The Mystic was definitely pulled too thin by trying to be "all of Psionics" in one package, but we now have the Soulknife and Psi Warrior, Aberrant Mind and Great Old One Patron, so another take on the Mystic can be narrower in scope

This all gets reinforced by the DnD fantasy fiction that reinforces those DnDisms. And in more recent fantasy fiction, the Iron Druid series is all about a Druid that shapeshifts and is considered super powerful because he can use cold iron and wield magic.

I frickin' called it. Myself from the DMG cover thread:

Lol, I must be one of the few Incarnum fans, I've a few half-baked attempts at an Incarnum system for 5e.

Given the Warlock's popularity and the absolute outrage at the UA that tried them as Half-Casters, there is market for spellcasters that don't function the same as the core spellcasters do, and I do see Psionics as a way to fill that desire. It's also what I'd like from the Artificer, I'm not a...

If you're going for that many, make it a nice 69

I think that expecting Psionics to get a full list of powers that are slightly reformatted spells like in 3.5ed is a challenge. And I'll agree that that implementation was really just spells with slightly different mechanics. This is also a problem for Magic and Psionics, in general. Spells...

I also just liked a lot of those more experimental books. Magic of Incarnum, Tome of Magic, Tome of Battle weren't perfect, but I appreciated the innovation.

Hmmm, I'm awaiting the conundrum I'll have if I vastly prefer the alt cover, because I prefer the standard PHB over the alt ... do I go for consistency or just get the different style covers?

To be honest, I'd sooner use a renown system or something else. Maybe feats. Or to go to 4e ... something I think 5e is missing might be adding Themes as an optional add-on to PCs. Themes can be a bit more universal

Honestly, the poor organization alone is enough to sink it. Yes, it is well written with good advice, but unless you read it cover to cover and filled it with sticky-notes, good luck finding it again.

I even remember hearing the complaint that 4e was "incomplete" until PH2 brought the Barbarian, Bard, Druid and Sorcerer back. Of course, 4e compounded that with the Role/Power source grid, there were calls for a Martial Controller right up to the end until Essentials tried it.

Honestly, I've never seen the cartoons, so whether or not these are cartoon characters doesn't really matter much to me. I just ... quibble with the art a little, like the magical arc from Venger looks odd to me.

Hmmm. Conceptually, I like it, but I'm not completely into this.

Q: What is the right number of classes? A: There isn't ... points to thread as the obvious reason why For myself, however, I'm more or less in alignment with 5e. Or at least, what 5e has done feels the best for DnD. I'm happy to be not in the bloat of classes in 3.5, 4e and Pathfinder, and I'm...

Pretty

I quite liked 4e. While I had enjoyed 3.5 ... as a player, the first time behind the DM screen was a disaster and only when 4e rolled around did I give it another try. And, tbh, it did a lot of things really great. Minions, monster roles, and easy to just eyeball encounter math made it a breeze...

Seconded. It helps that Eberron is my favourite setting, but it is still a striking cover

I've tried out the Mystic class from UA twice (both times playing the Awakened Mind, ie the Telepath subclass), and played an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer. The first Mystic was a Tiefling for a one-shot that didn't get to do much. My second was a Changeling Mystic for an Eberron campaign. They were...

Just zoomed through Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir. I quite liked it, it was fascinating and a quick read.
