[QUOTE="Graf, post: 2847767, member: 3087"] I hadn’t looked at the marshall when it first came out. I looked at it again recently and I’ve revised my opinion a bit… it looks a bit like a supped up version of the divine mind (i.e. its main power, the auras are more potent than the Divine Mind). It looks like it would be an interesting class for an NPC boss. I disliked the Mini’s Handbook classes (except the often reprinted warmage) when it first came out, but I have to admit that I may have missed something. As for which classes were supported… All would have been the best, if it was originally included in a complete book one would hope that it was worthy of support. On the other hand lots of people don’t have the Complete Books, so it’s hard to imagine that they would spend a huge amount on supplements that are not required. The Oriental classes were more of a mixture of existing systems and spells than base classes. Psionics? They didn’t have a enough decent psionic material to round out the Complete Psion, it’s not like they were suddenly going to have lots of high quality psionics stuff to add to the PHB II. So you would have had more unpopular psionic material (irritating the crowd that likes that stuff) -and- the people who don’t like psionics at all. No. No psionics was the best call they could have made. [/QUOTE]
