    D&D 5E (2014) Couple new Ideas, gauging interest

    Also looking at giving the Bard, Warlock, and Wizard "Revivify but Weird". Wizards get it -late- and catch a gem in a gemstone they can put into a construct. Warlocks get it early and it just straight up makes you undead. And then Bards get to do an epic song and drag their Chorus of friends...

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

    You're limited in how many long rests you can take in a day, however. So the DM's answer should be "No." Or, better yet "You don't have time because things are still happening!"

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

    I went with the noetic "Limit Break" You expended your Psychic Focus (a strong ability for retaining Psi Dice) to temporarily gain two small (1d4) psi dice. You could then use them to augment powers as you like, but your Psychic Focus was expended until you took a short rest to recover it, and...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Should a Psion Be Able To Do?

    Just throwing that out there, not that I expect you to read it. But lemme try to put it another way: In Sumerian myth, there is no "Magic". Only Power. The Gods had power, monsters had power, and some mortals had power. Inanna, Goddess of Love and War, had the power to turn men into women and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Couple new Ideas, gauging interest

    So I'm looking at doing some new spells and design around the core spellcasting classes to make them more mechanically distinct... and I had a few ideas I wanted to toss out to get opinions on. 1) New spell components. Yes. We have V,S,M... but what about P and C? P would be "Partner". Spells...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Should a Psion Be Able To Do?

    "Magic" covers everything supernatural or not-normal to our world for some folks. And that's okay. In most stories and settings, that's all there is. It doesn't mean, however, you cannot have a setting with multiple types of power. Superhero Comics, for example, have weird science...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Should a Psion Be Able To Do?

    Sure. Or not. Depends entirely on your definition of a Wizard and what they're capable of. For you, it's everything. For me? Not so much. And definitely not in the same way.

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

    I was thinking the Sorcerer should use Spell Points and have the ability to sacrifice hit dice to recover spell points, directly, instead of hit points, actually. To represent the "Body Fuel" aspect a lot of characters go for. Which would reward Sorcerers with high Charisma and Constitution and...

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

    ... so... coldest hot take on record 'cause I've made it evident, before: I hate that the caster classes have been homogenized to the degree that they have. Sorcerers and Wizards should have different spell lists. Some overlap, sure. But largely distinct. With Wizards getting lots of extra...

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

    What verb did I miss?

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

    While I can see that could be a problem, you'll never know if that specific content would be allowed until you ask your DM. "Hey, I know we're doing 5e, but I'm really wanting to do a warlord. This Marshal class is pretty close and I think it might work and be balanced. Would you mind taking a...

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

    It's not in the 2024 PHB... But it's in 2024 until they release a new version that supercedes the old one. Same for alllll the other spells that have been written. Heritages, Feats, Etc.

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

    Yes and no... Birthright would be a amazing setting for the Warlord/Marshal. But also: Adding a class to a book that is otherwise largely DM-Exclusive in it's design encourages players to buy it, expanding the target audience for that book which increases sales beyond just the DMs who aren't...

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

    Why not both? A5e has the Marshal which is a Warlord, and Martial Artistry's second stretch goal is the Swordmage. Win-Win!

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

    I don't disagree with your assessment... but I'm literally just one person spinning wheels in my head on my own. Surely a collective of people could spin wheels better. I got a lot of feedback from the 3pp community to make things better than the first draft, after all. They'd have that -and-...
