    D&D 5E (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    🤷‍♂️ They probably aren't going to make it regardless... but even if they did make it, the odds are such that you most likely are not going to get what you specifically want. I mean that's the case with every single thing WotC makes-- they cannot and will not please every single person. No...

    D&D 5E (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    Well of course. My comment was referencing people under the assumption that the product had gotten made. If the Warlord gets made with non-magical healing of hit points, those people who are bothered by that will just have to deal.

    D&D 5E (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    Tactician, Inspiring Voice, Resourceful combatant, and Medic (to name just a few inspired by the 4E Warlord types.) Tactician moves allies around the battlefield and grants them actions or activities. Inspiring Voice buffs allies and makes them better at doing what they are doing. Resourceful...

    D&D 5E (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    And of course the other way to look at it is that the new members of the design team just might not have an issue deciding that for this one specific class that is being introduced 12-14 years into the game's lifespan (at the time of its eventual release) that "hit points are a narrative...

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    Because they are all working on 17 different projects at once, their playtesting is outsourced and when the documents come in there's probably multiple people working on trying to bring all of that documentation together, the amount of time they have to iterate on certain parts of certain books...

    D&D 5E (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    There is zero reason why a Warlord-like class could not exist within the game. Hell, you can take a Bard right now... make a handful of specific spell selections... remove ALL the fluff from the class, its features, and its spells... and create the foundation of a Warlord. The Bardic...

    D&D 5E (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    This is actually the time when a Warlord might actually gain traction-- when the preliminary work on books for late 2026 and into 2027 are occurring-- because these are the books that will not have input from the two remaining names that were on 5E14 that decided not to make a Warlord in the...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    You know... at this point I think with everyone getting so bent out of shape about all of this junk related to the Psion and psionics, I think it's best that we all vote 'Red' on the upcoming survey and kill psionics once again. Obviously people can't handle having it in the game.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Why not? It hasn't hurt 5th edition up to this point. Having a Psion class with somatic components and costly material components next year is not going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back on this issue. Just because you can't handle it doesn't mean it has to be done.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Ignoring rules you don't like is entirely point. This is exactly what you should be doing, and why it doesn't matter what WotC chooses to do in their books.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Non-spellcasting psionics are already available for people right now. If you need it that badly, you can actually buy it and start using it TODAY, rather than stewing in the soup of your own anger for the next 12 months for what WotC might eventually get around to doing. This is why I can't...

    D&D 5E (2024) Where to next, WotC?

    Of course it will be. We are like a quarter-century removed from its original release. They are not going to just cut and paste the book together from everything written back then. If original Dark Sun fans can't handle that... they should stop reading anything new about it and just use the...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Then YOU ignore it. You don't need the book to say it. Unless you just can't deal with the fact that WotC's beliefs in psionics don't match your beliefs in psionics.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Deal with it. You aren't getting completely component-free psionics written down in the book, so take what you can get. No Verbal, no Material except for costly ones, and some hand gestures. And then you go ahead and ignore what the book says for the bits you don't like. Or, you know, if you...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Don't tell me... tell the people who are complaining about WotC's psionics.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Of course you can have an opinion. But you asked a question and I answered it. If you didn't want the conversation to continue past that you shouldn't have bothered to respond back. If a person lays out what they want to be a rhetorical question but people keep responding to it... then that...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Don't play 5E then. If you want scary 1E psionics, play 1E. But if you ARE going to play 5E... then you gotta dance with the date that brought you.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    The psion crowd should be happy they actually got a psionic system this go 'round that actually removed Verbal and Material components, as that had NEVER been offered as an option previously I do not believe. Psionics always included components because WotC didn't want to give the class an...

    D&D 5E (2024) Psion Class: Green/Yellow/Red?

    Green. Any changes that I feel psionics should have that WotC did not put into this I am more than capable and happy to add myself. After all... if I really wanted/needed a very specific type of psionic mechanics set, I would have found them or created them for myself years ago. I'm not going...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    The narrative and story of the class. It's like asking why do we have bards, clerics, druids, sorcerers, and wizards when they are all full casters with the same exactly spell slot progression? They are all just magic-using spellcasters with the same game mechanics, so why have more than just...
