[QUOTE="Andor, post: 6371212, member: 1879"] Psionics in D&D has never really been a single thing. In AD&D it was this weird bolt-on system. In 2e it was it's own class which was sort of 6 sub-classes. It was revised once in 2e. Then 3e gave us the Psion, the Psi-warrior and the Soul Knife. And a horde of psionic prestige classes. Psionics in 3e was a mix of point-based casting, a few unique skills, a feat system and a unique mechanic is psionic focus. In 4e it was new slew of classes, some of which used spell point augmentation to alter the AEDU format. I really quite like the 4e Battlemind. What does this tell us? Psionics have only been unifed across editions in their weirdness, and a few power names. In 5e I expect it will be it's own book. There will be a few classes, A psion with sub-classes for the 2e classic disciplines, a warrior type with subclasses for soul knives, battle minds and psi-warriors. There will probably be a focus mechanic. For now I could see the warlock or eldritch warrior serving as a template for a soul knife or psi-warrior. Good ideas in this thread. [/QUOTE]
