4e had it where the Genasi were just a single race that was capable of manifesting each of the five elements (air, earth, fire, lightning and water) thanks to their time living in the Elemental Chaos. They were born manifesting one element at first but could learn how to manifest another element...

Are there any giants in 5e who are psionic? It would be neat if they were, as then we could have psionic Goliaths. ;)

Definitely worth backing whenever they come out with a new book.

The term will probably be swapped out with another one during the next couple of surveys and playtests.

Currently there is a 3pp for Level Up that covers the Elan. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/411529/slice-of-psionics-the-elan-heritage-a5e

A 5e or a 5e-adjacent version of PF1's Kineticist class would be a better alternative here. As for the Soulknife, we need to bring back the Soulbow prestige class and make it into a subclass for the Ranger. ;)

This book makes psionics look more appealing.

To quote a certain Mentat: It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. And whose mind is in motion? The Psion's. ;) Edit: Sapho Juice...

With WoTC deciding to make another attempt to create the Psion class, I find myself wondering if we might also see a return of psionic species and subspecies to 5e. Before 5e, 3e had psionic versions of the Githyanki, Githzerai and Duergar in its' Expanded Psionics Handbook plus several new ones...

Green. I want to see if WoTC's Psion can outdo Laser Llama's Psion* and @Steampunkette 's Esper. :p Some 3pp designers just do better than WoTC.

I wouldn't have a problem using a points system for the Psion. It was used when psionics first came out and was one of the things that set it apart from spellcasting. Psionic energy could be raw and unrefined, unlike magic, and therefore require more work to produce a certain effect.

Back in 3.0/3.5 when all spellcasters had access to the Metamagic feats (rolling for a History check! :p), they could fool someone into thinking that they were psionicists by using Silent Spell, Still Spell and Eschew Materials with just the right spell. I don't think there were any spells that...

A Babylon 5 reference? ;)

Beyond the Tablelands Plateau on Athas? There was some mention way back of a Thri-Kreen empire and a city state ruled by a sorcerer king who took it upon himself to become an Avangion.

Only if they properly and carefully worded their wish in order to leave very little room for interpretation. :p

One of several options, hopefully. ;) Besides @Steampunkette 's Esper class, there is also the Psion class in the Voidrunner Codex from Level Up and Laser Llama's Psion class.

A couple of us certainly do when we bring it up on the forums. 😀

I am willing to bet that WoTC will borrow the Thought and Emotion spell components from PF1's Occult Adventures for this.

That would be nice, but it's not likely WoTC would bring back the Kara-Tur setting to 5e. For now, everyone will have to settle for a 3pp source such as Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms by Loot Tavern. As for Eastern Dragons, I would probably convert PF1's Imperial Dragons to 5e.

Yeah, Rangers ought to be more 'bag and tag', meaning they're good at tracking down and subduing their quarry than killing them outright. If the Assassin subclass was an actual class, I could see the Slayer being a subclass that leans towards the Ranger class.
