That sounds like it could be un for a 1-shot, but I wouldn't want to run a whole campaign with a character I didn't want.

And we play a game with no ASI (feats only) and max ability score of 18. It works just fine too.* *Actually, I think the game works better (more fun) with lower ability scores.

Yes and no. I've responded to similar queries about a half dozen times so I will leave it at that.

I mean I have been there and done that. I have been playing TTRPGs for 35+ years. It is just an issue of time. I don't have time anymore to invest in a new system. Also, there are still lots of interesting 3PP ideas for 5e and, to be honest, WotC still has some good ones too. Of course at this...

So a wizard then ;)

I hate those dragons (and AI dragons in general), but it is interesting that it gave the black dragon forward pointing horns

I understand it is a trope and I don't mind other people have pyrokenesis, it is just not what "I" would want. For my it is to far out of the concept and just makes the psion a pyromancer.

i agree they are popular in media. I said "I" don't see them as fundamental psion abilities. For me it is a bridge to far, but I don't mind if others think differentyl

I mean no? What psions do is impossible. Telekinesis and Telepathy and everything else a psion does with the their mind is impossible. I great mind can think really hard/weel/efficiently but that is it. Generally everything a psion does is way beyond the possible. Maybe, but that doesn't fit...

I agree with about half of those, but I am not against people getting things I don't personally like as psionics

In my mind, space and time manipulation are a very advanced / powerful version of telekinesis. So I think it is a power issue. The problem being D&D spells rarely concern themselves with this type of thinking.

I mean there is a 100% overlap with magic from the get go. Is there anything a psion can do that a magic-user cannot?

I don't see those as fundamental psion abilities. I think I agree with @Reynard on this one that your just creating a caster with a different name if you include these. I mean fire and ice are not things of the mind (though I do understand how one could justify them to some extent).

Telekinesis and thought / mind control of varying degrees. Telekinesis would allow fast movement, more powerful attacks, longer jumps, etc along with simply lifting, moving and stopping things. Mind control: mind reading, thought implantation, mind control, astral projection, and possible...

On top of this I think you need to add everything a Jedi can do. They are what I think of when I think of psion/psi-knight But I generally agree about removing pyro/bio type stuff (though I can also see an argument for keeping them).

No, not IMO. Level 20 PCs are not that powerful. Forces of nature are for level 20+ play IMO.

I just took the pool and the results are firmly in the yellow (60%) with red and green basically tied. Not sure if that means it will get cancelled, but I would say the odds are less than 100% *It is an odd choice for the graphic to use the color red for the yellow result.

Yep - that is weird

Possibly - I just checked and everything is back now.
