-will powers with other class abilities, but that doesn't sound too hard.

The Tarrasque can't do anything against the flying wizard. On the other hand, the flying parasites which live in the Tarrasque's hide will attack instantly when their home is threatened.

After 746 posts on that particular topic, if there's one thing that's certain, it's that it is not that simple, really.

Those are not very distinctive, though, are they? If Sorcerers had one or two really great and memorable cantrips that Wizards don't get, that would do a lot to improve the class' reputation ("I may not be able to cast hundreds of spells, but I have Radiance Blast! Haha!") Oh well. I guess the...

I want two things: I want Psionics to be different from magic and I want Psionics to be just as simple as the rest of 5e. In my opinion, spending points would be a clunky and inelegant choice. If it were me, I'd create something similar to WoD's powers: every Psionic power would have several...

I think that the changes would be more palatable if Sorcerors had access to a couple of very distinctive spells that other spellcasters don't have on their list, like the Warlock's Hex.

There are no squares.

Isn't that exactly the same as the "noticing boxes in an alley" part of the debate, though? The boxes may or may not have existed all along. What the player does is make them relevant to the run of play. If one is a storygame mechanism, the other one is.

The same can be said of any adventure which takes place in an official setting, though.

Well, it is the DMG: it's usually 5% traps, 15% magic items and 80% "gosh, aren't players annoying?!"

Tying releases to modules makes complete sense, but since I'm not interested in modules, I may end up not buying anything after the DMG.

Yes, I think it matters quite a bit! :D

What is a Warlock/Paladin/Sorcerer, though? Someone who has a natural gift for magic, but who signs a pact with an occult entity to gain some more magic, while swearing a sacred oath to serve a diety? How do you justify that?

Really? Well, I wasn't aware of that. Just ignore me, I don't know what I'm talking about. :o

I think it would be more palatable if they had a couple of spells on their list that Wizards don't have access to.

For me, mechanically, the Sorcerer doesn't look distinct enough from the Wizard. The class just isn't very appealing. Thematically, I can understand the appeal of playing someone who's naturally gifted at magic, but in play, Sorcerers are just also-ran spellcasters, with very little flavor of...

I've tried to do a Fighter Martial Archetype which is, for all intents and purposes, a Ranger without spells. It's here, if you're interested.

Eberron. There's simply nothing better (or Mystara, but... you know.)

Sounds like every D&D campaign. :)

What's frustrating is when the same players have no trouble remembering the name of every single character in every single TV show they watch. :erm:
