[QUOTE="Gadget, post: 7860701, member: 23716"] So, at first I was kind of disappointed in choosing a wizard subclass for the mentalist, but then I realized that Int classes are few and far between, and besides the spellbook, this seems to fit okay. It certainly seems to get more subclass abilities than many of the other wizard sub classes. I'd like to talk a little about the spells, most of them look as good or better than comparable spells of the level, especially getting to actually use [I]friends[/I]. [B]Ego Whip[/B] - Looks to be able to total shut down a caster, and make a martial char's day come to an abrupt halt with disadvantage on attacks and saving throws. [B]Id Insinuation[/B] - This seems to be [I]Phantasmal Killer[/I] at level one with the fear affect swapped out for incapacitated. And they did it right by having the target take the damage [I]before[/I] they save to end each turn. Seems a bit powerful. [B]Intellect Fortress[/B] - Seems okay for the level. Does not stand out too much compared some of the other spells. [B]Mental Barrier[/B] - Nice effect for a reaction. I can see it be used quite a bit, depending on the campaign. Then again, I can see some games where it would see little use. [B]Mind Sliver[/B] - Good debuff for a cantrip. May be too strong. [B]Mind Thrust[/B] - Seems like an okay effect. [B]Psionic Blast[/B] - Not too far behind the overclocked Lightning bolt in damage, plus a nice debuff and push back. Probably a bit too strong. [B]Psychic Crush[/B] - This alone should tell you that they really have changed their thinking since let out that [I]Ali-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting[/I] stinker. Not far behind that in damage, two levels lower plus stunned save ends? Wow. [B]Thought Shield[/B] - Sounds pretty powerful for its level. I'm not sure what it means by the recipient's mind not being detected. I assume its for things like detect thoughts and mind spike, but if they mean scrying and such, wow.
