[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6666047, member: 57383"] There's mention of a Mystic class in a Gary Gygax editorial in [I]Dragon Magazine #65[/I], but it's just a paragraph with a basic outline of the class concept. It was a variant class of Cleric he was considering for "the AD&D expansion volume" which eventually became the first [I]Unearthed Arcana[/I]. The editorial mentions a bunch of other classes, but most of them got cut out, and only the Cavalier and Thief-Acrobat made it to print. I've read claims that Gygax was planning on incorporating the class in his take on "2nd edition AD&D", but he got kicked out of TSR before that got much development. Unfortunately, that 1E Mystic's class writeup never got published. There may be some other Mystic class that appeared in a 1E issue of [I]Dragon[/I], but I can't think of one offhand. Getting back on track, personally I'm not in favour of using on Mystic for a psionic-using class, I'd far prefer Psychic, Psion or maybe Mentalist. To me, Mystic is a name that's far more appropriate to a variant divine class. The name's got a long association with secret and/or solitary religious practices. [/QUOTE]
