What are your hopes for psionics in 5E?I'm hoping there are psicrystals and a psionics system that actually uses power points.
>>98823946I'm hoping they somehow kill people who try to create a character that is a psionic.
>>98823946It's never happening, just play 3.5>>98824333Cringe and newfag-pilled
I want loads of tactical combat-utility abilities. Stuff that can move the enemies around or rearrange the environment.
Psionics are gay as fuck and I'd always ban them as a player option.
>>98823946Fuck off, Puckee
It's a game for normgroids who can't handle anything but the most generic fantasy possible, it hasn't had psionics in 12 years and you're retarded if you think that's going to change.
I don't play 5e so I don't care
>>98823946It's just going to be a full caster with some tacked on gimmick because WotC are creatively bankrupt.
>>98823946I'm not hoping for anything in 5e, because 5efags don't care about constructive game design discussion.I'm making what I want now.
>>98823946>hopes... 5eThat it fucking dies.
>>98824983how are reskinned manapoints too much for normies too handle?
>>98823946>What are your hopes for psionics in 5E? this exact post could have been made in January 2013 lmao.
>>98826561>2013I meant to write 2012!!Almost fifteen years since d&d next was announced.
>>98826551Arrows and rations are too much for normalfags to handle, so this shouldn't surprise you.
>>98827075Oh god, I tried to run a hexcrawl for normiegroids years ago. Just like lotr!!! Was what they said. Literally on the first session they were asking me to keep track of their rations then got pissed when one of their characters starved to death in the fourth or fifth session.
>>98824597Nigger, I've been playing RPGs since I was in elementary school and I'm pushing 50. Psionics have always been retarded and only exist because Gygax just couldn't stop shoving Sci-Fi bullshit into his games because he was such a massive nerd.
>>98823946>What are your hopes for psionics in 5E?That their need to make something shrimple and tacked on ends up being actually not hard to pull out of 5e, modify a bit and put into older d&d that works better than any of the garbage tsr made for it. Or at least that it will be a cluster I can chuckle about for a bit when DS gets released and everyone looses their minds about current thing to be mad about. Maybe some sort of proprietary rock paper scissors gloves that make you hand look like a mindflayer face and different hand signs for Ego Whip and Intellect Fortress. Or an app you need to run psychic combat.
>>98823946I really like how they work in 3.5e, mostly due to the contrast with traditional spellcasting, so something like that.
>>98827075And just like that, the absence of trash applicants for other games was entirely explained.
>>98827075its weird to me because I would assume manapools are easier to handle than spell slots. pretty much every video game uses mana points for wizards and magic users.
>>98828526>pretty much every automatic counting machine takes care of basic arithmetic for people its weird they don't like doing it irl We made computers to count for us so we don't have to. More granular gameplay mechanics are more common in video games because the computer does the counting. Spell slots and x/day or y/encounter or z/rest abilities are much easier to track so show up in ttrpgs more.
>>98823946I hope they remain as they were in the UA just to spite faggots like (You) who want them to be magic but better.
>>98826551You want them to be different so you can be a hipster contrarian faggot. That's the only reasoning you have.
>>98828526It's not the fact they use points. It's the fact there's zero reason for them to bother using points other than to be LE WEIRD AND DIFFERENT to make the contrarian subhuman filth on this board clap like the hapless seals they are then turn around and still whine about it.I sincerely hope they do as much with psionics to upset the faggots on this board as possible. You are all insufferable and deserve nothing good in your lives.
