    D&D 5E (2014) Psionic Spells

    My point was not that those powers did not exist, more that they can be a part of another discipline/science. For instance, Teleport like powers can be a part of metacreativity as pulling stuff from another realm and sculpting is similar to transporting through that realm. Or you could say...

    D&D 5E (2014) Psionic Spells

    Nicely done. This is something that I have been looking to do. The psionic disciplines are: Clairsentience (Divination) - this is a really weak one. it might make the most sense to combine this with another one. Telepathy (Enchantment) Metacreativity (Illusion) Psychometabolism (Transmutation)...

    D&D 5E (2014) Stealth

    I think the problem is that the stealth rules while they work they are needlessly complex and clumsy. Player says: am I hidden or not? DM says: well you did not attempt to hide, so you are not. Player says: well I am behind total cover. DM says: but that does not hide you. You might make noise...

    D&D 5E (2014) New setting idea: What if potions were permanent...

    Yes I think some side effects to potions would make a lot of sense and addiction is a very interesting way to do it. I am also leaning that things like gaseous form and invisibility could be activated rather than always on. Improved invisibility is very powerful in combat. It would be better if...

    D&D 5E (2014) New setting idea: What if potions were permanent...

    Ok, so I was thinking about Alice in Wonderland and potions of diminution and what if there was a whole city of small people because they had become shrunken. I was thinking how would I get player characters into something like that. Potions have shorter durations typically. Then it occurred to...

    D&D 5E (2014) How does the errata on hiding affect the mask of the wild ability of the wood elf?

    I think there is no parsing of attempting to hide and attempting to stay hidden. They are one of the same. I wanted to add that the observer has disadvantage to their perception checks due to the lightly obscured area. I think most groups do not do that. It used to be an automatic thing if the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Action Econ 101

    Ah I see, so a limiter, a second standard action would be too good and this is a way to inject a second action into the gameplay by having a secondary class of actions. This is done because features that utilize these secondary class of actions would be "trap" choices for players during...

    D&D 5E (2014) Action Econ 101

    As in quite useful to gameplay, or as a limiter, or perhaps in helping make character development choices, or all of these? If gameplay: How? What situation? Thanks for your feedback.

    D&D 5E (2014) Action Econ 101

    Other than being quaint what does this actually mean to you? How do you feel about swift/bonus/minor actions and their effect on gameplay?

    D&D 5E (2014) Action Econ 101

    This is where we will have to disagree. And really we can both be correct in this. I say there is an available bucket there to maximize. You say some character types are not able to maximize that bucket. Ok. Granted there are a fair number of bonus action casting times and directing spells is a...

    D&D 5E (2014) House Rules That Make The Game Better

    I like fiddling with rules. Though, I have not used some of these in games, I have used some. I think these are all rules that I have vetted well though. Presented in a way you can pick and choose these rules ala cart. I liked several of the rules presented in this thread...

    D&D 5E (2014) Action Econ 101

    Are you saying: 1. tying shoes is related to breathing 2. breathing and tying are unrelated activities It all matters how you define it, if you have during each turn: the ability to move a standard action a bonus action a reaction and technically you can be under a non-action effect You can...

    [5e DnD] Runeseeker Class (arcane half-caster)

    This runs up against the artificer too. The idea that you craft your magic is what the artificer is all about. I think this could fit that too. As a magic craftsman, this would be a pretty neat character. I like the martial-ness of the class. It is clear what it is doing and how it contributes...

    New Concentration Rule

    This is not possible, casters only have 4 1st level spells. With a few closet cases. I think this adds too many rolls and too much wiff factor. Oh look at the amazing powerful wizard, he cannot concentrate on two level one spells, kerflush. I think no roll to establish. I do think that...

    [5e DnD] Runeseeker Class (arcane half-caster)

    Just talking to theme and not mechanics. An idea to open it up further potentially for players to conceptually explain where their character's powers come from. Runes are neat and all but some may not be able to fit it into their game. What about binding spirits, or binding magic, or pulling a...

    Sorcerous Origin: Psionic Talent

    Neat. Conceptually I really like the idea of the sorcerer fulfilling the role of Psion. I would like a unique spell list though, or make this one change to sorcerers as a whole: no spell list, pick any spell and clear it by your DM to ensure it fits in you sorcerous origin theme. I would also...

    Psionics Coming Soon To D&D?

    To get to the heart of these, there is one discipline where you exert your mind and one where you exert your body. There are also a couple of lame ones that should be greatly reduced in my opinion (ex. blasty 3.5 psion). The ones that do not fit for me, however can still have powers just not...
