If you don't like the design philosophy (how the game is designed, classes, etc included) and you don't like the release schedule it doesn't make sense why you'd be playing the game. I will do my best to say "build that with XYZ" but neither of us know if it's a kludge ignoring half of the...

You guys look like you're talking at cross purposes. You can sneak attack with your Psychic Blade, yes. Rend Mind is a separate ability that is not an attack with a finesse or ranged weapon (it is a separate action and sneak attack requires an Attack), so Sneak Attack doesn't apply here even...

Me too, of the 15 people I know locally who play regularly (there are more, these are just the ones I know), I'm the only one on here.

That is... oddly specific? :) I'm thinking: some sort of Volo's/Mordenkainen's monster book related to dragons a Xanathar's style book related to player options and variants (a la all the recent UA) 2 adventures Miscellany and Sundry cool things like GF9 maps I can't afford to buy but really want.

I’m not saying it’s impossible, but 1 new class in 5 years doesn’t indicate a change in design philosophy. It just indicates that Artificer as a wizard feedback didn’t meet the 70% publishable approval threshold while Artificer as a class did. They wanted to do Eberron. To do Eberron you have...

the only thing I’m missing at this point is A Cleric domain like the Mind or Mentalism domain or something. I don’t need a Psionic Ranger (Monster Slayer already covers Rangers who hunt creatures like Mind Flayers well) or a Psionic Paladin. Monks and ki are basically already Psionic butfor...

I don’t see anyone mocking in here other than you mocking the WotC design team effort levels New classes just aren’t in the cards for this edition. Right or wrong. Agree with it or not. If you want new classes to fill conceptual space you feel is unfulfilled, you’ll need to turn to 3PP/DMs...

If they aren’t happy with 5e design goals and output rate why are they playing 5e? That is a serious question. Why play an rpg that doesn’t do what you want in the big areas? What is a shaman to you? What do you mean by “shaman” that you don’t find can be represented?

Who says that is what they’re doing with all their resources all the time? I’m sure they have tons of different ideas that are tossed around all the time and then tossed out for one reason or another. Just look at the Mystic UA. or Mearls idea in the Happy Fun Hour to have cantrips that can...

An interesting confluence of things... I literally just saw this thread and THIS Tweet with a Forbes article from Goldie Chan almost simultaneously.

The OP's statement boils down to this quoted above. My statements are directly responding to that, so no. Not irrelevant at all. Yes, there is a reason not to take the time to develop it into a full class. Because it is niche (i.e. not high demand and/or data to support broad appeal) and...

You need to slow your roll on accusing the WotC design team of laziness just because they don't put out the things you want. I've seen you do it in multiple threads now and it's just flat out not true. They are a small team that is putting out a lot of good content relative to their size...

Not to mention the calls of "but they created [insert x class]! Why can't they do [insert Y class] too??" that would come!

Sits back with popcorn to see how long before someone tries to argue with the setting's creator about the setting's cosmology ;) Seriously though. Great insights and thanks for chiming in! Any timelines or updates on the new DMs Guild book you could pop into the Exploring Eberron thread and...

It is interesting that even in the microcosm that is EN World that less than 20% of respondents (small sample size still I know) use/play with psionics or have done, with any frequency. If this community bears out Crawford's words, then it has to be true of the broader community. Probably also...

I saw one in 2e, played one in 2e. I've played a small handful in 3.x, but I was the only one in my group that did play any Psionics. I love the stuff myself, but even with that of the probably hundreds of characters I've created over the years, I've played less than 10 psionic characters in...

I've never argued that they have to be the same, though warlocks are strictly speaking literally male witches, but whatever. I've just been pointing out that you can model witchcraft through an existing class. The great thing about trying to adapt things to the D&D rules, especially when we're...

Just to be clear since the link still just goes to the generic 3 for 2 page, but they mean the Drizzt novel Homeland, not Homeland: a novel published in 2019! :) Not to say the second is a bad book or anything... it's just not part of the 3-for-2! :)

What is psionics then? What is missing exactly? It’s always been magic waived with a different name and points Instead of spell slots. Is it a spell book that has you upset? Is it the continued use of spell slots?
