Fantastic! I always thought that 5e took a bit of inspiration from Castles & Crusades (one of my favorite 3rd party D&D "clones"). So I am so glad to see the Trolls doing a 5e conversion. I hope to see more. Trollzah!

Where did you hear that there will be a Dragonlance setting next year? Everything I heard suggests that it'll be the Realms for the foreseeable future. I am hoping to give the mystic a try here in a few weeks. The question for me is whether the class can work as the Dragonlance mystic or not...

The beauty of D&D is that you're able to make your own rules, then share with the community. My recommendation here is to use something existing, and then modify it to be what you want. What makes an elf into a snow elf? Resistance to cold? Ability to travel across snow and ice without a...

I was hoping to get my copy on Friday. Maybe it'll be back up soon?

Isn't it a bit late for College of Wizardry? It came out in 1998, after all. ;)

Here is the feedback I gave on the mystic flavor: In regards to the flavor of the class... 1. The name mystic is a good fantasy name, but it isn't as representative of the class as the name psion. Please do not use psionicist as a name, as that is a mouthful. 2. The mystic may be confusing to...

A distinct possibility. WotC forced the 3.5 sorcerer on DL back in the day, rather than letting us develop one that felt more like the SAGA sorcerer. We made a good compromise with the Academy Sorcerer prestige class in Age of Mortals. Many, though not all, of the spheres of mysticism could be...

By that logic, we should stick with the name psionicist. ;)

A Dragonlance might be run by an old schooler, but not necessarily. There is a portion of the fan base who continue with the 3.5 materials in Pathfinder. Likewise, a number of us also play Dragonlance using 5e. Back in 1e/2e, this was the case. Sovereign Press/Margaret Weis Productions took...

What would be optimal would be if they could meet in the middle. What I fear is the situation where a fan of the psionic mystic comes to Dragonlance and finds that DL's version of the mystic is a totally different beast. So if the 5e psion lands up being called the mystic, it would be nice if...

One of the spheres of mysticism in Dragonlance was called Mentalism. The Fifth Age mystic really could be divided into three D&D classes: the cleric (without gods), the druid, and the psion. It was the power of all living things, and of death. Really, domains can cover a lot of that. That...

When 3e came about, the sorcerer class was introduced. Dragonlance already had a sorcerer in the form of a Fifth Age role. Sovereign Press, who held the Dragonlance license, tried to create an alternate class to fit the DL sorcerer more, but WotC mandated that the DL sorcerer be the 3e sorcerer...

Green Ronin beat Paizo to it. ;) The Psychic's Handbook Excellent book, btw. BTW, how about an opinion poll on the name? Include mystic, psion, and psionicist as options for names (and maybe some others)?

The mystic was also a class from Dragonlance. In the Dragonlance Campaign Setting sourcebook, the mystic was the divine counterpart to the sorcerer, and predates the favored soul. It gained a single domain, which helped to define the character. Prior to that, the mystic was more of a role in the...

I liked the idea of variant rules articles like this, but I thought it could have been done better. Vitality seemed a bit clunky to me. While it's not a system I would normally use, I could see it for some modern or scifi D&D games. Alignment - I sure would have liked to have seen some...

This has me super-excited. :) My guess is that the psion will be a subclass of the sorcerer. The mechanics match up with prior editions pretty well. That being said, I was hoping for a full class with subclasses based around the psionic disciplines.

Maztica had a ball game based on the Aztec ball game. I tried running it once, but it didn't turn out well. :(

I played something similar back in the 2e days. There was a kit for the Fighter called the Beast Rider. I came up with the concept of a Thundercat riding Battle Cat. I love white tigers too. Admittedly, a few liberties were taken with this character, and it was my early roleplaying days. ;) I...

One of the subclasses that has intrigued me in 5e is the Oath of the Ancients paladin (Green Knight). I know the mechanical differences, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to differentiate them from a thematic role-playing POV. They're both champions of nature, just in different ways...
