One thing I liked from one of the old UAs on the Mystic was that one of the disciplines had a bunch of abilities that required a Charisma Save to avoid a bunch of psychic damage. I certainly feel that the number of new spells should be at least twice as much as what's presented in that current...

I tend to go with what Aleister Crowley said when defining magic, in that "Any act, if in accordance with the will, is an act of magic." So something like Psionics certainly does fall within magic based on something like that. Though based on that quote, one could argue that doing something...

You could make the same argument about why Enchanter Wizards should use Charisma instead. Some of it comes down to the base class and them wanting to have the class just use one ability score for powers, as it's down to D&D being a class-based instead of skill point-based system. And to use the...

Based on the fact we have Artificer as the 13th class, and signs pointing towards Psion as the 14th class with it's 2nd UA showing it's likely going to be in something. Given that they are going at a slower rate at for introducing new classes than they did for 3e and probably never are going to...

Based on the fact that Intellect Fortress is also an Artificer Spell, means that they will at least consider if every new spell they make could be on the Artificer or Psion spell list. It's a positive sign that they'll support those 2 classes with new spells beyond whatever initial release this...

Going more into the idea of the 3.5e Psion and it's 6 disciplines, the only ones that aren't sort of covered by the subclasses in the UA playtest is Clairsentience and Metacreation. Seer Clairsentience in 3.5e was basically Divination with some more directly useful for combat spells. But I...

The Metamorph can easily get at least 15 AC at 6th level using a 1st level slot for Mage Armor (which is better than light armor) on top of the Mutable form, if not more depending on what they put into Dex and other build options. Just a few tweaks and they'd be alright for some second line combat.

Some thoughts on character concepts: A Psion Metamorph is a really good idea conceptually for a Simic Hybrid who's probably part of the Simic Combine in Ravnica. Tentacles and whatever other adaptions they have to go with their bone blades and viscera launchers. It's like those ideas were built...

Because Psions are expected to do a lot of the Telepathy thing, they are expected to have many of the same Enchantment spells that Wizards and Bards get. We're at a point that if there's a new Enchantment spell it's a definite "gimme that" for the Bard and the Psion.

The ability to bypass magic in earlier editions combined with the DM having to learn a completely new system lead to an instant ban of Psionics. Now the only reason for banning psionics by a DM will be for completely thematic reasons.

I'm happy they decided to ignore those complaining about spell slots. Now the Psion just needs some more refinements and fine tuning. Yes Ego Whip is bad, especially compared to Silvery Barbs which would be something that Psions should get on their spell list if they really wanted to bring...

A lot of companions like Ubisoft have studios in Montreal.

I don't remember mentions of Innistrad in any upcoming MtG releases, but I'm guessing that world would be a Domain of Dread in Shadowfell if they're going to do a D&D/Magic tie-in.

They'd probably have to update the Nature and possibly Tempest Cleric at some point with those Primal subclasses. Probably throw in some Ranger subclasses and the Scout Rogue too.

Hold Person is definitely one that's very useful for +1 target, and so is Tasha's Hideous Laughter.

I noticed that Bursting Shot still has no mention of the saving throw for the others caught in the blast radius.

I think the improvements the tattooed Monk needs is to get something combat related at level 6 with those celestial tattoos. Or maybe combine Celestial Tattoo and Nature Tattoo at 6th level, get Monster Tattoo at 11th level, and something else at level 17 like some sort of ultimate form.

I think Animate Dead is a problematic spell based on the sheer number of actions someone with a high number of minions using a high level slot will take. The spell should have been fixed when they changed all of the Conjure spells. Sure the making the undead more expendable features of the...

I think there's more of Ars Magica in Vampire: The Masquerade and Mage: The Ascension than in D&D. After all that's where the Tremere and Order of Hermes came from.

I think they're about as (un)popular as Wildren that were also in 4e.
