Psion to debut in July

[ppaladin123]

4e psionics is going to be...tricky. The vast majority of people who like psionics, loved 3.5's rendition of them,

Except for the Complete Psionic. That book....not so good.

Malhavoc Psionic book though ruled!

 

[Cadfan]

Its true that psionics has an extra challenge.

There are two types of psionic fans- those who loved it for the flavor, and those who loved it for the mechanics. The second group isn't necessarily going to leap for joy at a 4e style psionic class, except to the extent that they overlap with the first group and like the flavor as well.

I personally suspect this won't be a major problem long term, though.

 

[Nymrohd]

Also those who love the flavor are divided between those who like 3E pseudoscience and 2E mind combat.

 

[CelticMutt]

The 2e version had a fair amount of pseudoscience, just not as much as the 3e/3.5e version.

Except for the Complete Psionic. That book....not so good.

*Hisssss*

We don't mention that book in polite psionic circles ;p

God, what a horrible, horrible book. Not just a bad psionic book, but an overall horrible book just flat out in general.

Don't think that book in polite psionic circles! Us Telepaths don't want the bleed from you thinking it.

hey I liked some of the book, the Lurk was a good idea, as was the ardent, even if in practice they fell apart, and there was like 2 prestige classes if I remember right..

hey..why are you looking at me like

((((HEad asplode scanner style))))

 

[Moon_Goddess]

Oh don't get me wrong, I loved the Anarchic Initiate, the reality warping effects were great, but I suspect that I was somewhat overpowered with it.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I liked some aspects of CompPsi, but found that Dragon #341- which came out about the same time- did a much better job with Soulknife-specific feats.

And of course, Hyperconscious was the (mind)bomb!
