[QUOTE="Giltonio_Santos, post: 7864762, member: 36874"] Well, I decided to do it as a proof of concept. It took me a few more hours than I intended to spend but I think it's playable, even if the initial intention was mainly humorous. It was enjoyable as an exercise on how to make good use of the [URL='https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/']homebrewery[/URL], so I don't feel so bad for the time spent on the endeavor. I tried to remain as close as possible to the PHB fighter but, somewhere along the way, I decided that changing some stuff to make it look more like a genuine mystic was worth the additional tinkering.

(2) This is something I already believed, but now I'm pretty sure that the various tropes associated with psionics build up quickly and are worthy of being presented as a distinct class. (3) Last but not least: just because you [I]can[/I], it didn't mean you [I]should[/I]... :ROFLMAO: Link to the [URL='https://drive.google.com/open?id=1A8gfIfqEuPMx8njwxJeX78aG-tf39OjL']Mystic with a Fighter Chassis[/URL].
