I would have it where any spell with the mind-affecting descriptor can prevent a psychic spell from being cast.

If psionics does make a return to 5e, I hope some of the psionic species are also brought back.

You're right in a way. But I did mention earlier in this thread that psychics in PF1 replaced the somatic and verbal spell components with Thought and Emotion spell components. PF1 also remade psionics into another form of magic.

When it comes to Psychic Magic and expensive material components, a psychic spellcaster can use any item that has both significant meaning and value to them. The value of the item has to be greater than or equal to the spell's component cost. If a psychic spellcaster wanted to cast a Raise Dead...

I think the most noticeable difference would be how a spell is depicted when it's cast during a fight. The Fireball spell has all three spell components (somatic, verbal and material). For a Wizard to cast it, they need to make a particular gesture with one hand while holding a piece of bat...

They certainly ought to. In addition to Thought and Emotion spell components, PF1 also has its' share of Psychic character classes. The Kineticist (think of the Benders from Avatar: The Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra) who can psychokinetically manipulate an element or elements. Level...

Because of PF1's Psychic Magic, I really can't imagine a Psion not requiring any components for their spells. While they can cast spells that don't require words, physical gestures and items that cost a certain amount of gold pieces, they still need to put some thought (aka imagination) into how...

The Jedi with their monastic nature are more like psychokinetic warrior monks. Way of the Jedi Monk. Way of the Living Force Way of the Unifying Force.

Just as technology can become advanced enough to be indistinguishable from magic, magic can reach a point where it's indistinguishable from psionics. And vice versa. A sorcerer with Silent Spell, Eschew Materials and Still Spell could pass themselves off as a psion. A psion otoh will make you...

And let your eyes glow to let everyone know that you are giving them a piece of your mind. Literally.

Ex. That scene from the first Dune movie where Alia forced the head of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood into telling everyone who her brother was. No spoken words, hand gestures or items in use. Just a look before the Bene Gesserit cried out in pain and demanded someone to kill Alia. In...

If psionics didn't have verbal, somatic and material components, what would its' use look like during a game session? It wouldn't be two individuals rushing towards each other with weapons drawn, some fancy footwork and the clash of steel. It wouldn't be like an arcane caster muttering words in...

Are you suggesting that we didn't pass our respective WIS saving throws? :p

More so if they visited and participated in the same RPG forums, you visited and participated in. ;) They get to know us a little more and vice versa then.

The concept behind every class in D&D and every other RPG out there is a subjective thing. I doubt that they can be made objectively because each of us has our own ideas on how a class should look and work.

Yes, Laser Llama does happen to have a Psion class. ;) https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-MPkCSxSj0OETiEd3Pyf He also has a psionic subclass for his Alternate Ranger. The Nomad Whether by birth, happenstance, or a ritual, the mind of every Nomad has been connected to the mystical web of...

I hope this project will lead to a similar line of products that cover the 2024 species. Aasimar, Tieflings and Genasi= the Essential Planetouched's Guide Dragonborn= the Essential Dragonborn's Guide ;)

Slightly OT, but will there be an Essential Ranger's Handbook after this? ;):)

As complex as the A5e Fighter? curious

I think that is the intent. ;) Let the players get interested enough to borrow elements from A5e for their 5e games. While some players will stick with 5e, others will Level Up. A5e's SRD was published under the Creative Commons, the Open Game License and the Open RPG Creator.
