    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    Ardent is one I don't think can be a class on it's own, as I feel it could be a Psion subclass even if those are built around "disciplines" or as a College of Ardor Bard subclass.

    Evil Drow Statblocks to Return in Forgotten Realms Rulebooks Later This Year

    And I would make things more convoluted for subtypes, coming up with another word each time... Genasi have... Affinities! Even if it's the same things as what Goliaths, Dragonborn, Elves, Tieflings and Aasimar have.

    D&D Movie/TV Netflix Planning Forgotten Realms D&D TV Show With Stranger Things Producer

    One time I tried to compare how much it rains in the UK compared to Vancouver, it apparently rains less in London than in Vancouver, but in many parts of Scotland it rains more than Vancouver.

    D&D Movie/TV Netflix Planning Forgotten Realms D&D TV Show With Stranger Things Producer

    Vancouver probably needs more productions, as people in the industry are complaining how there hasn't been much opportunities since the strikes. I guess Last of Us is winding down or wrapped now, but Avatar the Last Airbender I think is starting up again, but it may be more of a question about...

    Evil Drow Statblocks to Return in Forgotten Realms Rulebooks Later This Year

    I don't think they're going to bother releasing a Greyhawk sourcebook, as I was under the impression that the DMG detailing it is more of a freebie "make it your own world". Where a more detailed and specific implementation of D&D with things that sort of resemble "a standard" that they would...

    D&D 5E (2024) Urban Fantasy via D&D 2024

    There's a thing where I noticed that the Modern Firearms in the DMG are based off of what the stats for guns were in D20 Modern, where by design based on the interaction of feats such as Double Tap and Burst Fire and guns had to have 2 die of damage, whether it was 2d4 (for light pistols), 2d6...

    D&D 5E (2024) New Constructs, Plants, Beasts & Humanoids | 2024 Monster Manual | D&D

    As it probably should be, though I think a lot of Realms exclusive NPC statblocks like a typical Harper or Zhent probably aren't going to be tied to a particular species, but I could see there being a mix those generic and those that aren't.

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    I think the "use the Warlock chasis" idea is a good one like @Yaarel has been suggesting, if a Psion class uses power points for spells, then it's probably more prudent to recharge with short rests rather than long rests. It helps get around the 5th level (or highest level) spell slot nova...

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    I'm also of the idea that generally Bruce Cordell had the right ideas the 2nd time around with Psionics with the 3.5e Expanded Psionics Handbook. It was successful enough that all spellcasting classes 5e stole one of the big things that Psionic classes got in 3.5e, which was being able to...

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    Definitely talking about previous editions. Especially 2e psionics. If a DM has to learn about the 5 psionic attack and defense modes because of just one player or MTHAC0, that's already grounds for banning.

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    Most DMs who don't want to learn a new completely new system will ban it. I think that's a primary reason why Psionics gets banned. I think designers want their new things to be used by many groups, so I feel that Psionics should be "friendly" to casually invested DMs.

    D&D 5E (2024) Are the new default alignments of Goblins (CN) and Kobolds (N) more consistent with their current portrayals?

    I guess a campaign could go more likely go like this: There's some trouble with Goblin raiders PCs discover they're part of a Hobgoblin invasion force PCs find that the Goblins aren't being treated well by the Hobgoblins PCs befriend some Goblins, and the Goblins ally with the PCs to overthrow...

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    I've constantly argued that Psionics should just use what's in the already existing spell system. And that's exactly what the Psionic subclasses of Sorcerer and Warlock do. Burdening a DM with having to learn a new system just because one player wants to play a psionic character is not...

    D&D 5E (2024) Are the new default alignments of Goblins (CN) and Kobolds (N) more consistent with their current portrayals?

    I don't think they're too complicated to make as a PC species. Amphibious: You can breathe in water or air Leap: You can leap 30 feet once per round using 10 feet of your movement Speak with Frogs and Toads: You can communicate with frogs and toads by speaking to them. Speed: Your walking speed...

    And Bullywugs also got an alignment change too, they're Neutral now. I think most people had a hard time seeing them as evil too.

    D&D 5E (2024) Are the new default alignments of Goblins (CN) and Kobolds (N) more consistent with their current portrayals?

    I noticed the alignments of Genies have changed as well, one problem with Efreet especially was that there might have been too much of an overlap with Devils when they were LE as they already look a lot like them. Of course just because Efreet and Dao are Neutral now, doesn't necessarily mean...

    D&D 5E (2024) Are the new default alignments of Goblins (CN) and Kobolds (N) more consistent with their current portrayals?

    I noticed that some monsters in the new MM have gotten different default alignments. Most noticeable are Goblins being Chaotic Neutral (formerly Neutral Evil) and Kobolds being Neutral (formerly Lawful Evil) now. We've certainly seen the shift of Goblins becoming an unruly trickster type fey...

    D&D 5E (2024) Where to next, WotC?

    Having more themed rules expansions is good, something like Fizban's or Bigby's, a mix of DM and Player material around some subject. I think they should try some of the more interesting and unusual Magic the Gathering settings. Of course they should try giving Dark Sun or Spelljammer (a lot...

    Second person plural pronoun

    Those from the southern states use "All Y'all" which is the closest thing English has to words like Vous or Ustedes.
