I'm curious to hear from the folks who voted Druid and Monk. Those are definitely new angles.
You don’t actually. Counting a ki point as a “spell level”, like most monk subclasses do except for the underpowered 4 Elements monk, gives you spell resources roughly parallel to the warlock for the 1st 10 levels.Monk makes sense from a disciplined/thematic standpoint. But man, you'd really have to ramp the "ki"/PSP to make it workable as a "magic" using class.
I was just about to say something very similar.I’d also note that this poll is about what class makes sense as a template mechanically. The fact that a class might have thematic resonance with a psion is pretty orthogonal to that question.
Warcraft does something similar, by giving psychic powers to its Priest class. I think a linkage between psionic and divine tropes is intriguing.As an aside, I'm a fan of how Starfinder essentially combined the Cleric, Druid, and Psion into a Mystic Class via its Subclasses that is meant to represent the mysticism and spiritualism of these concepts.
In that case, I suppose I'm persuaded: Warlock.I was just about to say something very similar.This is just a template, a starting point. The end result should look very different from anything on this list.

Druid is actually really interesting
