D&D 5E No mystic in Xanathar's Guide

FYI. Mostly just conformation for what was widely guessed: http://www.sageadvice.eu/2017/06/21/are-there-psionics-in-xanathars-guide/.

They punted on psionics.

Upside: we will probably see psionics in a latter book. You have to be patient with this edition.

I felt like they were saying that the playtest will conclude in the DM's Guild and that the final will end up being there.

I didn't. The part about going into AL made me think it was gonna be at least a year more before getting published.


But in neat little twist - something is making it into AL before getting published. Suck on that aaracococo...birdman!

Nope.

Here'e the relevant text (emphasis mine) posted to both the WotC site and description on the DMs Guild:

"Once the classes have robust sets of features and options that are hitting the approval levels we aim for, we will make those classes available for playtesting in the D&D Adventurers League. This step indicates that the new class is slated for official release as part of a D&D product. This step’s goal is to put the classes through the same rigorous testing and DM feedback that the core fifth edition classes received during their open playtests.

Once that step is complete, we’ll add these classes to a future D&D product. We can’t predict how long each step will take, so we don’t have dates to share. We remain committed to releasing material only when it is ready."

Of course, the "future D&D product" could be on the DMsG, but I doubt it. Most likely it will be part of another book.

I think they spent a lot of time on them...and were not happy enough with the results, so far.

Still, patience is key. A future product where psionics is more prominent could certainly be an interesting one.

With luck, the classes will appear in the Fall 2018 rules book.

It's also possible it will be 2019.

Word.

We don't have to like it, though.

While you wait, I will be gearing up for 6th edition.
