    Other D&D Variant What is your favorite version of D&D offshoot/D20 fantasy today? Tell us why it is the best!

    I'm also very interested (and using) in what @mearls is doing both to fix 5e and to develop his own game.

    Other D&D Variant What is your favorite version of D&D offshoot/D20 fantasy today? Tell us why it is the best!

    I'm most likely to play Nimble, as my group and I like it. I really want to play 13th Age and Daggerheart and Shadow of the Weird Wizard, to see how they play. DC20 is being over engineered, and may never finish. We bounced off Draw Steel, but I think if we played it a few times people might...

    Unearthed Arcana New Psion update, Dungeons and Dragons Unearthed Arcana

    In play ime, it doesn't really change much to use points vs slots. You can call psionics not magic, but what really the difference? You're still causing the same effects mostly. We could have the same arguments over and over, or we can realize the ship has sailed. If you want to be on a...

    Unearthed Arcana New Psion update, Dungeons and Dragons Unearthed Arcana

    I'm bored with faux-medievalism, largely, I think. Maybe? In any event, I'd buy that for sure. And I'm scaling back my purchases.

    We really need a AI tag

    Wish they'd ban it here.

    I love this ability. Very flavorful and allows a couple things to happen. Big fan.

    Ego whip traditionally either causes damage, or decreases ability scores, or both, or imposes a condition. This does none of that. edit: I don't think it was in 4th edition? Not that I can see...

    Unearthed Arcana New Psion update, Dungeons and Dragons Unearthed Arcana

    Ten minutes of attacking every monster you can walk thru? That would be insane. It's a spell that allows you to move thru enemies and cause them damage. One round is the correct amount.

    Unearthed Arcana New Psion update, Dungeons and Dragons Unearthed Arcana

    Not that I can see. didn't like it when I read it, like it less now that I've thought about it. I think it should attack the ego of the target, like give it a condition, or cause damage (or both), though I hate most conditions in 5e...... edit: as a reaction, maybe it grants disadvantage on an...

    They could have, but they won't. They've made that clear at this point.....

    Unearthed Arcana New Psion update, Dungeons and Dragons Unearthed Arcana

    Is there not a telekinesis spell to crush one enemy as an attack? I don't see one....there should be..... There are likely more spells here than I'd prefer. Really, I'd like the subclasses to define the spells for the most part, but, again, that's more complex than WotC will likely do.....I'm...

    Unearthed Arcana New Psion update, Dungeons and Dragons Unearthed Arcana

    they aren't going to stop it from being a spellcaster. They just aren't. There is a lot to like here. The subclasses are distinct, which is nice. The energy dice are simple to use. This is as close as they've come to what I'd want in a psionic class (and I know they won't do what I want, so...

    This last part for us also. Good for those that do, but it's not for me.

    D&D General Games Economies

    As I said, though, these rules don't really interact with other rules at all. And, I don't think I've ever had a player in 40+ years quote a price from the game rules. Could just be the dozens and dozens of people I've played with, though.
