D&D 5E Psionics in a sci-fi D&D

[Mind of tempest]

I honestly don't know, although I'm not sure how niche it would be, or how (or why) a psion would rage (or "rage," if you're just using that as an example).

I personally am of the idea that they should have fewer "spells" than wizards or clerics, and don't mind if they had sort of a warlock chasis. But I realize that some people want each psion to be as varied as a wizard or cleric can be--not just a lot of psion "spells," but the ability to know lots of different powers at once.

a caster rage is more a description of something that improves the caster short term like rage but made to work with casters so using say spells is still an option lots of psions have been shown to let loose with all their power for some real explosive effects.

I read Dune in middle school, as had a number of my friends. I also watched the original David Lynch* Dune movie (theatrical and extended), been alive to play the Dune RTS game, watch the SyFy mini-series, and now seeing the new movie. (This is not to mention the Dune RPG getting most anticipated TTRPG from ENWorld how many years in a row?) I'm not entirely sure how its cultural impact has been minimal, especially among "geekdom." It's impact may not be as much of a pop cultural phenomenon as Game of Thrones, but its legacy has clearly been more enduring.

* David Lynch's involvement in the Dune movie is also part of its enduring legacy, particularly among Lynch fans.

Don’t forget the I’ll fated Jodorowsk’s Dune, a movie which never got made, became the subject of a relatively recent documentary, and inspired some cryptobros to make an extremely poorly thought-out purchase:

The Saga of the 'Dune' Crypto Bros And Their Very Pricey Mistake Is At Its End

In a dismal crypto climate, the group is looking to sell its 'Dune' bible and cash out its treasury. “Really wish this worked out better," the group co-founder said.

Also, I note there have been several Dune games: a CCG, 3 board games, 3 RPGs and 5 computer games.

The fact that Dune had both David Lynch and Alejandro Jodorwski* associated with its IP definitely has made cinephile heads turn.

* Who in turn was collaborating with Jean Girard (Moebius)!

Ah. I've heard it more as going nova.

nova is just using your highest spell slots at the moment all in one quick move I would want more of a temporary buff that makes it nastier but does not last too long unless you roll stupid well.

In the event that the enchanted things are for all intents and purposes indistinguishable from innovation, and feel like one can by them in a store or make one in a lab, then, at that point, better believe it, it is magic
Magic acts like a fantasy, whereas innovation is more like science proven.
