The name "Psion" or equivalent is essential.On the other hand I believe that with only one new class in seven years WotC has made clear just how little they want to add classes. And unless what the class is trying to do really isn't covered by other classes I think they have the right approach - and 5e sales are good enough that they also aren't going to make major changes.They have also added psychic subclasses to the game meaning that a lot of psionic concepts and playstyles are covered. Which unless clear water can be found both thematically and mechanically between what's requested and what's already there makes a new class even less likely.All of which means it's likely that WotC doesn't think Athas needs the Psion because there are already psychic characters in D&D. Which is just as well because if it did then Athas would be a lot less likely.And the book that introduced psionics? Tasha's introduced three explicit psychic subclasses (soulknife, psychic warrior, aberrant mind) which means it may be the ramp up suggested.When I asked what people wanted I was hoping to find something lurking that anyone even with no connection to D&D's history could see was clearly new and cool. Doesn't seem to be.</blockquote>
