[QUOTE="abirdcall, post: 7861996, member: 6748898"] While I don't want there to be a Psion class, if there is going to be one I'd like it to be closer to Monk than other classes. I don't want it to be a caster, esp. a full caster. We don't need another class that's just going to pull from the same spell list. We have a ton of those. The alternative to have 30+ special powers to replace spells is far too complicated and involved. It's also going to involve giving them a lot of spell points which they need to micro-manage throughout the day. Instead, look at the Monk. They get 1 Ki per level refreshed on a short rest. They start off with a bunch of abilities they can spend Ki on. At 5th level they get another one. Subclasses give them a couple more (not counting 4E which is a mess). That's all a Psion needs to feel unique. Their abilities can be weighted more towards subclasses as needed as well. People like the martial type Psion I think. Well we don't want that and a full spellcaster. Or even a half spellcaster for that matter, people dislike the spells the Ranger gets. [/QUOTE]
