There are a few aspects to this. -WoTC developers have suggested multiple times that feedback and polls indicate most players don't want psionics to run on a separate system from everyone else. So a lot of us assume any psionic class will operate similar to the Artificer (work like other...

Yeah, I just don't have that perspective (for the first two). To each their own, though.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I've never thought of the elements as needing the psionic label to be thought of as having a conscience. Associating them as too many suggestions (in my head) I don't want.

I for sure would not want that.

Rational on the lawyer side. A nightmare on the PR side. I will clarify that I'm not saying it would be a financial disaster, but it would probably end up similar to when Nintendo tried to crack down and take a cut from content producers.

WoTC cracking down on streamers for using beholders would be a very poor decision on their part. I agree with the suggestion that this is likely just a choice on CR's part to avoid problems with the non-stream products than Wizards getting on their case. But maybe they big enough and close...

That's a lot to remember and a lot to convert. I will be very surprised if, assuming preserving/defiling is an overlay system and no subclass based, preserving is not just default spellcasting rules.

I am totally fine with defiling being better, but the expectation being PCs are preserver and the societal treatment for non-sorcerer king protected defilers is at best total exile, most often death.

Fixed.

I thought the Dark Sun version of the world axis worked really well, though I don't expect them to revisit it in a 5e version.

I feel very confident saying that isn't going to happen. I can see a section discussing how not all subclasses are appropriate,for the setting and some advice on how to narrow down the list for your game

-Cleric is an issue. Unless they cut it I could see them running Light as fire and maybe tempest as air, but that still leaves two more. Maybe a one-size fits all approach. -I'm betting on preserving/defiling being a system that overlays all arcane casters, so no wizard subclasses. -You...

4e had them deal with preserving/defiling and made Athasian Minstrel a theme anyone could take. Since they already marked the Whisperer subclass as intended for Dark Sun I don't think they will try to dig the full caster out if the Bard just for a subclass.

That's a problem as old as the hobby.

They haven't released a setting that's really tested them on the class list front, though.

Because the opening post is entirely about how Dark Sun doesn't need a Psion. Probably the topic with the most contention, too.

I think any kind of revision would see changes from the current state levels 1-3 are in. I don't think they'd kept the current situation where experienced players are expected to start at level 3 (which I swear the developers have said, but I can't find the quote so maybe someone check me on...

I would say in general that owning a castle just never ended up being the the kind of appealing endgame goal for most players as it was for the early wargamers. It's a concept that's role has continuously diminished over decades.

"Tied" in the loosest sense of the world. But I agree, they will market it as a tie-in.

In general, I don't care about or even particulary like alignment. I have two uses for alignment. 1. It's a guideline for players, especially new players, in determining their character's personality, behaviour, and how the react to a given situation. That last one is the biggest, again...
