I can also see adding "Wild Talent" as a subrace too to mimic the feel of the Wild Talent. I would do the Core PHB Races, because we wouldn't be able to get coverage outside of that. They would all get the Psionic talent feature and a racially inspired use of it. It could even tie their Psionic...

Also, I think the Monk will need a subclass with psionics as it can have a strong psychic flavor. For Dark Sun I think a Psychic Barbarian would give a strong pop of Athasian flavor as well. I wish people could realize that the subclass is a decent way for characters to represent Wild Talents if...

This would definitely go the way of "Essentials" in 5E but, as someone who doesn't get to squeamish about classes stepping on each others toes or gentle and optional revisions, I wouldn't mind if they did Sorcerer(Variant) Psionic Mind. Similar to the Class Variant UA rules that were released...

I saw something similar, planes seem very key to all these concepts. Weirdly though, this one made me think of factions. I’m not saying that’s where they are going just “huh, that feels familiar.” but Bard of Creation seems a lot like the Godsmen, whose Factol was a bard. The Domain of Unity...

Zeus, Hera, Frigg, Oenghus, and Horus, Osiris, and Hathor should be added to the Unity Cleric list

Well I mean it's all arbitrary, but my idea is that if they had made the Sha'ir in 2e and had warlock as an option they would have made it a warlock, but they didn't so they made it a wizard. Their special feature was that they could swap out spell slots in a way that kind of traded a...

Maybe tether is supposed to replicate the Sha-ir gen servant, but it's a clunky workaround that the Pact Boon isn't given until 3rd level, and the next opportunity to give an otherwordly patron feature to alter it isn't until 6th level. I do like the idea of the Sha-ir being a warlock (2nd...

Also with Proficiency Versatility they could easily also add the following enhancement to the 3rd level Eldritch Knight and Arcane Trickster "Arcana is now considered a class skill" this means they could retrain something to Arcana if they want their character, but without bumping up the overall...

Agreed, but only with those classes, Cleric, Druid, and Wizard, with Religion, Nature, and Arcana, respectfully. Or maybe give it as a later level bump that reads something like "You gain proficency in Nature, or if you are already proficient in Nature you gain expertise in Nature."

There are some more of these "Add double your proficiency" mechanic keeps popping up. I think it could help to make "expertise" a defined rule. It could also state There could even be design space opened up for DM's to key things off expertise.

So for the Monk, I am not sure if it grants proficiency? This seems like it is for Racial weapon proficiencies and multiclass characters.

I would love if there are any more references to why Half-Orcs were removed. I know some of the reasonings claimed later, but if anyone knows where I can find some exact quotes from the time, or from people directly involved I would greatly appreciate it.

Interesting, I guess since it's name translates to "faerie hound" and in Celtic tradition, they come from the otherworld, which is roughly analagous to DnD's feywild I always think of them as fey. I do like the idea of the hounds of death having a supernatural representation of the natural...

Great write up. Can you explain why you chose to make it an aberration rather than a fey?

I mean we could have these debates about so many things in the rules. For instance I feel that Thieve's Cant should be part of the Criminal Background not the Rogue Class, and I'm tempted to even say that Druidic should be an option of the Acolyte (Choose Celestial, Druidic, or another language...

I think the flavor of the wizard, that they are students of magic and that is how they cast spells, giving them Arcana automatically makes a lot of sense. I was thinking if doing that. I can also them changing their ribbon ability of copying their school twice as fast, to having expertise in...

So like Simek is a source you could quote, and you did. So thank you. But your premise that some Norse entities in the myths were primarily animistic versus theistic is what I'm interested in. There are a couple reasons I'm not convinced of your thesis that Norse mythic entities were not...

Do you mean current Scandinavians, or pre-Christian Scandinavians? Who are you talking about, and which texts are you referring to when you say "their own Scandinavian sacred texts" I have to admit, I thought we only had Roman writers detailing the beliefs of the pre-Christian era, and only...
