3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

[Chris G 2000]

@Selganor It's a longer term plan for me. I plan to chip away at it slowly. If you want to discuss it more that's great. Let's open another thread

 

[Chris G 2000]

I posted twice by error

 

[Steampunkette]

I'm also toying with the idea for a quick (run in 2-3 hours) adventure for Dark Sun which could also be a starting point for something like an A5E Dark Sun Starter Kit. If you are interested in helping to compile stuff I can open a new thread for that

GM Binder also has at least homebrewed attempts for a 5e version of Dark Sun. 1. Dark Sun Player's Guide 5th Edition D&D by Toucanbuzz 2. Dark Sun Player's Guide 5e by JayStripes This one does have a Psion class in it.

I prefer the above option actually, but mostly because I'm not a fan of the path of least resistance method; ie, "just reskin existing 5e elements".

That being said, @Steampunkette 's psionic options are my go-to for all 5e-related games.

True. Sometimes, it's better to just reinvent them the way you want them to be rather than converting something that's already there.

Thanks for the links to the resources folks!

I just got my copy of the fixed version of the book, and with perfect timing! My girlfriend is wanting to practice DMing, so we're going to do some 1-on-1 sessions, so I figured we'd try out material from your book at the same time.

A little teaser:

Next month's thematic toolkit, Itinerant, is Cleric/Esper/Ranger. So look for a new Esper archetype and Esper/Cleric and Esper/Ranger synergy feat chains in that.

SQUEE

S'how you know you've made it in Level Up. Purple Martin makes material based on your work.

Speaking of Multiclass Esper... Am I blind or what are the Multiclass rules for Esper?

I didn't put any in, in hindsight. Int 13 seems like the way to go, though. Insight for the skill.

 

[Selganor]

If one wants Esper to be really flexible, how about:
"Light Armor Proficiency plus either Medium Armor Proficiency or one Esper Skill"
since not all Esper got Insight

@Steampunkette what's next for you? Any fun stuff you'd like to give us insight into? Based on Paranormal Power, I'd very much be inclined to back/buy your next project, unless it's something totally not interesting to me (example: another dragons book)

I think she was planning on working something for martial characters.

Works for me!

Yup! Working on Martial Artistry. Including some new damage-centric Flourishes and Aegises for the Savant, new combat-oriented archetypes for non-martial characters (not Bladesinger but kinda Bladesingy), four new martial traditions (Duskwood Sniper, Inquisitor's Brand, Serpent's Grip, and Thundering Bombard)... Guns. Other stuff.

Might do a weapons system? Probably gonna try to include some sci-fi heritages and cultures, the Eco-Terrorist Druid, Breacher Fighter... Y'know. For games where they're of interest.

 

[Corinnguard]

four new martial traditions (Duskwood Sniper, Inquisitor's Brand, Serpent's Grip, and Thundering Bombard)..

The first martial tradition sounds like it was made for an O5e Gloomstalker Ranger who has the Archery Fighting Style. The Inquisitor's Brand tradition makes me think of PF1's Inquisitor class. Inquisitor – d20PFSRD I am guessing this martial tradition is for Clerics who are feeling a little roguish. Thundering Bombard for the Artificer class? Or for the Fighter (Gunslinger)? Fighter: Gunslinger (HB) - DND 5th Edition Serpent's Grip- something the Nedraz to play with?

Hmm...heritage specific combat traditions?

The first martial tradition sounds like it was made for an O5e Gloomstalker Ranger who has the Archery Fighting Style.

sounds very much like a tradition focused on long range/stealthy weapon use. like "hang off a tree by your legs while you snipe a dude 600 feet away with a longbow" type stuff.

The Inquisitor's Brand tradition makes me think of PF1's Inquisitor class. Inquisitor – d20PFSRD I am guessing this martial tradition is for Clerics who are feeling a little roguish.

my guess is a lot of lockdown/marking stuff.

Thundering Bombard for the Artificer class? Or for the Fighter (Gunslinger)? Fighter: Gunslinger (HB) - DND 5th Edition

i mean, obviously it's about guns, but i can't help but feel like it's going to be a very aggressive ranged-focused tradition. stuff like rocket jumping or shooting people into other people or bullets through multiple people or shooting stuff (maybe even spells?) out of the air to detonate it early.

Serpent's Grip- something the Nedraz to play with?

the vibe i got was grappling type stuff. like, maybe preventing certain types of actions/spell components, or being able to negate and/or travel with a target's teleport if you have them grappled.

like "hang off a tree by your legs while you snipe a dude 600 feet away with a longbow" type stuff.

Or hanging out of the dimension pocket, you created with your Rope Trick spell, by your legs while sniping away.
