    D&D 5E (2014) Psionics in Tasha

    Fans of psionics who expect a more sophisticated set of rules will not be put off by it, and DMs can choose to ignore the distinction if they find it too much to deal with. I have never in my life seen a gaming grew that played by RAW 100% of the time with no modifications or reinterpretations...

    D&D 5E (2014) Psionics in Tasha

    If you know the rules, and if countermeasures are built into the system, just having a different set of countermeasures to magic and psionics will eventually become second nature. Once you know blocking telepathy blocks psionic invisibility, you will just check off that box in your planning when...

    Just having a stronger differentiation between Divine and Arcane magic would make a richer, more authentic game...

    D&D 5E (2014) Psionics in Tasha

    Psionics has been a niche concept since Day One. The fact that it has never been part of the Players handbook except as an appendix shows that it has never been treated as part of the core rules. So, no, it does not need to fit neatly into the core rules. There is no reason not to make it a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Psionics in Tasha

    It worked in 2E and if it makes thing complicated that just adds depth to system. Knowing different ways to accomplish something jut means you need to know multiple ways to defeat it. Up your game, play smarter, be more strategic.

    D&D 5E (2014) Psionics in Tasha

    I do not think they really tried very hard to make a complete system. They gave a half-hearted effort and it showed. So they came up with answers that no one was enthusiastic about. Flavour and crunch in a good rule system are one and the same. If your invisibility is based on telepathy, it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Psionics in Tasha

    But would it not be more interesting if they did operate differently from each other, so they had their own means of being foiled and manipulated? Do you not find all of that sameness redundant and uninteresting?

    D&D 5E (2014) Psionics in Tasha

    So much to unpack. Okay, if they make psionics into magic and use spells, I am just going to do a homebrew of my own or find a good third party set of rules. Part of the point of having psionics is to have a set of supernatural powers that has a different feel to it than magic and that means its...

    D&D 5E (2014) Psionics in Tasha

    Telepathic combat was a multi-level strategic game-within-a-game. Add psionic harbingers and constructs from The Will & The Way and you have a wide range of options. I always looked forward to a mental battle.

    Planescape Planescape: Fantasy Taken to the Edge (5e conversion)

    I can see Namers for different factions being backgrounds, but Factotums? That needs to be a class, no?

    So, it's been a few years, any updates for 4E, Pathfinder, or 5E?

    D&D 5E (2014) Overspecialization

    Specialization is the only way to achieve excellence, but have a Plan B, just in case. You should not be helpless if your primary attack is foiled, but you should strive to be as good at that one technique as you can, and you should look for creative ways to use your primary talent.

    D&D 5E (2014) Overspecialization

    The reason you have a party is so people can specialize then use teamwork to compensate for each member's deficits. When I played a barbarian who only used his trusty battle-axe the party's wizard once levitated him to the top of a tree so he could jump down onto a wizard's flying carpet to hack...

    D&D 5E (2014) Making technology eldritch

    Nanites multiply and get in everything, like sand. Some invade your brain and upload a mental virus that changes your personality, turning you into a savage killing machine. Other nanites connect your mind to other hosts, create a hivemind. Another type of nanite is like a tiny projector, get...
