    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    My specific interpretation of psionics is "they must do yoga to activate their powers" as per OD&D, so you better be able to hold that Eka Pada Rajakapotasana as a somatic component of your 9th level spell

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    We said that in 2017 with the mystic. Just because it's got a UA doesn't mean it'll be official.

    D&D General Eastern Dragons in 5e

    I simultaneously think eastern dragons belong in D&D but we also have too many damn dragon subtypes. In a perfect world, eastern dragons may have been the "neutral dragon" panoply instead of gem dragons (which just seem weird to me, a mishmash of ideas). But with fifteen "true dragons", I don't...

    D&D's The Book of Dragons Comes Out in August

    I feel like there have been three or four official hardcover books all about D&D dragons published in like the last couple of years. I can understand Fizban's but is the appetite really here for so many naughty word books about naughty word fictional animals? I also understand that like a lot of people...

    D&D 5E (2024) Elemental Adept is a Bad Feat. Elemental Damage Vs Radiance Etc

    Elemental adept isn't for general casters but it is for subclasses that lean into an element. An evocation wizard shouldn't grab it because they always have the option of lightning over fire or vice versa. A storm sorcerer doesn't have that option. I usually grab elemental adept on artillerist...

    D&D 5E (2024) How's the adoption of the new Goliath types going?

    I'm of the opinion that it should be easy for players to have a species that resembles an iconic monster or monster type from the game. We've already got fiends and celestials and dragons and elementals covered, and you could kind of see elves as a proxy for the fey, so to me it makes sense that...

    D&D 5E (2024) How's the adoption of the new Goliath types going?

    I've seen someone play a fire Goliath but they weren't really leaning into a lot of the giant stuff and it seemed to me like they were mostly using it as a proxy for the fire genasi; this player was new to the game and only had access to the new player's handbook so they might not have even been...

    D&D 5E (2014) Aerial combat in 5e

    I recently played a paladin in 2024 5e and I quickly learned that the topple mastery is meta for aerial combat. Aerial combat should consist of dudes chucking tridents at flying monsters or jousting at each other with lances like in that old arcade game, because the aim is to force the enemy...

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Alternate Cover Revealed

    With all of the art of this specific metal construct, I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't merely a new design for warforged in aggregate but some specific NPC

    D&D Eberron: Race for the Crab Temple Coming to PAX East

    Eberon is a really broad setting. I wouldn't be surprised if art nouveau and ended up being the aesthetic for Khorvaire or even Breland or Sharn in specific, but then you've got something western inQ'barra and something totally foreign in Xen'drik

    D&D 5E (2024) You Can Now Pre-order Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    naughty word that neo noir aesthetic is slick. Good enough to make a rabbi eat pork hot damn. Not sure if I like the change to warforged aesthetics but I'll wait to see the final product

    D&D 5E (2024) Creative uses of Thaumaturgy, Druidcraft and Elementalism?

    Thriwing open a door or window you know someone is on the other side of using thaumaturgy can be funny and maybe even cause damage if your DM is cool. Also helpful if you're like the tactical artificer I played once and you wanna toss in a dog cloud smoke grenade from afar

    D&D 5E (2024) Is it possible to balance the six abilities?

    Can they? Yeah. Do they? Almost never. The only DM I've ever encountered who uses alternate ability checks with any regularity is myself.
