    D&D 5E (2024) It Is 2025 And Save Or Suck Spells Still Suck (the fun out of the game)

    I don't like all or nothing stuff. IMO action economy needs more of a gradient. I.e. Everyone has ~5 actions, bosses can have more. Getting stunned means you lose 1-4 actions Stunned doesn't stack, just take the highest. Or maybe. Suggestions only works against creatures with less than 10 *...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    It is simpler on the casting rules if everyone uses the same word for "spells ready to cast" rather than 2 different ones. It also opens up more variations. Changing 1 spell on a long rest doesn't fit into either of the old categories.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Druid and Cleric can change all their spells every day . Wizard can change all their spells every day, but only if they have them in their book. At level 5 they can change 1 on a short rest. They can also cast Rituals out of their book. Paladin and Druid can change 1 spell per long rest...

    For any barbarian from 1 to 4. But always for Beserker. Level 1 to 4 Greatsword is 2d6 + rage Nick is 1d6 + 1d6 + l 2 rage =+ rage damage (+ 2d6 for Beserker) Level 5+ Greatsword is 4d6+2 rage Nick is 3d6+ 3 rage = so your down 1d6 weapon damage, but up a rage damage (+2d6 for Beserker)...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    No. Just the wording. All change on level, unless it's a subclass spell or similar. Some daily.

    Nick is a damage boost for Beserker. Maybe Zealot too (didn't calculate).

    Verbage change. But Psion is a caster, same as Bard or Sorcerer.

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    That's why I added a 1/long rest, you succeed, and it's short rest recharge. Still not claiming it to be the best for Psion. I like those for video games, but it's a bit too much to track. But "can't cast 2 turns in a row" would only require you to know what you used last round. That's could...

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    Fair. Hmm... To cast a spell, you need to make a DC equal to three times the spell level. Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by the spells level. (Cantrips are level 0). When you finish a Short or Long Rest, the DC resets. That's actually an interesting choice...

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    Just to toss out another, probably worse, idea. To cast a spell, you need to make a DC 5+ twice the spell level. Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a Short or Long Rest, the DC resets.

    D&D 5E (2024) Psion Class: Green/Yellow/Red?

    Nothing stops Psions from having their own timer. I.e. Once you cast a spell you can't cast it again for 1 minute.

    D&D 5E (2024) Psion Class: Green/Yellow/Red?

    Agreed, but it's much worse with points. That helps. But I'd still prefer a step more. I wouldn't want to cast 10 different spells before your could cast the first one against, but some extra anti-spam thing.

    D&D 5E (2024) What Should a Psion Be Able To Do?

    Pick 2 mini-spell lists at level 1. Pyrokinetic gets fire spells Telekinetic gets thunder wave Cryokinetic gets ray of frost, and grease-but-ice. Biokinetic gets healing Ect... Or a subclass can give you cross over. Polypsi, When you take a long rest, you can choose any 3 spell from any of...

    D&D 5E (2024) Psion Class: Green/Yellow/Red?

    The issue a point system is that you just pick the best power (+ augment + feat + subclass), spam it, then take a rest. I.e. cast Heightened Synaptics Static repeatedly. I don't mind if Psions have less versatility, but I don't want to be (indirectly or directly) limited to 1 spell. (I don't...

    I'm pro monk. Specifically putting half the power into the bonus action. And the other half can be spells. I.e. Level 1: half caster Choose 2 Talents, these determine your spell list, and a few other features at higher level (resist fire for Pyrokinetic) Pyrokinetic (fire bolt, burning...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Should a Psion Be Able To Do?

    It doesn't. A 5th level spell is balanced to be a big thing for 9th level characters. And it would generally be too big for a level 5 character. But that's not a hard rule. Well you could do the second one. But I the first would make more sense.
