Haha, well you know one of the funny things in D&D is: Unlike in RL for every problem there is a solution. Black powder can get: Wet (how boring) Stolen (how boring 2) Into the face of some one igniting it (Now it gets interesting) Backfire (yessss, more of that!) Have a slightly larger range...

Your list was so complete and comprehensive, do not get into a defensive position to cater to people who got the "all races must be included i nevery official setting" -glasses on. I can see you have a different opinion in the second sentence of this post, so stand for it.

Ask ALEXA eh Alessia, sorry for the pun i cannot help you with your question but noted the similarity in naming.

Especially since the immortal, avatar and awakened subclasses fit perfectly to emulate a Psion (Metabolic, Kinetic and Telepath ) similar to the 2e Darksun class? I know it might have been discussed before, but i wanted to start a counterthread to @WayOfTheFourElements thread and his- quite...

Why? So you neither use mind flayers nor aboleths in your games? They are such great mobs, D&D would feel poorer without them.

It is ok if you add silent spell stil lspell and (whatever the name of the feat is) cast without components. Then you can easily replace a psion class with this reskinned sorcerer. Same way how they did it (in a not so perfect way) for the favored soul. Edit : you also should add the pspell...

Well lt least he looks like an elf in this one, which is clearly the best of all the examples in this thread. And people who complain on his teint in any way: 1. He is an elf 2. He is a product of pure fiction 3. He is an elf - Not a human with makeup 4. What prejustice do you have against...

ROFLMAO, what would he have drawn if he wrote 600 year old ?

50 shades of pink

just by demographics surely the younger guys buy more digital content, but with books? I heavily doubt that. Also there is no incentive to present them ds. Back then it was something really different, a big thing. if today it would be yet another storyline but bring along everything you are...

Let us complicate the discussion a bit more and check what "loaded" topics or cliches are within the original darksun: Slavery Arena fights Very stereotyped races, like halfgiants are all dimwits, elves are all thieves, halflings are all cannibals and mul are all slaves. Racism : Elves vs...

What DS really does not need: Paladins, sorcerers 5e caster bards, monks barbarians, tieflings eladrin and everything else shoehorned into the setting DS without psionics is like FR without magic or Eberron without dragonmarks

Yep you did not force the player gun point, but that is also not what i tried to express. You did it the soft way by giving him info, and of course in the end it was his decision. That is (sometimes) the same way i do it. E.g. Ravenloft and paladins in my games. In other campaigns i just...

well i hated the subclass / dice thing. It was absolutely not what was needed for e.g. Darksun. What i like and what is really a sound concept for me is UA mystic 3. It has everything you need to model a 2e darksun Psion in 5e, you just have to limit it to the immortal, avatar and awakened...

I am a bit disappointed, but if they turn this into a official full psionic caster then it is at least better than that awful subclass to existing class hodgepodge. edited for typo

So you do know about limiting players choices after all. This was what i meant. Also @Bacon Bits in his post above gave a very good example on what to avoid. It all depends on your dm style also. If i run a campaign in Ravenloft i advise players not to chose a LG classic Paladin, because his...

is this an approach to psi akin to a vancian caster ? It seems like it : 2nd lvl spell, cantrip

That is your solution? Instead of telling players upfront that certain subclasses will not work well with the adventure? Just to keep unlimited class selection , no matter what? I mean i do have more time to prep a campaign than maybe some other dms, but i prep one campaign not five, just...

Hah, that once more proves my grognard dm attitude to limit every selection so that such things among others do not occur. But even if, like in your case, you go the modern anything goes way, your dm should have discussed your choice upfront with you, and made you aware, that your selection...

How would you do the real complicated mass combat and economic stuff for 5e, which is on the lighter side of number of rules? But let us not discuss that, but if they would write a 5e rulebook with all the extras, so it would become a large book, then they still would need the splat books, which...
