[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 5107633, member: 232"] Amata, Arshaka, Arwia, Balashi, Bashanu, Belessunu, Dipana, Erishti This is hard to quantify. 1e and 2e I think psionics really felt different since they used different systems and could do things spells could not. It was also such an add on system and in many ways very easy to abuse. 3e brought a more unified system but was too similar to magic. Magic was so versatile there was little room for psionics. 4e the mechancis of all the classes are so similar that of course psionics are going to be like everything else But the unique powers that ever class gets helps keep it feeling different. For me in the 24 hours I've had with the 4e psionics I do think it is better then 3e. As for if it can overcome the stigma of psionics only time will tell. It's going to take more time then I've had to spend with the book to answer this. Unfortunately reading the PHB3 is not as much a priority as I'd like. [/QUOTE]
