Just making sure you can see this:

Personally, increase the Hit Die to 23d8, lower the AC to 13, drop his CON to 15, give him resistances instead of immunities, and boost the damage output. Give Unarmed Strike 8 bludgeoning / 11 cold, Ice Knife 10 piercing / 9 cold, and water whip 8 bludgeoning / 11 cold.

Tome of Battle is here.

Anyone got insight about Fantasy Grounds ? The price seems steep, but there's a lot of shillers. Wondering if it's deserved.

Or even if someone has a dl link. One can hope.

Could you build a PC entirely around the Fabricate spell (And other similar themed abilities) and actually be good?

What's the best way to go about this?

UA Artificer Wizard?
Transmutation Wizard?
I'd say UA Artificer but they don't get Fabricate until fucking 18.
Forge Cleric?
Forge Theurgist?
>implying any DM would ever let you take Theurgy

>>52178111
not at all. you can easily reflavor elves or put an interesting twist on them in your setting

>>52178013
Had an idea for Monk using multiclass, go Shadow Monk to level 6 then do a 4-6 in Rouge Assassin (more likely 6), then either 2 in fighter for AS and the rest Monk or nothing in fighter.

Any good or should I just fuck off?

>>52178067
The rest of my party are all martial classes. I'm the only spell caster. All my known spells are utility just so we can accomplish things outside of combat that don't equate to "I want to hit it with a pointy bit of metal"

Hey guys, how do I make Black Manta?

I know I'm making him a Warforged, but I can't be sure what else I should do. Is Artifacer the right class for this? Or something else?

Okay guys rate my character idea.

Kobold Psionic
Uses his magic to make him feel equal to people,
mystic quirk is that he thinks his tail will disappear every time he uses a psionic discipline

Soul knife is the damage dealer option from Mystic
Avatar is the buffer/debuffer option from Mystic
Awakened and WuJen are the BF control options from Mystic
Nomad is the stealth/mobility option from Mystic
The fuck is Immortal? back then it was the combat option but now sould knife does that way better

>>52178198
>only disable is Sleep
if you're a warlock yes essentially, but why the fuck aren't you using that spell slot to hex+eldritch blast for 1d10+1d6+CHA damage? if you're a wizard no. tasha's hideous laughter is fairly strong, ray of sickness is ok damage with a debuff, grease knocks enemies in a 10ft area prone, color spray blinds enemies, and for god know what reason if you're in melee as a wizard, earth tremor also knocks enemies prone.

and if you needed dpr maybe you shouldn't have picked wizard? warlock already has better scaling and strong options for dpr and wizard is better of trying to debuff and control the battlefield than doing 1d12 damage a round. at level 1-3 i guess that's acceptable but beyond that the spell becomes painfully obsolete. if you're wanting to blast as a wizard, ice knife gives you AOE and magic missile doesn't require an attack roll in the first place and has more consistent and better scaling damage.

you can argue the merits of witch bolt all you want, but when spell slots are limited and spells known are limited (unless you're wizard) you're going to want some level of efficiency for your spell slots. with witch bolt you'll kill, what one enemy per casting? and they can break the witch bolt easy by just moving out of range or going into their cover. congrats, you just used a spell slot for a range 30 lightning damage poison spray!

>>52178268
Wanted to but DM wants to stick to base classes, only exception he makes is a rework of a class.

If teddy Roosevelt was a PC, what would his class/race be

>>52178365
Normal polymorph no, True polymorph after making the effect permanent yes.

>>52178427
Mystic.

>>52178238
Wizard would give you access to Fabricate at 7th level, unlike a cleric who would get it at 13th. If you play straight Transmutation you can use the Philosopher's Stone benefits, while a theurgist would allow you to have a decent AC thanks to heavy armor, plus
FIRE
IMMUNITY
is pretty sexy. It depends really on what the rest of your party is like. If they need martials, go theurgy, if they need support, go transmutation.

>>52178397
Durable front-line tank. It has far more defensive options that Soul Knife, which is important - unless your theorycrafting doesn't account for creatures ever doing damage to you.

>>52178427
Human Immortal Mystic.

>>52178445
>Durable
It has monk's AC, you be able to compare to Soul Knife you need Dex/Con to be 16/18 which isn't that easy to achieve, he also needs Int for DCs and THP. Dunno if +1 to HPs will be enough.

Imo it feels like it doesn't have a defined role.

Also
>Tank
You can't attrack aggro, and taking into account you aren't going to deal much damage (compared to other options) you aren't worth focusing

>>52178397
>Soul Knife
>Damage Dealer
Soul Knife is ass.

>>52178526
Sorry, let me rephrase it: Melee damage dealer.

>>52178111
Yes trying to invent your own races is fucking stupid.

>>52178323
Artificer sounds about right

>>52178445
>Durable front-line tank
Wujen is more durable
14+Dex, from the start it has more AC and also isn't MAD as fuck
Also other options have proficiency in Shields and Medium armors (Avatar) or Medium armors (Soulknife)

>>52178510
It requires a lot of stats but it's more efficient if you get them. Plus if you actually get hit, you'd rather be an Immortal than any archetype.

This hurts him a little, but only if you try to pick to many disciplines, focus on damaging ones and you're fine as a melee damage dealer

That makes me think.

Is it possible that the Dark Elf men survive only off of pussy?

We know that they don't have much food, and that they're a horrific, brutal matriarchy where the men are barely above slaves.

Is it possible that there are parts of the Underdark where Dark Elf men, in times of famine, can only survive by eating pussy instead of a meal?

>>52178651
Phantom Knife makes things a little crazy though. Rolling against AC 10 at 14th level and onward is a definite advantage.

We don't use inspirations.

Psionics don't fit in swords and magic fantasy. At least not in the hands of the heroes. They're meant to be strange and alien powers from another realm, if they exist at all. You're never going to read a Tolkien book or Game of Thrones book where the heroes are running around with psychic animu powers.

>>52179357
>You're never going to read a Tolkien book or Game of Thrones book where the heroes are running around with psychic animu powers.
Magic in those sorts of settings, for the heroes, is typically much more subdued and usually more divine in nature, as opposed to D&D with people learning to blow shit up by being a nerd.

>>52179393
Well, I mean I've seen people literally argue that laser rifles and plasma weapons are part of standard fantasy in one of these psionic arguments before, so I guess you're right. People on /tg/ have absolutely no idea what genres are :^)

>>52179415
>Less AC than pretty much all the other options
>No way of attracting aggro

>>52179357
D&D isn't meant to imitate any of those things. It's its own beast, full to the brim with the supernatural in all of its forms. D&D settings are kitchen sink settings and psychic shit is a part of fantasy, like it or not. It's not a part of Tolkein or ASOIAF fantasy but it's still fantasy.

>>52179452
>laser rifles and plasma weapons are part of standard fantasy
They are, if you're reading books, watching movies, or playing fantasy games that are old enough to vote.

>>52179452
>Standard Fantasy
There is no such thing.

It seems like trying to apply the logic of a D&D world to a fantasy series wouldn't actually make for good books.

AC isn't the be-all-and-end-all. You're going to get hit. Immortal minimizes the effect of being hit.

They're a mixed bag. Dragonlance is corny as hell but charming in how much it takes itself seriously. Drizzt novels are very hit-or-miss. Elminster novels are often impenetrable because they are written by Ed Greenwood for Ed Greenwood and just assume you know everything he's ever written. Brimstone Angels I've never read or heard about, but maybe that silence speaks volumes.

>>52179789
They're talking about the Inner (either 6 of them or 18 depending on whether you like quasi- and para-planes; elemental themed) and Outer Planes (either 9 or 17 depending on whether you like the transition planes; alignment-themed) + Feywild, Shadowfucker, and Astral.

>>52178890
Lowering point buy value just makes people more inclined towards 15/15/15/8/8/8-like stats. Because at least normally you can sacrifice one of those stats to turn a couple of those 8s into a 10 or even a 11 or 12.

If anything, you should slightly increase the stats.

The feat is probably just gonna increase whoever's main stat it is anyway (So a dwarf cleric would be effectively +2 wis +2 con, which just means they're gonna have 2 17s at level 1 and put +1 on both of them at level 4) and ... Well, it isn't a bad idea, but there's only so many +1 feats and some are much better than others.

Mystic is honestly what martial classes should have been. Tons of interesting out of combat options added on. You'd just need to refluff it out of psychic damage, and you'd have a better fighter class.

>>52179882
That's a good way to design the shoulders for one, and I suppose I probably took a bit of it's design from that subconsciously as well as Dwemer machines.

The other main thing I based it off was the Fabricator from Nine, with bigger Modrons looking more like it does.

Starting a new game with some friends that are new to d&d. We're sticking to vanilla just to make it easier (no multi-classing at first; classes and races from the PHB.

We got a Fighter, Druid, Warlock and a Wizard and I'm trying to think of the best class to balance the party out. Melee focused Cleric, Paladin or a Rogue just to have a shit ton of skill proficiency?

>>52180059

Unless you're gonna refluff the acid damage to physical and can somehow rationalize conal dragon breath attacks as... I dunno, yelling so hard that people take damage.

But Gygax DMed his games just like the way he designed adventurers like The Tomb Of Horrors, so you're wrong.

You throw a weapon of your choice at an enemy within 30 feet. If they fail the con save, they are winded and disorientated by the force of the blow.
>Acid Spray
Whenever you're hit, you may launch a sweeping counterattack against anyone in range.
>Breath of the Black Dragon
With a great deal of force, you throw a weapon of your choice 60 feet, wounding anyone that gets in its way. If they make the con save, they are able to endure some of the damage.
>Breath of the Green Dragon
You take a vast array of weapons you're carrying and you throw them in a broad arc, inflicting great damage on any enemies caught in the spray of metal. Again, they're able to endure some of the damage if they succeed on the con save.

No, but I took traded ability points for the lucky perk just because I wanted to play a human. It could easily be a halfling.

Any good idea for a Wish?

i'm playing as a sorc 4/paladin 6 and just got a wish ring with one charge.
I need spell versatility or tankiness, as the dm tried to kill me several times. Also, I don't want to break the game or make my pc overpowered.

>>52178967

Sure it does, some attacks just can't be avoided.
The type of save doesn't matter, it's refluffed.
Of course it's good.
Okay assuming any weapon, depends on how you want to refluff it.
Not ridiculous at all. It's a sensible refluffing of psionics so they can be achieved without magic.

It fails the ants in a bag test, which tells me it needs fixing.

No other "when you kill" effect stacks, and this one shouldn't either.

I need some help figuring out the encounters for my first custom made adventure in roughly 15 years.

The PC's are met by a gnome named Porten Tucker Swigsprocket, whom says his drinking device was stolen. He calls it P.orten's (or P.ortable) I.ntoxication S.ervicing S.ystem, or PISS for short. So he asks you to bring back his piss that was stolen by kobolds, he tracked them to a depleted mine, it's not their mine but they are there temporarily to get ready for the trip back to their warren.

Eventually they get to the mine after some social encounters, it's night-time and they just reached the entrance...

Now I'm stuck, I have some vague ideas but nothing concrete? The characters will be around level 3 average, and I am DM'ing this saturday.

>>52180543
Do we have any information about what the adventure coming after Yawning Portal is supposed to be about?

>>52180550
Give it a CR minimum required. Either 1 or mystic level divided by 4.

>>52180543
wtf I hate Mearls now

>>52180564
The only one(s) confirmed are/is Project Dust, which Pendleton Ward contributed to, which is due out in September. It might be the Forgotten Realms one involving the Ring of Winter, but that's not clear, other than that the Ring of Winter one is coming out this year.

So is mystic as busted as it seems?

>>52180550
Would limiting you ability to regain until you've spent at least the amount you last gained fix it, or would it become too debilitatng

I played the second Mystic revision to level 8 and it was actually underwhelming.

Once again, people fall for the trap of theorybuilding classes at their maximum power with whatever stats they wanted, not a point buy / standard array character that has to survive from level 1 through 7 and spends six whole sessions at level 4.

>>52180555
Them find a group of people positing to be miners who were caught unaware by the kobolds, tied up in some off-shoot room. They will agree to help you extricate the kobolds from their mine, but it turns out about 3/4 through the mine that they are actually a group of thieves that were also using the mine as a hiding place for their loot. However, after a few kobold encounters, their numbers will be depleted and they could easily be defeated and/or captured and interrogated about the treasure's location. Make sure to include a lot of gags about what's yours and mine.
At the end they can fight some big fat kobold leader who thinks the PISS is some sort of holy grail, and he will be taking the piss to his kobold leader or whatever.

Or have the gnome be in cahoots with the thieves and have everyone kick the shit out of the gnome because gnomes deserve to be fucked up

So is Mantle of Command just Warlord?

>>52180593
It's extremely versatile without having to worry about spell preparation.

In terms of damage, it's got repeatable nova capable of 120~ damage but it requires a successful discipline attack roll and a failed Strength save by the enemy.

For me, the primary issue with Mystic is the versatility. Most of the archetypes have 10 disciplines by 20th level, at which point they're able to do almost anything any class can do. They can be a social butterfly, stealth master, damage dealer, team healer, damage sponge, skill monkey, extremely hard to hit and extremely mobile at the same time.

Ardent will always be my favorite thing from 4e. It was one of the few characters fun inside and outside of combat, no matter what. Also let the DM drop some cool plot device by making me feel strong emotions nearby.

>>52180781
If it helps, the three-times-a-long-rest 120~ damage nova can be accomplished by 10th level.

And to be honest, the versatility becomes a problem long before 20th level. 5 disciplines known (by most archetypes) by 5th level is already enough to make the Mystic very versatile in comparison to other classes at the same level.

Yep.

For Gary and his group the gaming aspect of RPG was as important as the roleplay aspect.

>>52180836
It's the Attack action, not an extra attack. Outside of their turn.

That means the extra attackers get 2 hit, the rogue sneak attacks and grapplers can grapple.

i mean, he's not entirely wrong. 10 disciplines with at least a handful of powers each which covers a wide range of different abilities that can cover every party role to a certain extent. not to mention you start with three of them (unless you're a knife asshole). they either need to reduce the versatility to encourage focusing on specific roles or just nerf everything so that they can do everything, just not super well.

>>52180790
It's a joke.

Recently, the other UA were very bland and uninterested, with topics such as 'Mass Combat' and 'Traps Revisisted.'

The joke is that the OP is mimicking that by pretending that the Mystic release was about another silly and pointless topic instead, such as Food and Provisions.

>>52179793
I can get behind non-goofy looking, but that looks too modern, with its helicopter blades and led-looking eye. I like some things about the default modrons, because they seem more like what a pre-modern person might imagine an automaton to look like, like Hephaestus's mechanical men.

my big twist idea was that the gnome was actually a kobold illusioned as a gnome, the PISS was created by the kobolds, and they elected him to go out and pose as a gnome tinkerer so they could sell it in civilized lands. After a few weeks of living a good life he figured "this is great, fuck life back in the mine", and wanted the gold of selling the PISS for himself. They picked a gnome because tinkerer and nobody would suspect kobolds disguised as their most hated enemy. He faked his own death and went out of town to sell the PISS himself, the kobolds found out eventually and stole it back along with a wagon and horses to transport it.

I like your ideas too, though

>>52180878
High level fighters, GWM users, Sharpshooter users and Rogues can finish a fight if given that extra attack action.

You can also use coordinated movement to set it all up.

>>52180891
Doing Joy and Command for the bonus to start and deciding on the other two since I'm making her at level 4. I want one to be damage focused then the other probably self buffing.

Might as well plan what your fifth Discipline will be, since you get another at 5th level.

>>52180781
At level 1 you start out with a shit ton of abilities right off the bat unless you're a knife fag.

Ironically I'm starting to like knife fags more only because they aren't gonna step on the rest of the party's collective toes all at once.

Alright, I'm gonna build a fucking mystic and see if this shit feels as dumb as it looks.

I've been used to wizards and bards being the assholes that get to do everything and make everyone feel useless. This seems like a whole new level.

>>52180858

But I guess it's Our Kobolds Are Different all over again.

>>52181000
Nope. It's a reaction to double their attacks for the turn, on your initiative.

I'm feeling like the Avatar wouldn't piss off the party if built right because they're just making everyone better. No fighter will complain about free attacks.

>>52180858
Extra attack only works if it's your turn.

So.. I guess if you use it as a reaction on someone else's turn?

Working with an elemental sorcerer Pyromancer but works for more than just fire damage. so I don't want to overlap. Doing winged infernal tiefling so flying isn't a priority. Thinking psychic assault and telepathic contact. Any good immortal self buffing for 5? Probably going to be the bonus AC.

If the ability uses an action, you can ready the action (And I assume this doesn't require your concentration) to use on the fighter's turn so they get extra attack. Probably.

Why does Friends make the creature specifically hostile towards you? Especially if you use it on a person who is extremely timid and a giant pushover, are they supposed to start plotting your immediate demise or some shit afterwards?

1st level Mystics also only have 4 psi points, making them effectively useless.

In fact, the rate of growth for psi points is all sorts of fucked up. From 7th level to 8th level, you get 6 psi points. From 8th level to 9th level, you get 13 psi points. Then growth is just fucking crippled after that point.

It just feels really out of wack.

The stonework here is rougher. The north passage goes straight as far as you can see.” As the party mapper, I would sometimes just say “North” or “East”.

I've always seem them as roughly like evil dwarfs that tend to serve dragons.

Sure, they might come up with something new, but they generally focus on following through with orders / doing what they're used to or what the tradition is / etc. But probably not as much as dwarfs, somewhere between gnomes and dwarfs.

It feels like they're only being given more personality and these sorts of gists alongside the idea of kobolds being a playable/lovable race.

Is the melee weapon attack used by beastial claws strength based, or can it be strength or dex?

>>52181136
Yeah but other casters only have two spell slots as well.
I would argue the only person that beats them in versatility at that level is perhaps a wizard because they can have all those decently useful rituals ready to go no problem. And they have a good amount of cantrips.

I suppose I do agree that the growth rate seems kind of odd.

I'm still gonna try to roll one if I can. Just want to see how I like em. Things are rarely the same in theorycrafting as they are at the table anyway.

>>52181090
>are they supposed to start plotting your immediate demise or some shit afterwards?
No, they're just supposed to be angry that you just manipulated them.

>>52181190
Archetypes at unequal level were a mistake. Either give everyone their specialization at level 1 or make them all at level 3.

That's a problem all casters but bard have.

>>52181179
Realistically I'd be too afraid to mess with someone who can at will mess with my mind. Fighting them would be the last thing I'd try.

Also speaking of at will, can you refresh Friends before it ends to buy more time for advantage charisma rolls? How the hell does Friends have a concentration of "up to 1 minute" if it's a level 0 spell and you can cast it infinitely?

>>52181194
You're thinking hobgoblins, anon. Kobolds were ingenious and devious trap-makers since forever. Inventing mind bogglingly cruel ways to fuck with people is their thing.

>>52181245
I tend to agree with this sentiment.
I'd probably lean on making them all at level 3 though, personally.

>>52181256
Well, I can't disagree.

Tucker's kobolds were a thing way back.

They still seemed more like 'practical' engineers more like dwarfs than gnomes even if their craftsmanship wasn't the best.

>>52181253
It's more like "Hey, what the fuck are you doing with me? *kicks you*"

>>52181268
Although on second thought that'd be fucking weird for someone like a warlock.
Perhaps more practical to make them all level 1. Which makes perfect sense anyway for all classes, actually.

I always hated having to shoehorn in things like a ranger getting their companion at level 3. I would just let their pet until that point be an "essential npc" that couldn't combat.

>because of soul knife which is complete ass they ruined blade meld my favorite talent
I hate you wizards. You fuck up everything you touch.

>>52181268
Giving a paladin his oath at level 3 was a horrible, horrible decision.

>>52181094
>Wacky inventions
>You would actually be surprised.
>Scorpion on a stick

I can see "wacky," but I don't think we're on a gnome level, here. It definitely explains why someone thinks an invention for consuming beverages would have been of value in the first place, though.

I stand by my opinions that your PCs should murder the gnome, though.

Quick! What is a monster that could wrap around (grapple) a player and drag them away really fast?

>>52180781
>>52181077
Think of it this way.

Each discipline covers an area of expertise that is roughly equivalent to an archetype for any other class.

At 1st level, unless you're Soul Knife, you've got three disciplines. That's the versatility of three archetypes.
At 5th level, you've got five disciplines, or you're as versatile as a character with five archetypes.
At 10th level, that's seven disciplines.

For any non-Mystic, if you want to exploit the versatility of multiple archetypes, you need to multiclass. The Mystic doesn't need to multiclass. It gets this level of versatility just from being a Mystic.

A Mystic with Adaptive Body, Celerity, Mastery of Fire, Nomadic Chameleon and Precognition effectively covers the same roles as an Abjurer, Open Hand Monk, Pyromancer, Thief and Diviner all in one package. It can dip into those roles whenever it likes and it's almost as good at them as the archetypes themselves.

You can't deny the ridiculous versatility of that.

>>52181324
I'm not that guy, I'm the other guy.

>>52181137
Wizards is terrible at their job.

>>52181289
I had the same issue with warlock familiar in one game. Basically up to level 3 the familiar was just a weirdly unawakened chicken.

A an NPC Satire Bard

Thoughts on a racial ability I'm trying to balance?

Goring Rush.

You are considered proficient in unarmed strikes utilizing your horns. When you use your action to Dash, you can use a bonus action to make one unarmed strike using your horns. If you move at least 10 feet in a straight line immediately before taking this bonus action, you deal 1d4 piercing damage, plus 1d4 for every added 10 feet of movement.

>New class about guns
Great :D

>New class about psionics
WHATS THIS SCI FI BULLSHIT, THIS IS A FANTASY GAME

really makes you think

>>52178221

Good program, overpriced, if you aren't using maps and tokens you don't need it.

If you're willing to do a little bit more work you can do everything free with maptool and tokentool instead, and Myth-Weavers for the sheets.

>>52181379
I literally just threw these at my players and one of them got taken away.
Was a great session.

>>52181345
That's My Guy

>>52181136
You're forgetting Psionic Mastery at level 11.

It's an action that gives them a second pool of psi points. These special psi can't be used alongside normal psi. It starts as a pool of 9, then grows to 11 at level 15. You wind up with four uses of this by level 17, so that's another 44 psi.

They did this to cap the nova potential of high-level psions. You have to spend an action to get these points, the pool is relatively small and thus limits stacking a shitload of action+bonus powers together to do a huge hit, and you can't supplement it with your normal psi at the same time.

>>52181406
>Guns
>Exist in reality and have since the times when people were still murdering each other mostly with pointed sticks

>Psionics
>Do not exist in reality

That said I don't think there's anything "sci-fi" about psionics.

>>52181406
Who are you quoting?

>>52181397
This could end badly with a Monk, the mobile feat and a Longstrider or haste spell.

>>52181397
>7d4 damage at level one
that's an average of 17.5 damage. while i like the idea of some sort of charge ability, i'm not sure this is the way to do it. i'd nerf it honestly

I remember the other day anons saying Lizardman Armor Monk works decently. Why not try Minotaur Armored Monk if you're going for armor anyways?

Or do their horns not count as "unarmed attacks"?

>>52181458
>Gun thats shoots lightining and laser
>Not Sci-Fi

>>52181397
Just change it to a single 1d8 plus your str bonus action attack you make with your horns when you move 20 ft in a straight line towards an enemy.
Alternatively, you could make it remain a bit more relevant perhaps by changing it to dealing 1d4 + str, and requiring the target to make a str save or be knocked prone.
DC = 8 + prof + str mod

>>52181433
Are you implying wizards, sorcerers, warlocks, druids, or paladins exist in reality

>>52181432
It doesn't limit the nova, it limits the DPR.

Mystic has the Lethal Strike + Animate Weapon + Knock Back combo which uses all of the actions in a round. More psi points wouldn't make that more powerful, that's the absolute height of the Mystic's offensive capability. What the small amount of psi points limits is just how frequently the Mystic can expend their psi points.

The Mystic's potential is capped at 10th level. In fact, I'd argue that there's almost no point to stick with the class after that except for additional versatility. You're better off multiclassing into something else.

>>52181476
Since when do they shoot lasers?
Anyway, it's a magic projectile. Not a laser pistol.

>>52181474
Doesn't that first line under Horns say "you are never unarmed"?

>>52181441
>>52181443
I was trying to think of a way to balance it at lower levels but haven't had much luck.

1d4 at 1st level + 1d4 every level after might be better.
2.5 damage at level 1 would scale to 25 at level 10, and 50 at level 20. Just not sure if being able to innately deal that much damage is OP.

>>52181484
I like the latter idea because scaling keeps it relevant. I'll play around with it.

>>52181340
You're ignoring the class and its archetypes themselves doing basically nothing, meaning all specialization and flavor comes from your chosen disciplines. You also need to step back and look at the psi limit and note how disciplines effectively give you 1-2 powers until you're "mid" level (5). You're front-loaded with disciplines, but not powers.

Yes, the class is versatile, but it can't do all things at once. You cannot perform the Abjurer, Open Hand Monk, Pyromancer, Thief, and Diviner role for more than a round or two each in an adventuring day, and that's even with the admittedly low bar of saying "performing the Pyromancer role" means "casts a Fire damage spell".

You fuckers need to play a Mystic and see how this actually works outside of your theorycrafting vacuum. You're as bad as Wizardfaggots who think you can spam Fireball to end every encounter at level 7 for two whole sessions.

>>52179788
The mage/warlock/whatever fucking spellcaster weapon looks a bit funny but I don't know why...

>>52181474
Yeah they don't work, it's weird. I still think going Kensai with Armour's the best idea, all their abilities work fine with it.

>>52181489
Yes?

What kind of dumb question is that? Do you even Wizard?

Really though because in a world like D&D it seems to me like there's no reason primitive guns WONT exist what with there being giant monsters to kill with them, near constant wars between nations, and people/creatures super fucking smart who can make all kinds of constructs but won't think "hey this explosion in a tube launched that metal with a lot of force" during an experiment

Someone please generate for me a list of the UA that actually has been acceptable and warrant of publishing

Too front loaded. UA Ranger is mostly good but it needs a final redesign for publication or it will be the first class DMs ban from being dipped into.
