Dnd 5e homebrew classes mystic Patch#
If I tried to patch it, it would be more patch than content. I can fix Peace Domain with some patches and house rules, but the Mystic is too far gone. Some features are just outright numerically unfair (you can get a cantrip-equivalent feature which is just Mind Spike with d10 damage dice instead of d6), and many allow unfair combinations that immediately outshine other characters. The class is way too complicated, having more build decision points than the Warlock and more decision points during play than any existing character because of the way psionics and psi points work. I believe that’s a larger page count than any other class except possibly the Cleric (there are lot of domains) if you total up the page count across every published source book. That alone is a terrifying prospect as a playtest document. To reiterate: I will not cover the 5e Mystic class in its current form.įor people who have not read the Mystic UA article: it’s 28 pages and includes six subclasses. I occasionally get requests from people asking me to write a class handbook for the Mystic.
Dnd 5e homebrew classes mystic full#
It was the first full class that we saw outside of the core rules (yes, it predates the Artificer), and a lot of people are very excited about the Mystic several years later. WotC tried a few times to get psionics right before we got the psionic subclasses in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, and the most iconic example was the Mystic. UA content makes it to final publication less than half of the time, and my crystal bar isn’t clear enough to predict what’s going to make it to print, so I’d rather spend that time on stuff that’s already in books and that I know everyone can actually use. The primary reason for this is that I simply don’t have the time.
