Always happy to know it's out there, seeing use! <3Another thing about D&D fans and the community is that they (we) cannot agree on what these subclasses are supposed to look like, or what power level is appropriate for a druid, or even what an 'arcane gish' is, etc. We are our own worst enemies.
You talk about the people who want to play a particular version of the Beastmaster or Warlord as if they represent a unified whole, and I doubt that's the case. I think that if you asked 100 people on ENWorld what a "warlord" is supposed to be, you'll get dozens of different answers before it dissolves into an argument.
Before the Paranormal Power Kickstarter came along (thanks again, @Steampunkette ), the only psion I played was an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer that used the optional Spell Points rule in the DMG. It works a lot better than most folks claim...and while a handful of people here and on Reddit still really like that version, the disagreeable majority will have none of it.
And yeah. Still mad WotC won't make a proper psionic character. Almost want to send them a copy of Paranormal Power and say "This is a way to do it that is unique and engaging!"
But also after the OGL thing... I don't wanna give them anything.
