    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    No it can’t. If the lore is secret, the DM has no obligation to reveal it to a history check, even if they rolled a 30. History is about what your character can reasonably know. If the secret isn’t known to anyone, you can’t magically learn it through a skill check. Any DM allowing that is doing...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    That is not how it will end up working. What will happen is everyone will spam their highest level spells, end fights quickly because everyone is throwing around multiple level 9 spells, then short rest and do it again immediately after. It isn’t self-balancing, it’s just exploitative.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    So you’re saying you could “nova” by casting two level 9 spells, then short rest and cast them again next combat? When combats last 3 turns on average? Ya, that certainly puts a damper on the power scaling issue /s.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Of course I don’t, I’ve already psionically cast Suggestion so you’re already convinced 😉

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    They offered that in 2014 and removed it from 2024 because it’s hard to balance. Spellcasting is built around spell levels being available to a certain degree per adventuring day. Spell points allow you to effectively trade in a collection of low level spells to get a second 9th level, or...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    That special feature is called spells like Command and Suggestion not having Somatic components in the first place. Psions can still cast spells that don’t have Somatic components. It’s not like Artificer where every spell they cast HAS to have Material components (their tools). So don’t...

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

    Damn, thank you for the report! Was there an Artificer in your party? If so did you catch what subclass? (Mostly wondering if Cartographer and if it was effective).

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

    The Amazon preorder page has these extra preview pages, giving some hints as to the nature of the Campaign Tool Kits (each is a full chapter and the Sharn Inquisitive one seems to be somewhat spoiled by this) as well confirming the existence of both House Agent as a generic background and a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Potential other "rules expansion" books

    My guess is they will just bundle Mordenkainen’s Monsters of the Multiverse with the PHB and whatever new “of Everything” book they do next year. The species in there don’t need big updates.

    Dungeons & Dragons Announces Horror Subclasses Unearthed Arcana

    Their habits don’t really matter here, since they announced an October book. It’s coming out in October. That plus a horror UA means it isn’t a stretch by any means to assume it’s a spooky themed book. And yes, we have gotten multiple subclasses for the same class in books many times before...

    Dungeons & Dragons Announces Horror Subclasses Unearthed Arcana

    What makes more sense: WotC announces a mystery October book, right during Halloween season, and releases a horror themed UA for that book because it’s a generic “Horror” book, or… WotC playtests subclasses for a 2025 and a 2026 book in the same UA that’s out in early 2025? I’d place my...

    Probably either Sharn or an Airship

    If you don’t have D&D Beyond, you can do what everyone else does and buy them from your LGS.

    D&D 5E (2024) Potential other "rules expansion" books

    I hope we get one of these for all official settings they have touched, with new and update options.

    They are selling them as a bundle specifically for people who have not.

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Alternate Cover Revealed

    Counterpoint: 80% of their audience started with 5e and deserves their own versions of these things in the rule set they jumped into the game with.

    D&D 5E (2024) The 7 5.5e FRPG Subclasses Survived

    The video OP references never says 7, or any number for that matter. I think they just misremembered how many were in the UA when they posted.
