[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 7989987, member: 14159"] I saw psionic characters pretty regularly. In our 2e days, rolling for wild talents was a part of [I]every [/I]character creation. At least half our parties had someone who actually got a wild talent. Probably roughly half our parties also had a psionic character, usually multiclassed. One gaming group I was within the 2e era even had a homebrew "psionic fighter" that was essentially the 3.x psychic warrior before it was even an official thing. In 3e, psionics were still used and around. Maybe a little less often, but were still an option and still were played. DM's tended to love to use psionic treasure as something "exotic", and going to a place where psionics was as prevalent (or moreso) than arcane magic was a common DM trick to convey that this is an alien and strange land that the characters have found themselves in. I even played a year-long campaign in a homebrew settings where psionics was the main form of supernatural power, with arcane magic being rare and divine magic being obscure (to the degree that psionics is in normal games) [/QUOTE]
