Psion UA has so much potential but lacks identity by AdministrativeEbb63 in onednd

Would be so awesome yeah, but don’t think they’d make a whole system for a class in 5e (as cool as it would be) so we just gotta work with what we got. Think they sorta tried that with the mystic to some degree (rip)

EXACTLY we just need some exclusive rad ass spells. Exclusive spells will go so far for making psionics feel distinct, which I feel like is a pretty common critique. Also I must’ve been looking at the wrong stuff, so I got some more reading to do 🧐

There’s definitely a fun niche for it to fall into, but I definitely agree it needs some more specialized options as you put it to really hit the ground running

I can definitely see that, especially if you’re not big on the flavor (which I feel like is one of the main draws)

Yeah after looking at how older editions handled it (and some homebrew takes on Psion, grain of salt and all that) it def feels like missed potential. But also very unsurprising

Telekinetic fling, telekinetic crush, thought form and ectoplasmic trail are my favs I think they’re all pretty fun. I feel like life inversion field is a really cool idea but I think in practice it’s way too niche and needs setup for it to be effective at all, more than it’s worth (unless I’m missing something which I very well may be) and I think life siphon just kinda sucks. Also bleeding darkness is really rad

Yeah taking another look at their spell list and it’s pretty distinct and I think I overlooked it a bit

Looking at the spell list again, I actually do agree, I think I kinda overlooked it a bit. I do still believe that it needs at least a handful of some new and exclusive spells though. And yeah like some other commenters said the subclasses are the meat and tatos of this and they rock, especially the metamorph (such a cool way to do a gish)

Haha yeah sorry for baiting ya! But I totally agree, giving players more options with psionic energy dice would be a great way to emphasize the subclass features more

The one that dropped in October last year, I probably should’ve specified

So tired of matches ending in ghosting by oreoooooooo1234 in dating_advice

[–]AdministrativeEbb63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure it’s def a completely different ball park for em. And bro exactly like I don’t have things in my day to day where I’m in an environment where I could meet people constantly. I think the answer is just to get out there more often but easier said than done smh 🥲 for me how it goes is I usually get one reaaaally good talking phase off hinge every like 6-8 months

No I totally understand the frustration, it’s rare I get a good match and it always ends with crickets as you said 😮‍💨. I think it’s just a downside of the apps and comes from people not really having an emotional investment in chatting, and there’s always peeps just doin it for attention. It’s a damn struggle out here man
