[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 7865509, member: 18"] I don't think that really is an issue. I suspect plenty of people have never or very rarely seen plenty of classes. From what WotC have said this is essentially a problem of WotC's own manufacture. 3E and 4E both implemented Psionics very differently, didn't put it in the PHB and 3E did so relatively late in proceedings. Now WotC complains that many people ask for Psionics but they want different versions. What a shock! Also it rings very hollow as an excuse because they have had very different iterations of other classes too, and simply chose one specific take. Hell, they have Bards who don't even have songs in 5E, and are full casters! That's a very aggressive take. I feel like this is largely down to the people in charge at WotC themselves not being keen on Psionics and thus no-one championed a specific vision internally, thus they listen too much to people via UAs, and dither and come out with utter tosh like the "Psionics Wizard". Even the Fighter subclass is pretty confused and vision-less. If they'd just stuck with Mystic (preferably with a less ghastly name) they'd already be done, but nope, a lack of vision and general wimpishness prevailed. [/QUOTE]
