Editing Planeswalker (section)

==In Plane Shift==
When WoTC began releasing their Plane Shift articles, which attempt open up the worlds of MtG for play in [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]], it naturally came time for them to discuss how to convert being a planeswalker to D&D mechanics. In Plane Shift: [[Amonkhet]], they did just that, and recommended that it basically become a background element, mechanically no different from the overland travel; after all, in a planewalking campaign, travel between worlds is a story function, not a rules function, or at least that's their argument. The only mechanical suggestions were that it takes a minute-long period of meditation/focusing for the planeswalker, akin to performing a ritual, and that this usually can't be done in combat. To represent the "reflexive planeshift" aspect of Planeswalkers, they can make a Charisma saving throw when hit by an attack that would drop them to 0 hit points, with a DC equal to the damage inflicted; if they pass this save, they teleport away to a random plane instead of taking damage.
