[Exp.Psionics] New issue of Dragon reveals info. (Now corrected by Bruce C.)

[The Mirrorball Man]

So basically they have finally come to their senses and adopted my house rules as the official D&D psionic rules? About time!

Sweeeet
but... what is MAD???

Multiple ability dependency.

Heck, I was going to buy the book for the cool cover alone, but this news just makes the purchase even more worthwhile.

Goth feel?

I could see making s comment about comic booky or X-Men feel to the psionics, but goth? I don't get the connection.

Maybe not quite as appropriate- the pictures (especially the psywarrior iirc) were quite goth imo. This is of course reference to the stylistic modern movement by teens not the artistic and architectural movement.

The more I hear about about the Expanded Psionics Handbook, the more I want it!

[Hardhead]

Sounds great.

 

[Urbanmech]

I can't wait. It really sounds like they have looked at all the problems that plagued 3.0 Psionics and done their best to fix them. Gonna get my money on release day.

 

[reiella]

Nor me. Whats so goth-feel about Psions?

The ectoplasm references may be construed as a 'goth' type aspect, although that's more of a 19th century thing.

Ah I see, the Psychic Warrior being more akin to the early 20th century style? Hmm, new use of goth to me (personally, may just be me goofy).

Anyway topicality.
I was excited about 3.0 Psi... Alot. I enjoyed it... alot. The problems were a big disappointment however, and simply a concept that failed in practice baring the cheese.

I already use Psionics in my game as a replacement for Arcane magic, and it sounds like they are fixing the problems with it. Now, if they can just get psionics up to the same power level as everything else without having to use the few broken loopholes, I'll be even happier. So will the player of the Savant in my game.
In the game I play in, I play a Constructor. I wonder if that'll still be a viable archetype.
