Telekinetic Fling is back in the recent
0:02
Unearthed Arcana for D and D 5e. So,
0:04
this was a new cantrip we got with the
0:06
previous version of the Scion that lets
0:08
you pick up a nearby object, throw it,
0:11
and deal damage with it. Really, the
0:13
only big change that they made is that
0:14
the thrown object is no longer
0:16
destroyed. And that seems mostly
0:19
harmless, destroying the object, because
0:20
you're probably throwing like a random
0:22
rock or something. But with the object
0:24
being automatically destroyed, you would
0:26
throw super important things like here's
0:28
the mcguffin big bad wants. Oh no, it's
0:31
now permanently destroyed by a cantrip.
0:33
So like that that could cause some
0:35
problems. So I'm glad they changed it.
0:37
Otherwise, it's perfectly fine damage.
0:40
It's comparable to like firebolt or
0:42
something, but since it's force damage,
0:43
it's very very rarely resisted. The
0:46
limitation on the spell is you have to
0:47
have a suitable object nearby to throw
0:50
with it. So, most likely we're going to
0:52
see Scions using telekinetic fling just
0:55
carry a bunch of two-pound bottles
0:57
around with them that they can drop on
0:58
the ground and fling at enemies, which
1:01
feels a little silly. Maybe DMs will
1:03
suddenly start caring about carrying
1:04
capacity. I don't know. But honestly,
1:07
it's a perfectly fine cantrip and I
1:09
think it's going to see a lot of
