[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8291248, member: 58172"] I am rereading the Archivist. It is the UA Artificer subclass. It got mixed love/hate survey reviews. (Crawford personally wants it.) The class flavor is something like the modern internet via a modern iphone. The magic is mainly telepathy technology. It seems like the UA content can rework well to combine with 3e Psi Crystal, and be perfect for the Dark Sun setting. I feel the Psi Crystal and Archivist combo is a win-win. The Archivist helps the Psi Crystal feel less "New Age-y", and the Psi Crystal helps the Archivist feel more D&D and less modern. It also solves a problem that I had with Psi Crystals in 3e. That the flavor of psionics is "mind only!", is super important to me. So where the Psi Crystal feels like a kind of external Wizard material spell component, it is highly problematic. However, as an aspect of the Artificer class flavor, the whole point is that the Psi Crystal is an external artificial device. And that this particular device manipulates telepathic properties, feels fine. [/QUOTE]
