Being a voice in someone's head can be even more fun with the _Actor feat_ or by being a _Kenku_ with its _mimicry._ You can pretend to be someone's internal monologue, pretend that another person or thing is doing the telepathy, and as mentioned be the ever favourite voice of their God.

Even without those, I managed to do the very first thing you mentioned with a solid deception and a rule-of-cool-rolling DM. Kind of ended up starting a Kobold uprising in the cult of Tiamat because of it.

When I first saw Arabella from BG3 coming from the shadow lands almost unscathed, manipulating vines and plants and fighting the shadows, I thought she was a Druid, but later, with all that talk with her and Withers and the "let the weave guide you" thing, she seemed more like a Sorcerer to me. That's when I realized that the things that happened in the Druid's Grove awakened her innate magical powers. Maybe she is a Druid-themed Sorcerer after all.

@chaos9059 Ай бұрын

The druids worship a nature deity. Arabella uses magic from the Shadowfell. Not an easy source to tap. That idol is really weird.

So, I'm heavily biased as someone who enjoys H.P. Lovecraft stories and the Cthulhu mythos, but I LOVE this subclass. I commented this on the community post as well, but my longest-running character - currently level 17 - is (mainly) Aberrant Mind. Even started back when it was still Unearthed Arcana! (We play every other week. It's been a loooong campaign.) And YMBA's right, it's a VERY powerful subclass! I sadly haven't had a whole lot of use for it, but thanks to the psionic spellcasting and Sending, you can become a living communications hub in more social-focused games/sessions! If you funnel your spell slots into sorcery points, you can easily cast Sending upwards of 6 or 7 times as early as levels 7 or 8. And that's not even touching on the power you can wield in combat with things like synaptic static that can't be counterspelled! It plays like a dream!

Interesting sub, even if Cthulhu seems to be the only representation of cosmic horror that is explored for some reason. I made a character who re-flavors many of these abilities as he draws his powers from the energy that constitutes Nyarlathotep. His "Revelation in Flesh" manifests as his body appearing to be like a negative photograph; distorted slightly in space-time by seeming taller & leaner than he is, almost 2 dimensional at certain angles

yep you got to love this subclass, granted i love the eldritch stuff so it's quite literally made for me, and it's made even better with Tasha's also giving you the Telekinetic and Telepathic feats. Like sure you're not going meta with them (not that Aberrant Mind is needing any help) but they add to it's flavor so well while only being half feats to boot.

@AndrewJohnson-oy8oj Ай бұрын

Psionics in D&D came during a time when there was a short fad in psionics-based fantasy novels. The most popular being the "Children of Hastur" series. (Hastur being a sentient star which awakened psionic powers in sentient beings on the planets which orbit it. Sound familiar at all?)

@RandallAndStrat Ай бұрын

I think a lot of the goo theme for this subclass comes from the abberation that it most closely models from, especially at those higher levels: aboleths. Older than the gods, bastions of psionic might not unlike the mind flayers, and secreting a mucus that transmits a disease that turns the skin of humanoids into goo and forces them to breathe water instead of air.

Mind alteration was so much more broken back in 3.5... they didn't have to deal with a charmed creature realizing it had been manipulated the moment the spell duration expires for a start, and at the highest levels it was possible to rewrite someone's memories so hard a freaking _wish_ was required to undo it (if you wanted to actually alter their personality you left it open to a remove curse doing the job), if the never-formally-updated pizza cutter 3.0 dark book was allowed.

I'm surprised Aberrant Mind doesn't have any psionics. Like, if the "use Sorcery Points to cast" made the spell count as psionic rather than magic, it would arguably be stronger. Sure, you gotta provide the spell components, but you can't Counterspell psionics, and it gets around Magic Resistance.

That means *2 level dip* time! 2 levels in Divination Wizard gives portent, which is not only powerful metagaming but fits in perfectly with the flavour of the class. And there's the option of one of the other charisma based classes [Hexblade, Paladin, Bard] with better armour, so you won't be so squishy.
