    D&D 5E (2024) What should the 15th Class be?

    Max damage on a crit, once per short rest. That's a 5% instant death to most creatures, 100% on unconscious targets. Also. All high level rogue can put people unconcious, and then stab them while they are out. Still a subclass.

    D&D 5E (2024) Best Blaster 2025. When 30d6 damage at level 7 Isn't Enough.

    Or dragon sorcerer 17/ Tempest 3. With Transmute metamagic. For a partially maxed Meteor (lightning) Swarm for 20d6+120+5 damage. Tempest don't get any other damage boost, unless you count the 1 extra channel divinity at 6 is tempting. They don't even get lightning bolt as a spell (call...

    D&D 5E (2024) Best Blaster 2025. When 30d6 damage at level 7 Isn't Enough.

    Tempest Cleric + Chromatic Orb = auto bounce. Also, I expect a very lucky Wild Sorcerer will beat anyone. I once did Charm Person-> they succeed, +Surge: disadvantage on next spell. Sleep (with disadvantage) -> 2 sleep, one lost a turn +Surge: Max Damage Chromatic Orb (Max): 4d8(max) 32*2...

    D&D 5E (2024) Abusing True Strike 2024

    Correct. Rogue's still like Commander's Strike.

    D&D 5E (2024) Abusing True Strike 2024

    Biggest abuse is probably on a rogue with warcaster and a friendly Dissonant Whispers or Commander's Strike. But that doesn't really have much to do with summoned weapons.

    D&D General Is this invocation idea reasonable?

    I would drop the Agonizing Blast prerequisite.

    D&D 5E (2024) Abusing True Strike 2024

    It's not that. It's because it's a spell. You can't trade a shadowblade for anything. "If you drop the weapon or throw it, it dissipates at the end of the turn"

    D&D 5E (2024) Abusing True Strike 2024

    Yes. Do note that Truestrike would use Cha to attack with, not Str. Also, 1 level of warlock for Pact of the blade can fix it. Possibly stack with Devotion Paladin, for extra accuracy. No by RAW. Truestrike requires a weapon "that is worth 1+ CP". Shadow Blade isn't worth money, so won't...

    D&D 5E (2024) [+] What does a non-spellcaster Psion need/look like?

    Many classes can get out of being bound and gagged. Druids for instance, just wildshape out of it. Or GOO warlocks, or subtle metamagic. So I don't see it as a big deal. But how about their weakness be metal? Tie their hands and put an metal helmet on them, and they are helpless. There's...

    D&D 5E (2024) Psions, what would the Seer and Shaper look like?

    Seer could be support. Giving advantage and accuracy boost. Possibly be a dodge tank as well. Reducing enemy attacks. prescience warning: reaction when a creature is hit by an attack Reduce the attack by your energy die, potentially causing it to miss. If this attack was against you, you do...

    D&D 5E (2024) [+] What does a non-spellcaster Psion need/look like?

    IMO thinking is more of a continuous activity. You can think harder for a limited time, but push yourself too hard and it causes self harm. Thus my 2 suggestion had at-will effects with points to push above the limit, and spend HD if your past the points. Many other suggestion seem to fall...

    D&D 5E (2024) [+] What does a non-spellcaster Psion need/look like?

    To toss out another idea. You have a small pool of points (5) and regain a few (2) at the start of each turn. So you can enter combat and use an "encounter" power that cost 5 points, and then use your 2 point "at-will" on later turns. Or do a 3 point blast turn 1, use 1 point reaction to...

    D&D 5E (2024) [+] What does a non-spellcaster Psion need/look like?

    Cast a narrow list of thematic spells at-will that upcast as you level, but not as high as normal casters. HD to amp spells (metamagic) Points to cast spells that shouldn't be spammed (shield, cure wounds, Command). These also upcast as you level.  Psion 1: Spend 1 point to cast a Psion spell...

    Unearthed Arcana New Psion update, Dungeons and Dragons Unearthed Arcana

    Not neccicaraly. If you cut the max spell level, then you can boost the number of times you can cast it. Possibly even at-will. Personally I would probably do something like..  Psion 1: You have X spell points. Spend 1 point to cast a Psion spell. 2: Get Psionic Dice, you can use as a bonus...

    Still can be cleaned up.

Your limb retains the form of the organic weapon until you return the limb to its...

    Is it me, or does Organic Weapon have a lot of extra words? Like why would you ever take the magic action to change them? When you take the Attack action, you can use this feature before you make the attack roll.... Your limb retains the form until you .... return the limb to its previous form...

    My only guess is they made a check while teleporting. Or more likely the 2 different designers didn't talk to eachother. Rare, but they still exsists. Help an ally Arcane Archer to use Banishing Shot.
