Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dragonhelm" data-source="post: 6660334" data-attributes="member: 3867">When 3e came about, the sorcerer class was introduced. Dragonlance already had a sorcerer in the form of a Fifth Age role. Sovereign Press, who held the Dragonlance license, tried to create an alternate class to fit the DL sorcerer more, but WotC mandated that the DL sorcerer be the 3e sorcerer. Eventually, the Academy Sorcerer prestige class was created to give a bit of the Fifth Age sorcerer flavor back. If history repeated itself, the psionic mystic would not be the best fit. In some areas, it would be fine. But the connection to the Far Realm really would not fit the Dragonlance flavor. Of course, the class could be re-skinned. Still, it would be missing things like healing (a HUGE staple of the mystic) and the sphere of Animism (which translates best to the Nature domain). For anyone interested, I did a 5e conversion of the mystic, inspired by the favored soul.<a href="http://dragonlancenexus.com/rules/sorcerous-origin-mysticism/" target="_blank">Mystic Sorcerer (Sorcerous Origin: Mysticism)</a>I think WotC is kind of following the trend that Paizo is doing by having psionics, but making it more fantasy-flavored.</blockquote>
