    D&D General So… psionic powers are no longer purely mental?

    Sorry, this is old news, but I was looking at the Unearthed Arcana about Psions and noticed that the "Psion spells" have verbal and/or somatic components now? I thought psionic powers were purely mental, as opposed to magic, which requires gesticulation, shouting and the blood of a virgin ox...

    D&D General Manablade: Magic wand/blade rolled into one?

    Has anyone seen any examples in any book of a magic weapon which also functions as a wand, and provides a +1 to +3 bonus both to melee attack rolls and damage rolls, as well as spell attack rolls (as a Wand of the War Mage would)? Given that it would act as a wand, it could serve as an Arcane...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Buff Chamber

    Using Glyph of Warding, you can essentially get a location-specific contingency-style trigger for when another spell will take effect. There are many differences between GoW and Contingency: Location: It is location-specific because the glyph gets canceled if it is moved more than 10 ft from...

    D&D General Why is the multi-classing spell slot math so weird?

    Consider Alice, a character who is an Eldritch Knight 7. They get 4 level 1 slots, and 2 level 2 slots. If that character then becomes a Wizard 1, the multi-classing rules say that their slots are now determined by their full Wizard level + a third of their EK level (rounded down). 1 + 7/3...

    D&D General The latest Mario Galaxy movie trailer came out!

    And we got a look at the flower in action. I’ve been wondering how best to represent the flower in D&D. Fire Bolt, Sacred Flame, Produce Flame…? Well, based on this latest trailer, I think Produce Flame is by far the best fit, given its ability to be held in hand to produce an illumination...

    D&D General The "Ease of Long Rests" as a metric for describing campaigns / DM styles?

    When hearing arguments about which class or build is stronger, there are often a lot of assumptions. Some obvious ones may include: Susceptibility to MAD: if using standard point buy, then MAD is often a big issue, whereas if using some custom stat rolling method, then it may be different...

    D&D Movie/TV How would you build characters for a KPop Demon Hunters campaign?

    At first I thought they’re bards, and they swing fancy blades, so maybe bards of valor. And if we’re going there, then maybe one of the three can be a bladesinger instead, since it’s basically the same abilities, but with better spells… but then I figured, they cast very little, if anything at...

    D&D 5E (2024) Multi-Cantrip Build: 3 / round with BS Extra Attack, EK War Magic and Haste? (5 with Action Surge?)

    I’ve read threads converging towards the consensus that BS Extra Attack and EK War Magic can be combined. I’ve also seen threads converging towards Haste being combined with the above abilities to cast an extra cantrip with the single extra attack it provides. By the RAW, it seems to me that...
