Yeah, probably. I'm just not sure what the non-subclass features of a psion class would be. There's likely something, though.

No, that's still an attack roll! How can I know how much damage I do without rolling a one-sided die first?!

Oh hey that was like a pun or something. Huh. I've been thinking about how them psychic classes might be implemented in 5e. It would be neat if they were more their own class. I mean, if their main deal is casting spells with their mind and being able to spend a special pool of points to adjust...

As far as simple weapons go, you can't get simpler than a fist. Makes sense.

Yeah, sounds good to me. Being invisible would certainly make you stealthier. Everything else will be taken care of.

I wish the MM told us the weights of the monsters. I have no idea how to estimate anything related to weight.

You can also learn certain skills by multiclassing, but adding on an additional class to the character just for more skills overcomplicates it. Like Tormyr says, the Skilled feat should cover most needs. You actually learn 3 skills/tools at once with that one.

That sounds more fun than not stacking them, so I'm just gonna say "yes." As far as I can tell nothing specifically says they don't.

3.5e's range increments thing would've allowed stronger people to throw things farther, right? I wouldn't mind seeing a 5e version of that as a variant rule.

Wait, but don't all thrown weapons have a fixed range, so you always throw them the same distance no matter how strong you are?

I've never used a campaign setting, so I really just care about the materials each one offers that I can use in settings I make up. 1- Ebberon, for the artificer class 2- Dark sun, if it includes psionics maybe I'll actually try them out this time 3- Ravenloft, because although I know next to...

I kind of wish the crafting system had more to it. Everything takes so long, it's hard for me to really see the appeal. I'll probably make alchemical items count as magic for the purpose of crafting time; I am not going to spend five to ten days making a single-use low-damage combat item that is...

Well, in the Salable Magic Items table on the next page, the base prices for each rarity are the same as the creation costs. I never realized you don't cut the cost in half when you craft a magic item like you do with a mundane one. How the heck do people who sell potions of healing make a...

What are we doing right now? Trying to determine what qualifies something as a "game"? I think I can help with this! I have studied game design for a little more than two years so far; I'm sure at some point they taught us exactly what games are. Just gimme a second... A game is an activity in...

About this class distinction issue, keep in mind what I said about the difference between clerics and druids. Not all classes need be as distinctive as the sorcerer and wizard have become in 5e. Oh, don't worry, I think my current design fits these goals. Here's how I approached item-crafting...

Oh well. For now it's easy enough to make a feat that gives you expertise in some things you currently have regular proficiency in.

Does the ability to invent new magic items using a gradually increasing array of tools count? That's the direction I'm taking it in. At the moment, over 37 unique items can be crafted from cantrips and first-level spells alone, including energy bombs, barometers, vine-conjuring whips...

Yay, my DMG arrived! The magic items section has given me some great ideas. All those tables you can roll on to give minor properties to magic items? I feel like this is what the personal weapon augmentation infusion was always meant to be. I'm thinking you start off with a cantrip that lets you...

I don't think classes really need to be as different from each other as you claim to feel unique, Kamikaze Midget. Could a druid have just been relegated to a Nature Domain cleric? After all, the ancient druids from history were basically priests who revered nature. Just adjust the subclass...

Oh! Have you seen the artificer class I was working on that built on top of that hack? It goes up to level 10 at the moment, and I'd be interested to know how well it works so far. You can see it in the fan content section here.
