5e elevated enemy HP in an attempt to not end fights in one round. That weakend damage spells down and made save or suck (save or die is not more) the de facto go to for spell value. It is why legendary resistance is the only reason fights last more than 1-2 rounds.

Meh. I don't want to play a glorified commoner who can cast "I win" X times per day.

Thanks, that what I was wondering

I'm a Kalshatar psionic who is trying to embrace nature of the Path of Light, so I will never use the subclass abilities of my chosen subclass. 🙄

I was curious if 4e changed that.

That's can easily run into the Favored Environment issue with the ranger: your abilities are very dependent on what kind of campaign your DM is running and where it takes place. Your DM running Rime of the FrostMaiden? Well, Arctic druid is your only option. Tomb of Annihilation? Congrats jungle...

The Quori are certainly have a alien mindset, but the Kalshatar don't. They use remnants of the psionic energy of their Quori ancestors in a way that purifies (il-Yannah). A Kalshatar who practices those teachings rejects the corruption of the Quori. It should also be worth noting mind flayers...

Just the other day I was discussing if a witch should be based on an arcane caster or a druidic caster. Both sides were valid interpretations of witches in popular culture.

That's kinda the point. Haste grants an extra attack. On the players turn, if the player wants to use it. The player is not bound to any obligation to use it if they had other intentions (cast a spell, flee in terror, whatever). If Bob the Warlord, says "Tracy paladin, roll an attack and add d4...

For what it's worth, the complaints were about the maneuvers which forced movement, though I've heard a few complaints about the attack granting power feeling mandatory rather than an option. Together, you find the "Bob on his turn used sone ability to swap spaces and made me attack."...

That's also a big reason why it was so polarizing. A lot of players have a "don't play my character" rule, even in situations that are benevolent. So the warlord would have to trend a fine line between consent and ability. Simply put, a warlord better have a way to attack that doesn't rely on...

The third edition psion was a mix of New Age mysticism, Eastern Yogism, comic book superheroes, crystalmancy, with a touch of pulp sci-fi and cosmic horror. Not every psychic character wants to be secreting slime from their pours or summoning tentacles like they're in an adult anime (I've seen...

I said gish, but I'd be more interested in a overly magical warrior without needing spells (akin to Bloodhunter) that isn't bound by the shackles of being mundane. Like level 1 your doing supernatural stuff.

It's like rumspringa, but with more violence!

I still refer to backpacks as "the invisible leather TARDIS"

Hard disagree on Warlock. It was even worse because the point was to unspookify psionic. I don't mind psionic power having a tie to the Far Realm, it shouldn't be the only take on it. Especially for people who want to X-Men style psionics or Kalshatar/Dream psionics. The warlock was far too down...

Easy enough to houserule but for an official D&D product like Dark Sun, Wizards has to be explicit.

We as in "the people playing the current edition and have no interest in going backwards."

We aren't interested in D&D the Micah Sweet edition. We're interested in what is the most fun for the most amount of people.

The point is most players forget the cart, mule and horses anyway, so they end up monster chow or worse. Because a horse is expensive. The person watching it is expensive (and honesty, what's Joe Commoner going to do against the ogre who has horse on his menu?) and none of that matters once you...
