    Unearthed Arcana Psionics Hits Unearthed Arcana

    Why should the immortal be able to action surge more times per day than the fighter. I like the feel of the class but it is prone to multiclass abuse and is overpowered currently. The point system allows you to convert all those 1st and 2nd level slots into 3rd level slots. That is why these...

    Unearthed Arcana Psionics Hits Unearthed Arcana

    Right feel, but too many broken combos. Intelligence score as a defensive stat makes for a broken attack.

    Unearthed Arcana Psionics Hits Unearthed Arcana

    I haven't read the whole thing but does anyone see the broken celerity with a rogue's cunning action and up to five action surges with a wizard. You have intelligence synergy with the awakened mystic and the wizard.

    New D&D Survey: What Do you Want From Older Editions?

    The problem with bloat is that you put the DM in a hard position. I've heard plenty of people say if don't want something at your table, just say no. The problem with five hundred supplements becomes the DM saying no to 60 to 70 percent of the official printed material. You end up looking like a...

    New D&D Survey: What Do you Want From Older Editions?

    Are we talking about the Warlord because it is an option people want to play or like someone said earlier, is it simply a proxy for a rehash of the edition war between 4e and 5e? I think the lack of a true gish character with arcane strike and magical abilities that focus on personal abjuration...

    You and I both know we are not getting one of those.

    New D&D Survey: What Do you Want From Older Editions?

    I second this motion. This might be the most important issue facing the game. Bobble-headed halflings need to be discarded into the dustbin of history. Please make this happen.

    New D&D Survey: What Do you Want From Older Editions?

    My house rule - No hit point restoration after a long rest, but full hit dice restoration. It is more generous than previous editions, but I feel it more accurately portrays hp as both stamina and physical damage. Their use of hit die in the morning to recover wounds reinforces the idea of...

    New D&D Survey: What Do you Want From Older Editions?

    In 5e Warlords would use the hit die mechanic. They would allow you to expend hit die to heal just like a short rest, but couldn't give you hit points like a cleric.

    I like your release schedule with the exception of the idea of a monster manual a year. I can't really see MM5 four years from now. If there are going to be monsters in the setting expansions, I could live with a general monster manual once every three years.

    Mike Mearls Talks (er, Tweets) About the Industry

    So what if WotC had devoted 1000s of man hours and a million dollars developing an Eberron campaign book. You'd still be unhappy about the content and WotC might be out a lot of money if it didn't sell well? Maybe all the resources and energy at WotC should be devoted solely to creating content...

    Mike Mearls on D&D Psionics: Should Psionic Flavor Be Altered?

    One alternative class and a single spell does not a bunch make in my mind. If the slots mesh then the Psion is just another caster and we should just publish a bunch of psionic spells ... create the sorcerer sub-class and call it a day.

    Mike Mearls on D&D Psionics: Should Psionic Flavor Be Altered?

    I strongly disagree. It can't mesh like that or it won't feel like psionics.

    Mike Mearls on D&D Psionics: Should Psionic Flavor Be Altered?

    What if the Psion used "power" slots like the Warlock spell slots? I'm against any sort of ability to swap spell slots and psionic "power" slots. It doesn't feel right, but it makes multiclassing a psion with a spellcaster a horrible option power wise.

    Mike Mearls on D&D Psionics: Should Psionic Flavor Be Altered?

    I didn't even think about multiclassing. If Psionics, is a point system or a scaled powers based on disciplines how does it even multiclass with a spell caster in 5e?

    D&D 5E (2014) MUSING: An Evergreen, static Fifth Edition...

    I think we will see setting expansions (a la board games like Talisman) with new rules and spells and monsters, but they will be self-contained and not eat away at the core. This cordoned off approach will keep the system from getting bogged down and allow game masters to pick and choose easier...

    Mike Mearls Talks (er, Tweets) About the Industry

    I like the idea that they keep rule expansion limited and mostly setting specific so that the game is not over-burdened with bloat. I don't want to feel pressured to allow some psionically-infused, pixie vampire at my table because a player has just bought the newest splat book. Keeping the core...

    Mike Mearls on D&D Psionics: Should Psionic Flavor Be Altered?

    What if WotC only develops psionics for a single setting "expansion"? It would seem logical that this would be for Dark Sun, but the Eberron "expansion" is likely to be produced before Dark Sun given it's popularity. If WotC is going to treat rule set expansion in 5e like board game expansion...

    I would like an update to the Realms. I think they need some new genuine adventures set in the Forgotten Realms to justify a new campaign setting book, but could we at least get an article by Greenwood with an overview of the changes. I still love 5e's rule set. I feel Pathfinder is at the...
