A human is a miserable pile of secrets!

Remember: for all of D&D's woes: we actually got a decent movie out of it. Magic the Gathering has lingered in development hell since the oughta...

I would have been happy with a fairly straightforward conversion of the 3.5 psion. Start with the wizard chassis, give them spell points equivalent to slots, tailor the list to psychic spells and give them a no component variant in casting them. Not unlike what the artificer did. Yes it would...

I think Dungeons & Dragons '86 would be a better bet at this point.

I think that a mix of an actual psionic class or classes and psionic subclasses would be sufficient. I don't need the nine psionic classes like 3.5 had, but I definitely don't feel four subclasses is suffient.

DMG Alt Cover?

Even as someone who wants to see a psion in D&D, this is just semantics. It reminds me of the supernatural fighter argument: it does not matter what the effects are as long as you don't say the "M" word. Magic can take on a variety of forms in D&D. Arcane, divine, primal, psionic, etc. I want...

Idk. Something unique that sorcerers and warlocks only can do? Psionics seem like as good a place to start as any.

If the Aberrant mind is going to be our psion, it needs more psionic themed spells. Especially ones that are sorcerer and warlock only so wizards can't gobble them up. There were a number of them in the Tasha run up only to see all but Mind Whip get dropped.

You can break them up into a couple more thematic classes. Champion and battle master should be rolled into base classes, arcane archer/EK/rune knight and psi warrior all could be part of a gish class. Warlord, cavalier and samurai part of a knight class. I feel rogue has a little more...

I think it's a matter of expectations. An adventure that is essentially a series of dungeons crawls in a variety of settings for high level PCs with a universe ending plot was always going to be a heavy railroad. I expected nothing less. I applaud their audacity to even try to write a...

To me, the core idea was a tour/look back at the settings and modules that were beloved. Vecna isn't the plot driver, he is merely the excuse to do the tour. It's truly a journey, not a destination driven module.

Occasionally, I see the "barbaric ancient pagan child sacrificers" and the "neo pagan hippie" used, but both in a more specific context. Druid, paladin, bard and warlock are all sufficiently old and rarely used that most people would probably use some version of a fantasy character concept to...

I want the alternative reality where Thunder Rift is the sample setting in the DMG...

And that is a good reason why I don't like mixing rulesets.

Tradition. Ok, slightly longer answer: they all look human. Elves are thin humans with pointy years, dwarves are short, squat humans with beards, halflings are tiny childlike humans with big feet, and gnomes are tiny, bearded humans with slightly pointed ears. Even half-elves (slightly less...

Exactly, ever see a strongman contest? Those Dudes are built like barrels and look fat because they are actually using muscle for strength, not decoration.

An opinion stated as fact.
