I ran into this same frustrating problem. The whole “fetches in the background after you search” thing makes sense in a very “you are technically correct” kind of way, but it would be a much better user experience to just have a spinner and wait for the community/post to be fetched, rather than gaslight users.
Great in-depth breakdown, but an important takeaway is that it’s prohibitively difficult to build an effective psionic in 5e with “normal” stat-generation. There’s a lot of hangover of 1e’s bias of “oh, you died, just roll another character” – eventually one will pop up with three >16 mental scores.
Still, it’s a fascinating rock-scissors-paper(-lizard-Spock) minigame system, and a nice way to revisit the edition of All The Tables.
