Modal potentialism as proposed by Barbara Vetter (2015) is the view that every possibility is grounded in
something having a potentiality. Drawing from work by Jessica Leech (2017), Samuel Kimpton-Nye (2021)
argues that potentialists can have an S5 modal logic. I present a novel argument to the conclusion that the
most straightforward way of spelling out modal potentialism cannot validate an S5 modal logic. Then I will
propose a slightly tweaked version of modal potentialism that can validate an S5 modal logic and still does
justice to the core claim of potentialism.
