[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8290211, member: 18"] I would not expect a book like that to happen in 5E. It doesn't make sense to how 5E works. What I would expect is that in a book with a different focus, like say, Dark Sun, a Psion class appears, maybe a little longer than the Artificer but not excessively so, and that generally Psionics are just treated as "character abilities". The whole weeble wooble stuff about how they interact with magic and so on is both unnecessary and makes no sense in 5E. It would in 2E or 3E, where magic was explicitly magic and Arcane or Divine (no such division exists in 5E), and where there were generalized rules etc. about this, but look at the Soulknife or Psi Warrior, do they have any special interactions with magic? Nah because they just have abilities. The same for say, a Paladin's Smite. Sure it uses up spell slots, but does it interact with magic/spells? Not unless they say it does. Psionics would be the same - character abilities. Do they interact with magic? Only if the magic says they do. Think 5E, not 3E, imho. [/QUOTE]
