Look, my position being weakened by how I put myself (in your eyes) as a "true believer" and all... It doesn't matter to me at all. Actually it's even better, because I want to demonstrate that this shouldn't be a matter of agreement with the community, but of agreement about a concept. This...

Ten times better than the current design philosophy, that is for sure.

So keep the essence and balance it out. But don't subvert it. I am all in favor of there being a "tell" that reveals the usage of psionics. Heck, since some of you were trying to justify the use of trinkets as foci with popular culture, tell me a nosebleed would be less recognizable as a tell...

When I play a Wizard, I want to use a staff or wand. When I play a Fighter, I want to use weaponry. When I play a Psion, I want to use nothing but my mind. Make it less effective without an implement, fine. But if they keep the concept as they did it now of "while you have tour psionic focus on...

The insult is seeing so many conditions needed to do what should be the basics of psionics. Morphing into an incorporeal body with a trinket floating inside is not just "noticeable", it's freaking unusable in low magic settings, or settings where you want to keep things slightly real. I don't...

I didn't hurl insults to anyone, I just said exactly that I didn't like this and felt insulted by it. I am pretty sure people who LIKED psionics and cared for them, before, can't like it like this. I might be wrong, but that's what I'm trying to find out. Not going to be convinced by your case...

In previous edition they didn't need anything. Thank you for reminding me the worst aspect of 4e psionics, I hated it back then as well. Especially Ki Foci: contrary to the very concept they represent. Implements for Psions were acceptable to a point: at least they were not stupid trinkets like...

The bile came days after the article: believe me I did think about it. And while this being a possible addition and not substitution of a true psychic is possible (not sure, IMO) it's still insulting to the concept to see iconic psychic powers becoming spells that Wizards can learn. The bile is...

You assume I didn't. I did think about it and I reached the conclusion that it's a bad joke, contrary to everything psionics stands for. Think about it from a player's perspective, not a "could make sense in a way" one: who wants to play psionic characters? Exactly someone who wants the...

All right, the thread derailed quite a bit, and nobody is talking about this UA anymore. I suspect nobody even read it properly. Just take a look at this, from the sidebar nobody read: "Your Psionic Focus Every member of the Psionics tradition has a story about how their psionic focus...

I can't properly express my disappointment about this. If I could, it would take more pages than what they are planning to do on psionics, that for sure. Just one thing: have you noticed how deep is the investment on a MATERIAL psionic focus, on this Psionicist Wizard?? They are able to...
