    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Oooooh, interesting. Alternative theories to Dark Sun now occur to me: Gamma World 2026 or a D&D Supers game. Asian and these abilities would fit well woth those, with a note saying "mix and match to your heart's content"...

    New D&D Video Game Announced

    You assume they will ever overhaul the rules again.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Yeah, it is an interesting question to contemplate, but that is what they have stated that is what they are doing. I think you might be onto something about which are inte ded for Intelligence boosting Backgrounds: and in current 5E rules, Backgrounds are precisely for gating optimization and...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    In 4E Dark Sun, not everyone had Wild Talents IIRC. It was Feat gated.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Yes, but they are presented as ten distinct Feats, with the note that they plan to use them for Backgrounds. So, given thwt, crowding the undoubtedly overstuffed FR books with that seems unlikely. Dark Sun or something new would seem most likely, but FR has too much other ground to cover, and...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Nah, no matter what they intend the Psion for is a ways off yet: given the history of 5E Psionics UA, they aren't going to wait until books are almost finalized to test this.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    I do think it is more possible thwt these are for the FR books than that they are for Dragonlance supplement. 1% odds are greater than 0%.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Dragonmarks are also exclusive, but those are 13 Feats that are each getting a Background in Forge of the Artificer. Similarly, the section on Wild Talent Feats states that the 10 distinct Geats would be tied to Backgrounds in any book that contained them.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    They also have a track record of busting out UA for things that might fail earlier in a product's development...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Anything is possible: but this is not for the FR book.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    But would they spend 10 Backgrounds on Wild Talents...? I simply don't buy it, this is not for the FR book.

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

    While fair (among the Core Classes, this is the worst with Ranger and Monk IMO)...the gap with Psion is way, waaaay more extreme. The 1E and 2E approach have basically nothing in common, barely even in concept, and the 3E approach is entirely new, as is the 4E Psionic Power. If people rally...

    Yeah, it is intriguing: the answer may lie in the Elemental-dominated deserts of Athas...

    Same reason they changed the word "Race"...and good for them.

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    There are dozens of them!!! Dozens!!!! Seriously though, given how small Goodma Games following is, it is not necessarily business to fully alienate so many people.

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

    Sorcerer is set to stay, wince they ha eMetamagic as a Thing and a lot of momentum now. 2024 did quite a bit to boost Metamagic and make the Sorcerer feel like it fills the role of fictional magic like Channelling from Wheel of Time. Sorcerer's will stay in any future iteration.

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

    Big issue with Psionics is that, yes, it was in every Edition...but each time was entirely different from every other time. Even 3.5 was a pretty major overhaul compared to the Core Classses. There simply isn't a "classic" to rally around.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Here is what the Eberron UA says about the 13 Dragonmark Feats: "Dragonmarks. Also included are a collection of feats that provide a new way to join the dragonmarked houses of Eberron. These feats allow characters of any species to take and improve their dragonmarks. Backgrounds representing a...
