Psion to debut in July

[Nikosandros]

Not a full writeup I think. I think it's only going to be one build, like the Barbarian, Artificer, or Monk. Could be wrong though.

I'm not sure if the Psion is part of it, but it was announced that a sizable portion of PHB3 would be released in advance through DDI.

The Psion is part of that - I just don't know if they meant the full class or not even then.

Personally, I'm hoping one of those "sizable portions" is the full Githyanki write-up, plus racial feats, or at least the Githzerai.

Now would be a good time for the githyanki writeup give their appearance in the latest Dungeon adventure path. We so need these two races as PC classes...

Same but for the Elan (they better be in PHB3). Also, I wouldn't mind random list of feats. Since it is a ways off to PHB3 coming out so having some feats that are based around the excerpts we are getting be nice (or be in the articles for each thing itself).

How do you know what the vast, vast majority of people wants?

I'm reasonably confident, that the vast majority of people who like 4E like the fact that they do not have completely different mechanics for every class, quite specifically.

Well, I'd ask, do the vast majority of people who like 4e like psionics?

I expect it to be reasonably balanced (for the first time).

Man 3.5 had psionics balanced perfectly. Heck, the Psionic Warrior was classified as the perfect "middle tier" class, one that was neither too underpowered, or too overpowered, and was noticed as a class that a newbie could play and reasonably enjoy a do well, while an experience player could get in and do wonders.

You're just pushing my buttons to push 'em, now

I wouldn't have minded a few Monk feats in the article...

That's a good question. I don't think, that one excludes the other, though.

I think the soulknife would do well to kill the lurk and psychic rogue and take their stuff.

Kind of my thoughts of how it'll end up, the lurk would get absorbed into the soulknife, because the soulknife is too cool of a concept to give up on.

After all, I really want there to be a soulknife with powers such as throwing their mindblade and have it multiply into a shower of mindblades, or having one float around and striking and parrying all adjacent enemies for an attack, or draining an opponent's strength with your mindblade, and so many other neat mindblade tricks.

And when you think back to the fact that most of the Lurk's special abilities were, do something special with a sneak attack. I can see most of those abilities becoming soulknife powers.

I think there would be no correlation.

I am sure that most people that like 4E like new classes.

You know, I think it'd be cool to have them be like the Revenants, having some ties left over from their previous race, since Elan weren't born, but created (IIRC).
