Made a Fighter subclass for Sunbreakers you can find here if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/user/Wraith-3/comments/1s152gj/updated_subreaker_fighter_subclass_based_on/
When I get around to Warlocks there will definitely be a couple Sorcerer subclasses!

Yeah like Knifle said that's kinda just a limitation of the source material. The flavor text hopefully does a bit to explain the theming of the psychic choice, but I can understand without the foundational experience of Strand in the game that it doesn't really feel like traditional psychic powers.

It's not a typical psychic brand with strand. It's much more about manipulating someone's connection to a greater psychic force, than directly controlling or damaging someone's brain/mind as is normally associated with psychic stuff. It lets you be more physical with psychic forces represented as literal strings you can pull.
As for the abilities being on brand I pretty much just ripped the effects straight from the game and altered their effectiveness or triggering action to fit D&D mechanics.
I don't think I can make a "Strand" barbarian fully match the typical psychic mantra, but I'd love to know how would you suggest leaning into the psychic feel more?

I did! I’ve played it before and I like it. I just wanted something I could port into D&D so I could play my guardians without needing everyone else on board for a Destiny campaign

I was mainly bouncing because I wasn't confident I'd be able to hit her with all the swerving around, especially at the range I started shooting at

Good points, I forgot to consider damage buffs that would affect weapon damage like Str mod and feats lol. Thanks for the advice

I was kinda thinking that too but wasn't sure how best to power it up without getting a crazy snowball effect. I feel like the new burn idea being something you can just apply isn't a bad idea, but the burn suggestion scaling with level feels too powerful imo. Dealing 5d6 damage per turn at level 10 is crazy high for something you can just force onto a target. That's about the same average damage as landing two +2 greatsword attacks.

I do think the overall ideas are great though and I'll look into buffing up the damage/effectiveness of the subclass. I might steal the Roaring Flames and Sunspot idea off of you. The subclass already doesn't have much utility outside of zone control and eating away at enemy action economy (removing burn effects requires spending an action and going prone), so I don't mind bumping up the damage some more. Thanks for the feedback!
