Oh thank goodness, someone believes in non-magic Rangers! Did you see now they tried to fix Favored Enemy by making them cast Hunter's Mark for free a number of times? So you know, they would casually chant some incantation when they see someone or something they want to kill. Very Ranger-like...

My whole point before, about the mistake of making a spell called Telekinesis, applies to many more. They made Wizards step on the toes of Psionics many times. Now, I still do believe you can make Telekinesis different for Psionics (obvious example: it could be free or cost you depending on...

Count me very much into that crowd (although I wouldn't want "everything" with different mechanics, I do see cases for reusing), and I will tell you why by quoting @Chaosmancer See, this is the first fallacy. We don't have "mechanics for telekinesis". We have an arcane spell, cast using...

Ranger, Paladin, Sorcerer we are looking at you... I was so sad to see in 5e they kept them as exactly a mix of other classes bunged together. I think nobody has discovered yet what a true unique Ranger should be like, and with Paladin... Close but not enough. Sorcerer don't even let me start on...

Would be tricky to differentiate, but a nice challenge. Hasn't been done before, that I remember of.

I am positive it originated from psionics. Do watch, it's a trip!

Not that is a part of Psionics I like, I did it just because it's easy to represent. (Although the part of poison/necrotic being anathema to it was just a weird thing that came to my mind)

Body alteration in the sense of melding with objects and other bodies is not something spells currently do, and it has its place in Psionics probably because of Akira's anime movie and related Japanese body horror (and their close relationship with psychic powers).

Yep, wanted to show how far out were psionics in 3.x, regarding body modification. Of course that body melding thing should be more like a 3rd level spell in power, but wanted to give examples only. Of course, Warlock is a better model than Wizard, just like Battlemaster, being short...

First of all, we would only get Psionic Step as an alternative, not one for every class. Second, the Psionic Alternative would be more like 10 ft per PP or Psionic Die spent and have different effects (see my example above). So I am not in favor of repeating stuff and changing name. I am in...

There, this is what I could think of when making a Battlemind, closely based on the Battlemaster. Never mind the names, it's a quick thought experiment. PSIONIC COMBAT (3rd level): Psionic Maneuvers: You learn a set of psionic maneuvers by choosing a Psionic Combat Discipline at 3rd level. You...

This is exactly the reason why I wouldn't want to re-use existing elements. So you can't build the same with the existing elements because it would end up different. See?

@Chaosmancer , I specified exactly that the final effect should be less damaging than Paladin, less miltiattacking than Monk, and less versatile than Battlemaster. This is how you balance this. Plus I specified that this is in case we have a class, where subclasses can focus on ONE of those...

The general feeling should be these characters move in unnatural ways. A very cool feature/power for example was Skate: unnaturally sliding without friction on surfaces. Mechanics-wise, psionic warrior types should be able to do stuff such as very short range teleports to represent extreme...
