[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 7149911, member: 6677017"] Okay, makes sense. A couple of reasons. 1) We're discussing previous iterations of psionics in D&D, and potential connections to the Far Realms through those. 2) Some of us liked a lot of what was done in the previous mystic playtest, but want to make it [U]absolutely clear[/U] that the built-in connection between Far Realm and psionics was [I]not[/I] something we liked about it. :) (In case a WotC designer is reading this thread, for example.) Was 4e explicit that psionics come from the Far Realm? Because 3e and before weren't, so Forgotten Realms psionics from those eras wouldn't be officially from the Far Realm. It's also worth noting that while 4e (I think) made all aberrations from the Far Realm, and 3e may have at least hinted at that, that is not the case in 5e. Someone even mentioned something to that effect in a tweet. Aberrations have different origins. Some are from the Far Realm or influenced by it; some aren't. In fact, 5e has actually been pretty conservative on actually saying "X is from the Far Realm". I think they are leaving a lot of that up to individual interpretation. [/QUOTE]
