As the title suggests, this is for gathering ideas and opinions on the topic of psychic classes. Should it be just a feat? Should there be a class and a feat that allows minimal psionics, like Magic Initiate?
How would you like a psychic class to function? I saw some complaints that psychic casters were simply rehashed wizards in the last few editions, and didn't feel very new or unique. The uniqueness came from splatbook class variants.
If that is the consensus, I could see a Wilder-type caster being the prime class. The raw power of the mind being the foremost option. Under that, you could have your psychic warrior-type subclass, which could lean towards physical psychic boosts and a mindblade option. Also would be a subclass more like a psion. Someone learned and trained in a specific avenue of mind powers, but different enough to not just be a repainted specialist wizard.
How do you think a psychic class should look in 5e?
