I really do wish that point buy would allow at least a 7 in stats. It feels like you're not really allowed a real weakness when using it or standard array. I dislike rolling due to how it can make parties feel so poorly balanced, but the ability to get lower than 8 in a score is one thing I...

It failed the potato test. Which meant that it would never have been successful.

Looking at the strawpoll from reddit, psion is 100% getting cancelled. https://strawpoll.com/eJnvV22dMnv

Honestly, I don't care if it's the 'warlord' or a completely different martial support class. I just want a martial support class. It's the largest mechanical gap left in 5e, and one I feel needs filling above anything else.

Swordmage still has a lot of people who want it as well. I'd put it alongside warlord and psion there too. It's probably the class I see people ask for the most.

Honestly if I had a choice between my most wanted class (the swordmage) or the warlord. And I could add only one to 5e. I'd still pick the warlord. I don't think there is a single possible class which fills as large of a gap as the warlord does.

I really hope we get a warlord this time around. A support based pure martial is a gap which is basically untouched in 5e.

This is absolutely what will happen. People are all so mad that it doesn't match their personal ideal of a psion, that they will all vote red. Which will kill the psion class this edition too. And this won't just be a psion thing. The same will happen for any new class which appears in UA...

Even if it's not exactly what I want, I'll be giving it mostly green, with a bit of yellow to give feedback where needed. I know how WotC UA surveys work. If there is even a hint of dislike, they will axe the entire concept for another 10+ years.

How would people feel about psion using the spell points / will points system from 2014 5e?

On a side note to this, I really wish that WotC would provide some Artificer art which depicted them in more traditional settings. As far as I can tell, 100% of artificer art has been the magitech stuff which puts DM's off allowing them. I try to constantly explain to people that artificers do...

How much are we willing to bet that the anti spellcasting crowd are going to downvote everything until WotC comes to the conclusion that people don't actually want a psion, and decide to axe the idea of making a psion class.

Omg no way?!

Shame they don't work on dnd beyond :(

Maybe it would be better to put the different ranger concepts into different subclasses. Scout as the rogue part, the 'Aragorn' ranger as a fighter subclass, maybe a pet subclass somewhere. But I'd still want a primal half caster class. Maybe one with that primal magic emphasis built in as a...
