That's the division of power in trad games. You talk to your GM and they help, or you step out, or you live with it. You can't make someone play the game the way you want. Not sure what solution you're looking for here.

Because the thought process wasn't "How can we make more and better product, thus serving our customer base?" It was, "How can we get even more money from our customers, thus serving our shareholders?"

Since you don't suffer stat loss if you succeed on the psionics roll, the ability isn't annoying to use. Its annoying to acquire.

I was talking about the stat loss for failing the roll.

WotC was making plenty of money off of D&D before they decided they needed to find ways to make more.

Why didn't your DM just say they didn't like psionics and didn't want it in their game?

Of all the people I game with, or have gamed with recently, and their gaming friends I know of, only a couple have heard of Draw Steel or Daggerheart, and it's because either I told them or they are following the hobby as closely as I am. The tip of the iceberg is pretty small, and mostly just...

Yeah, in one of my favorite fantasy RPGs you literally can't without special training.

Yeah, to me those are fundamentally different activities, and they don't feel the same at all.

I don't think any game designer not working for WotC should expect more than that, even if sometimes they get it.

Armor, particularly heavy armor, is really unappreciated in a lot of RPGs IMO.

I would say you're pretty lucky (or working for a bigger company, which is also pretty lucky) if you can.

Will folks be able to back this late? I love this product but I'm just not going to have the cash when the Kickstarter ends.

I've always had a hard time threatening barbarians in combat. Magic damage just doesn't cut it, and they're resistant to everything else.

Are you doing side initiative? What one PC has the damage to drop another PC reliably in one round, and why do they keep always going first?

I spent about six months doing that with the 4e rules, after we bounced off it for regular play.

Please note that in all your examples, the character's patron is an active part of the campaign that appears and interacts with the character regularly. Mephisto, the Devil, Galactica, Malbolge...none of them are ignored nonentities in those stories. Read my comments above and you'll see that's...

If someone talks to me about a problem they're having with the rules, the first thing I'll suggest (if they're sure it's a problem) is to houserule it.

Well first of all, a narrative-based supers game? I can't imagine a campaign with a better excuse for PC specialness. 100%! Secondly, you know where I stand. My preference is that the only differences between PCs and NPCs is that the former have a player at the helm, and our attention at the...

So what I'm hearing is, Discord is "easier" because of inertia. Great.
