New DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Unearthed Arcana Revisits Psionic Subclasses

Wizards of the Coast has unleashed another Unearthed Arcana for Dungeons & Dragons and it’s revisiting the Psionic Options from a few months ago. One thing I’m noticing this time that I’m pretty sure wasn’t included in the last round is the use of a Psionic Talent die.

This is a mechanic that lets you boost certain rolls with the idea of it representing how much of your psychic energy you’ve used. As such, if you roll the highest result, the die will shrink and if you roll a 1, your die will grow. This is representative of either pushing your psionic limits or reserving your psionic strength for later. It really is an interesting mechanic and I’m very intrigued to see if it goes through to the final stage.

This new UA also features the Psionic Soul subclass for Sorcerers instead of the Psionic subclass for Wizards. One cool feature is Psychic Sorcery that lets you cast spells with no verbal component and possibly no somatic or material components either. Mind Over Body is another fun feature. It lets you see invisible creatures, fly, and even become pliable! It’s a pretty cool feature that has a lot of potential.

What is your favorite part of the new UA?
