D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

[Corinnguard]

If I do play a psion in 5e, it will have to be a third party creation until 5.5e makes one.

Got a favorite 3pp version of the Psion? curious

Heh. I only play WotC classes until there's a 3pp class that does it right.

Let's remember the psionic is not only the class but also the monsters. Some alien monsters are better, or more Lovecraftian, but they use psionic powers instead classic magic.

I wonder something the reimagination of the wilder class like a psionic version of the barbarian, more about to relief the within rage. Something like a freak from Dandadan with middle range.

I imagine the psion's philosophy like a path of self-enlightenment to improve her own within spark of divinity. If the wizards wants to use the magic in the same way a windmill is built to use the wind, but the psionic mysthic wants to be the wind. That is the reason because clerics and paladins dislike or distrust the psionic ardents, because these don't want to serve loyalty to the supreme powers but to "recover the lost divinity".

WotC could publish a no-psionic handbook about psionic PC species and monsters, or a rewritten setting where the psionic powers, or creatures, altered the timeline, for example Krynn space being invaded or visited by gem dragons during the age of despair.

* The brainstealer dragon is a psionic monsters, isn't it?

Why does WotC get a pass on doing it right?

They don't, they're simply what's available. Once a 3pp fills the niche better, I drop WotC stuff.

I like GM Binder's versions. And I also like @Steampunkette's version.

Including Laser Llama's? I am more a fan of LL's Magus and Ranger classes.

Another reason why I want an official Psion is I just want to see WotC's take on it. They usually have a bit of a novel take on these ideas, and I like seeing their execution. Logically, they should release the Psion alongside more Psionic subclasses for other classes in addition to the 5 we have now, allowing them to justify the amount of options a proper Psionic subsystem needs.
