[QUOTE="Ezequielramone, post: 7994137, member: 6762048"] I saw a few, but never 100% official (if there is something "official" in RPGs).I started playing pathfinder and rapidly moved to the dm seat after my first campaign. After a few years I allowed Psionics Unleashed from Dreamscarred press. Really good book. And one player used that class where you create a custom psionic armour. He was playing Ironman (or Psionicman). Then I moved to 5e and one player started playing a mystic. Since I was dming I allowed the mystic class. After a few months I bought a convention really close to 2e psionics and adapted that character. Really big mistake. Never again.
