No. You don't have to do any of that. Call crossbows "guns" and rename Arcana "Tech" and you are literally halfway there.

You can reskin anything. You can make D&D post apocalyptic science fantasy by renaming things and describing things differently and not change a single rule. You can make it more or less deadly with a few of the (2014) suggested optional rules. I think it is false on its face to say that D&D 5E...

Just out of pure curiosity, do you consider this a short or long campaign?

From a balance perspective, versatility should come at a cost.

You inferred that "need." But, do go on.

Want and need are different things.

I hope one of the things we will see is a "advanced GM guide" that will go into detail on creating mechanical elements.

How is it different than all non wizard casters?

I do wish the section on campaign frames had explicit "rules" or guidance for making those changes. As it is, it is very much a "look, examples! do that" kind of thing which isn't quite as helpful.

I was using hyprbole for effect. But my point stands: DH characters are simpler and have fewer moving parts than the majority of 5E characters (some of the simpler subclasses are probably equivalent).

You can call a hat a sock, too, if you wear it on your foot instead of your head. ;)

To be clear, it is just a pet peeve of mine. I bristle when things are named things that don't actually reflect what they are or do.

So, the class looks fine as a draft, but the name really bugs me. Sentinels, by definition, are not hunters. They are watchmen and guardians.

The only solution is for fans to call out other fans for this kind of behavior.

I don't want to derail the official announcement thread but I am very curious: For those that are not happy with the "psionicist as spellcaster" paradigm, what is it that you actually want to see? Why? And as a secondary consideration: is it just psionics that you want to be different? How...

Ah. I did not catch the difference on a quick read.

My current sandbox campaign is largely populated by existing adventures, locations and other bits I have stolen from all manner of sources. I also reach for random tables, from Worlds Without Number to Shadowdark, to create stuff on the fly. And of course, my whims will carry me wherever based...

Scars reducing your max Hope is RAW. The soul eaten bit is a setting mechanic.

My regular Monday group was in person before the pandemic, then went online, and we have recently started trying to do one session per month in person. We are playing Even of Ruin, if that matters, and use Fantasy grounds as our VTT. The biggest issue we have found so far is keeping character...
