41st lv DM
I've tried (and failed) to like psionics ever since 1e. I kinda like the general idea of them - Barsoom, comics, etc.
But overall they don't really fit the type of D&D I prefer.
And I pretty much hate all the versions of their rules to date.
In particular I hate the rules as a DM. In order to have this stuff in my game I'd have to be proficient in a whole separate rules system - for something I'm not really interested in running.
So there's no psionics in my games.
I hope that when psionics are added to this edition they will come in their own, self-contained, book. NOT intermixed with something else I want. That way I can just let it sit ignored on the FLGS shelf.
As far as other people using psionics? As long as they don't expect to use it when I'm the DM I don't mind. I can be a player in a game where psionics are an option.
