I'm very much about using hybrid 5e + 2e + fill in the blanks cosmology, so I'd still have Negative Quasi-Elemental (Dust, Salt, Ash, Vacuum) and Positive Quasi-Elemental (Lightning, Radiance, Steam, Mineral) mixed into the Elemental Planes (in 5e) that sort of still have the Para-Elemental...

I've been constantly saying they need to get some crossover with Arcane / League of Legends, with a Runeterra setting book. I think it's doable for a D&D setting. I guess they can wait for however many years for when one of the followup series to Arcane gets released.

The designers have stated somewhere like in a blog post or a tweet, that Feywild is a border plane to the Positive Energy Plane and that Shadowfell is the border plane to the Negative Energy Plane. But nothing written in any of the books has ever stated that though.

I think for Goblins (and Hobgoblins and Bugbears) the Fey ones that never left Feywild for the Material plane or other planes are mostly independent. Those who do associate with a court are mostly of an "Unseelie" court, but there are a few Goblins that could be Seelie.

In a way she's both copyrightable with a public domain connection. Much like how the X-Men character Destiny is Irene Adler a character from Sherlock Holmes who is public domain, but also is under Marvel's copyright.

I don't think the Unseelie was ever that "ugly" sure some of the more mischievous and ugly Fey do associate more with the Unseelie, but the typical "Fairy Princess" that's Unseelie is in my mind going to have a more "Gothic" aesthetic as opposed to the more traditional "Fairy" type aesthetic.

That's certainly a point, but then 5e went back to using Titania a public domain character, one of William Shakespeare's characters, for their Summer Court.

The thing I wonder is 5th level just right for such a spell or should it have been 4th or 6th level.

So Far Step which was in Xanathar's Guide was a 5th level spell with 1 minute concentration duration and the ability to teleport 60 feet as a bonus action for every one of those rounds. Theoretically it's like being able to cast a longer range Misty Step 10 times. But I noticed that many...

The 2024 DMG mentions the Gloaming Court which is the Unseelie Court stand-in and the Summer Court which is the Seelie Court stand-in. 5e Feywild is a mixture of elements from all previous editions, with some of it's own things like Domains of Delight. I remember that 2e Monster Mythology had...

One thing I liked from one of the old UAs on the Mystic was that one of the disciplines had a bunch of abilities that required a Charisma Save to avoid a bunch of psychic damage. I certainly feel that the number of new spells should be at least twice as much as what's presented in that current...

I tend to go with what Aleister Crowley said when defining magic, in that "Any act, if in accordance with the will, is an act of magic." So something like Psionics certainly does fall within magic based on something like that. Though based on that quote, one could argue that doing something...

You could make the same argument about why Enchanter Wizards should use Charisma instead. Some of it comes down to the base class and them wanting to have the class just use one ability score for powers, as it's down to D&D being a class-based instead of skill point-based system. And to use the...

Based on the fact we have Artificer as the 13th class, and signs pointing towards Psion as the 14th class with it's 2nd UA showing it's likely going to be in something. Given that they are going at a slower rate at for introducing new classes than they did for 3e and probably never are going to...

Based on the fact that Intellect Fortress is also an Artificer Spell, means that they will at least consider if every new spell they make could be on the Artificer or Psion spell list. It's a positive sign that they'll support those 2 classes with new spells beyond whatever initial release this...

Going more into the idea of the 3.5e Psion and it's 6 disciplines, the only ones that aren't sort of covered by the subclasses in the UA playtest is Clairsentience and Metacreation. Seer Clairsentience in 3.5e was basically Divination with some more directly useful for combat spells. But I...

The Metamorph can easily get at least 15 AC at 6th level using a 1st level slot for Mage Armor (which is better than light armor) on top of the Mutable form, if not more depending on what they put into Dex and other build options. Just a few tweaks and they'd be alright for some second line combat.

Some thoughts on character concepts: A Psion Metamorph is a really good idea conceptually for a Simic Hybrid who's probably part of the Simic Combine in Ravnica. Tentacles and whatever other adaptions they have to go with their bone blades and viscera launchers. It's like those ideas were built...

Because Psions are expected to do a lot of the Telepathy thing, they are expected to have many of the same Enchantment spells that Wizards and Bards get. We're at a point that if there's a new Enchantment spell it's a definite "gimme that" for the Bard and the Psion.

The ability to bypass magic in earlier editions combined with the DM having to learn a completely new system lead to an instant ban of Psionics. Now the only reason for banning psionics by a DM will be for completely thematic reasons.
