[QUOTE="Todd Roybark, post: 7964712, member: 6920677"] I’ve been wary about Psionics in 5e, and have not really liked what has been produced before, but I really like this. Psi Dice is a creative design, and pushes the design space of the system as a whole. That alone is priceless. Mind Sliver is a great cantrip...it deals damage and includes the Saving Throw penalty of the Bane spell without costing Concentration. I now want to change my ranking of the Bane spell in ad hoc’s thread. 😀 Fighters’ get some great, flavorful subclasses...I like the Echo Knight. I like this more. Soul blades on the Soul Knife feels like it might confuse people. A casual player might balk at 1d6 Psychic damage vs a 1d8 rapier, despite the obvious potential to convert your Sneak Attack to Psychic damage. The 1d4 bonus action, second attack is also a nice little feature to help a rogue connect with Sneak Attack, if their first attack misses. Don’t tell [USER=6689464]@MoonSong[/USER] or [USER=1465]@Li Shenron[/USER],(😄) but the Psychic Soul is a [I]perfect[/I] Sorcerer theme. I renounce my membership in the Wizard’s Union, Local 818, and plan to make a Deryini Psychic Soul Sorcerer character, at the first available opportunity. My only quibble is Gith raced PCs will actually be non optimized for the subclass, which seems odd. This also sells me on: [I]no separate Psionicist class is required[/I]. Sorry for those that want one. [/QUOTE]
