Why not? It hasn't hurt 5th edition up to this point. Having a Psion class with somatic components and costly material components next year is not going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back on this issue. Just because you can't handle it doesn't mean it has to be done.

Ignoring rules you don't like is entirely point. This is exactly what you should be doing, and why it doesn't matter what WotC chooses to do in their books.

Non-spellcasting psionics are already available for people right now. If you need it that badly, you can actually buy it and start using it TODAY, rather than stewing in the soup of your own anger for the next 12 months for what WotC might eventually get around to doing. This is why I can't...

Of course it will be. We are like a quarter-century removed from its original release. They are not going to just cut and paste the book together from everything written back then. If original Dark Sun fans can't handle that... they should stop reading anything new about it and just use the...

Then YOU ignore it. You don't need the book to say it. Unless you just can't deal with the fact that WotC's beliefs in psionics don't match your beliefs in psionics.

Deal with it. You aren't getting completely component-free psionics written down in the book, so take what you can get. No Verbal, no Material except for costly ones, and some hand gestures. And then you go ahead and ignore what the book says for the bits you don't like. Or, you know, if you...

Don't tell me... tell the people who are complaining about WotC's psionics.

Of course you can have an opinion. But you asked a question and I answered it. If you didn't want the conversation to continue past that you shouldn't have bothered to respond back. If a person lays out what they want to be a rhetorical question but people keep responding to it... then that...

Don't play 5E then. If you want scary 1E psionics, play 1E. But if you ARE going to play 5E... then you gotta dance with the date that brought you.

The psion crowd should be happy they actually got a psionic system this go 'round that actually removed Verbal and Material components, as that had NEVER been offered as an option previously I do not believe. Psionics always included components because WotC didn't want to give the class an...

Green. Any changes that I feel psionics should have that WotC did not put into this I am more than capable and happy to add myself. After all... if I really wanted/needed a very specific type of psionic mechanics set, I would have found them or created them for myself years ago. I'm not going...

The narrative and story of the class. It's like asking why do we have bards, clerics, druids, sorcerers, and wizards when they are all full casters with the same exactly spell slot progression? They are all just magic-using spellcasters with the same game mechanics, so why have more than just...

The latter. Truth be told... I wouldn't be surprised if they do release a 5E24 Dark Sun setting book, but that it takes the form of the new Eberron: Forge of the Artificer book-- smaller and with a cheaper price. Release a short Dark Sun setting book just to get the mechanics out there and...

In truth I want WotC to create a psion class just so that everyone will finally shut up about it. ;) As we've seen from Spelljammer / Planescape / Dragonlance... when WotC gives a person what they want (but invariably not in the style or format or detail they wanted)... the complaints last for...

Reminder to everyone who wants a Psion to appear in a future D&D book... DO NOT give '1's to any of the features, abilities or class write-ups when they give everyone the survey to fill out. This is not the time to let them know you do not like the particular method they are using for some...

True enough... but then again I notice that it's been over 10 years since the release of 5E. If they haven't put together their fantasy-heartbreaker Core Four version of 5E by now and actually been playing it for at least the past few years... I personally do not believe the complaints are...

And that's fine. But they then should not expect to be able to come onto boards like this and complain that WotC isn't doing it, without other people telling them why they are wrong to expect it. ;)

All narrative mechanics do is give people the indication to change-up their improv. Change up the description of what is happening in the world in a way that is slightly different than how they otherwise would describe it. If a game mechanic says a player is disarmed, then the narrative from...

And that's why the Core Four DMs need to make these things themselves (or find 3PP versions out there to use) if they really want them that badly or think it's a better way to play the game. But do any of them do that? Doesn't seem like it. No one seems to ever bother to make the base game...

It should be just as likely as finding players if the game only had the four classes they said the game should have. If they truly believe the game works best with only the Core Four, then there's no reason to think they shouldn't be able to convince a couple other people of the same thing to...
