He did some stuff for the constructor subclass.
Rest of the month he'll be doing monster creation, he'll continue work on the psion in the office. He mentioned bringing the psion back with more content in August.

I watched the video. Basic idea is there is a cantrip that summons your imaginary friend, which is kind of like Unseen Servant, but visible, with an attack and HPs, which you can make more powerful and remove restrictions upon it by spending spell slots/points upon your summoned creature, as well as Shaper Features, does things like allow you to summon two of the imaginary friends, give it extra hps, let it take damage for you as a reaction, and so on. Your Imaginary friend will have it's own stat blocks, most of which will be very simple with you adding abilities to it by spending resources.. Some other stuff.

Might be worth taking a one level dip for Conjerer Wizards for the Cantrip and first level Shaper trait.

Some of Mearls concerns as really emphasis why Phantom Steed is such as great spell beyond simple use as a mount.

Another thing, if a Psion Cantrip is improved by spending spell slots they will interact in interesting ways with other classes, like Sorcerers and Warlocks especially. This particular cantrip will interact interestingly with Paladin Auras and Bardic powers.

I'm honestly interested to see what the Metamorph subclass is like as well the metamorph/egotist powers are.
