[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 7997588, member: 14159"] Well, two obvious places the rules can go are psionics and epic-level rules. Both of which are well-established parts of D&D, to the point of being pretty integral to official D&D settings (Dark Sun and Eberron are pretty intrinsically psionic, Forgotten Realms is crawling with Epic-level characters and the first dedicated epic-level book for D&D was setting-specific to Dark Sun), that 5e has avoided or only vaguely touched on. I know they're controversial topics, judging by other threads on them, but you'd think that "hey, let's make a psionics supplement for the new D&D edition" wouldn't be THAT controversial since 2e, 3e, 3.5e and 4e all had them, and how there were two epic-level rulebooks for 2e, an epic-level sourcebook for 3e, and epic-level rules in the core rules of 3.5 and 4e. They're both established enough concepts in D&D that 5e will always be somewhat incomplete without some official treatment of the subjects that does the subject matter justice (the vague epic boons of the 5e DMG aren't really a substitute for actual epic-level rules) [/QUOTE]
