It'll probably be a while until we get actual psionic classes, so here's a spell list (and some class tweaks using it) to let you play a psionic character in 5e. Magics of the Mind: Psionic Classes for 5e D&D

Hi everyone, I got working on a conversion of the Birthright setting for my own use and I thought I'd share it with you all. It is focused on the adventuring-level playstyle rather than domain management, and it uses feats for bloodline powers. Birthright 5e D&D Conversion Document

What do you think of this idea? You can play a non-human and start with a feat, but you give up some of your racial abilities, including at least one ability score point and several miscellaneous ability. Your feat has to come from a pre-determined list of thematically appropriate feats for your...

Woops, double post.

I have just uploaded 5e Conversion Notes for U1: Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh to the downloads area. These are notes based on the monsters available as of 6 September 2014 -- those available in the DM Basic Rules, the Hoard of the Dragon Queen supplement, and the Player's Handbook. This may...

The Queen's Cavaliers The Queen's Cavaliers is a tabletop roleplaying game set in an alternate fantasy France, circa the early-to-mid 1600s. Inspired by the Three Musketeers and other swashbuckling stories, TQC's combat system is flexible and designed to be entertaining, with more options...

So says Mike Mearls in his post that also announces Monte leaving:

In AD&D, when you were multiclass, you declared it at the beginning of your career, at the same time that single classed characters chose their single class. I'd like to see that be the default in D&D Next, and I'd also like to see a limit of 2 on the number of classes you can have. So when...

I really hope the Sense Motive (3e) / Insight (4e) skill doesn't make it into 5e. I think it clobbers the heck out of roleplaying and common sense when PCs can just ask "is he telling the truth?" and roll a d20 and find out the answer. (Yes, even if the DM makes the roll instead of the PC, it's...

Here are some purported actual mechanical details about 5e, posted over at Giant in the Playground forums. I wonder if this is legit info. Admin edit: it's been proven that this information is fake. See post 104 in this thread for more information. -- Piratecat

WotC is sure doing a lot of polls as part of their D&D Next process. Sure, some are vague, some are confusing, some are poorly worded. Some are even controversial! (Gender-based ability scores, anyone?) But they're still polls, right? And who doesn't love a ticky-box? So here's your chance to...

It occurs to me that most 4e powers and class abilities are written in a way that they could be used fairly math-agnostically. E.g., nothing in the writeup of an Encounter or Daily power defines what the attack roll should be, just something like: Attack: Intelligence vs. Reflex Hit: 2d6 +...

Note: updated below In the DDXP NDA-limited play reports, there was one scenario that stood out for attention: Turns out that was all just something one DM thought would be a great idea and not at all part of the 5e system they were playtesting: This makes a lot of the "system reports" we're...

Quickie rule: When you make a mounted charge using a lance, you use your mount's Strength bonus instead of your own on the attack. Discuss.
