There's also the possibility of magic and technology co-existing in some fashion with each other. The Eberron setting is perhaps the closest thing to this. If you have a setting where magic can be used as a stand-in for technology, you are more likely to see very little technological...

Which might be why 5e has a number of subclasses that allow one class to 'lean' into another class without picking up a level elsewhere. Fighter (Eldritch Knight) leans into wizard. Wizard (Bladesinger) leans into fighter. This approach avoids the pushback in class features that one would...

This approach works better in PF2 (aka Featfinder) than it does in 5e.

We're only at post #23, it can't be that old. :p

Here is how PF2 views the four magical traditions in Pathfinder: Arcane Arcane spellcasters use logic and rationality to categorize the magic inherent in the world around them. Because of its far-reaching approach, the arcane tradition has the broadest spell list, though it’s generally poor at...

An alternative to a spellcasting skill: Language as a skill for casting spells with a verbal spell component. As for the somatic spell component, there is the Performance skill. Lastly, the Nature or Survival skill for finding and preparing the right material component for the spell you want...

Spellcasting as a skill. Casting a spell seems to be rather effortless and error free in D&D. Casters need to learn how to be proficient when casting a spell.

I had some fun times playing Master of Magic, Master of Orion and Master of Orion 2: Battle of Antares. :)

The Voidrunner's Codex from EN Publishing has their own take on the Psion class. https://a5e.tools/rules/psion It also has the Psyknight class. https://a5e.tools/rules/psyknight

I have. :) A nice bit of Bardic Inspiration there. :) I was 😲 I have an interest in psionics/psychic magic thanks to 3e and PF1. I have yet to put my mind into playing a psionicist.

I came across Laser Llama's work on GM Binder shortly after I was invited by my friend/DM, almost 4 years ago, into role-playing 5e with him and his group. It was his Magus class that drew my attention to his work. I felt that his Magus class was a very good attempt at making an arcane...

Laser Llama does happen to have a psionic subclass for the Ranger called the Nomad. https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-MW4c30CbGMWLRNgJxgb Nomad Conclave Whether by birth, happenstance, or a ritual, the mind of every Nomad has been connected to the mystical web of knowledge known as the...

Agreed. The 4e Dragonborn and 4e Genasi had more lore compared to them back then. There were two Ecology articles for these two that came well after the PHB source material.

The only Yuan-Ti that comes close to a 2024 Marilith in terms of appearance is a Yuan-Ti Abomination. The biggest difference between the two, however, is that the latter normally lacks the additional pairs of arms. I say normally because there probably are ways in D&D to make the Yuan-Ti...

Inclusive for whom?

I said yes to the question of wanting psionics in my game. But what if you already have psionics in your game? ;) In my role-playing group, one of my fellow role-players has homebrewed and played as several psionic characters. In Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus, he played as a human...

Male birds (and most likely Male Vrocks) would have something colorful about them. Size might also be a factor as some birds have it where the female bird is larger than the male bird.

Instead of being the sentient fragments of a gate that led to the Far Realm, they could be psionic Earth Elementals. As for names, it has to be something we wouldn't take for granite.

Got a favorite psionic class? My favorite psychic class originally was PF1's Kineticist class thanks to the Last Airbender series. This class was later converted into Level Up as the Elementalist class.

True. They're better off as a psionic humanoid. Sustaining yourself by your own psionics should not make you an Aberration.
