Tieflings are once again also not Devil only. As the entry goes on about Demons, Yugoloths, Night Hags, Succubi and more.

Also reconfirmed it again looking in the 2024 PHB, nowhere in the Tiefling entry is the word "Human" ever used. And Aasimar has the words "any mortal community"

2024 has gone back to Tieflings are Fiend mixed with something else. While not explicitly stated, the Iconic Bard in the art is a Tiefling of Elven ancestry who's possibly related to the Iconic Elven Sorcerer, while the Celestial Warlock art depicts an Aasimar of Dwarven ancestry.

My theory is that Half-Orc was mostly chosen, because players wanted to play Orcs but weren't allowed to play Orcs because they weren't in the PHB. And it's worse because they never really tried to make Half-Orcs look too distinct from Orcs unless they emphasized certain features of Orcs. I...

3.5e Tome of Magic had some interesting concepts but generally failed mechanically for the Truenamer. I was thinking more about the 2e Tome of Magic, which had some new spells and I guess what you could say were subclasses in 2e with the introduction of Wild Magic and Elemental schools of magic.

This could be for a book like Tome of Magic

My initial thoughts on these subclasses: Arcana Domain Cleric They seem to be all about undoing and countering magic, even more so with the free castings on dispel magic. Though I'll note it it's with Cure Wounds and not Healing Word that it can be used with. They don't get fireball, but being...

Aleister Crowley, though I don't see him being that villainous, maybe he's someone the PCs would meet and he keeps them guessing on what his intentions are, sometimes helpful and sometimes antagonistic.

I certainly hope they're filtering out certain things that aren't helpful, or least trying to get a better context of the results.

It looks like switching to the Unreal Engine has at least given the characters seen in the demo better faces than the previous Solasta.

So apparently they are switching to the 2024 rules, I think this would be the first video game that's a RPG to use the rules.

Even though a lot of people had problems with crystals and ectoplasm in 3.5e, it did at least have it's own unique flavour for the Psion. So I think there should be a spell where a Psion throws a crystal around, and it can even be an exploding crystal and do Force or Piercing damage. For...

For cantrips I wouldn't mind if they got Primal Savagery a Druid cantrip that seems to be something at least a Metamorph should get. I don't think any blade cantrips fits the Psion spell list, though it might be suitable for some subclass. I would have thought Elementalism would be more...

I think red with comments allows them to filter out the non-constructive criticisms, as I feel this time they have certain things in mind they aren't changing course on.

So Dhalsim as a D&D character, Metamorph Psion and some method of getting fire spells like with the Pyrokinesis feat...

So that's like after the Muad'dib takes over the planet Arrakis and becomes the Emperor.

There's precedence for Greys as a PC species, they did have D&D PC stats for the Fraal in 2e in something like a Dragon Magazine article to coincide with the release of Alternity. So the Fraal could be written as a PC species in 5e. Other species from Alternity could be brought over too.

The idea of Psionic disciplines from previous editions of D&D came from the idea of Siddhis and what Yogis were said to be capable of: Aṇimā: the ability to reduce one's body to the size of an atom. Mahimā: the ability to expand one's body to an infinitely large size. Laghimā: the ability to...

On to the subject of Blue as just Goblins who happen to have Psionic powers, any ideas on why there would be a side effect on Goblins having their skin turn blue? Would this have something to do with their Fey origins? Does this condition affect Hobgoblins and Bugbears, or is it like Nilbogism...

Anyways here's some of the existing Psionic species from before that I can remember: Githyanki: featured in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes Githzerai: featured in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes Elan: from 3.5e and a Paragon Path or something in 4e, Humanoids that became Aberrations and replaced their...
