[QUOTE="Alisair Longreach, post: 5139549, member: 50851"] The Psion goes back to the 2. ed. Psionicist class which was an update of the first edition Psionics rules. Psionics itself was inspired by certain novels by Paul Anderson and Alfred Bester who probably got inspired by the late 19th century Mesmerism fad. The Ardent comes from the 3.5 class in Complete Psionic. The Battlemind comes from the 3.0 Psychic Warrior class which was inspired by the Jedi of Star Wars. The Runepriest might be inspired by the 2. ed. Runecaster class from the Vikings historical reference supplement. The Seeker is inspired by the 3.0 Arcane Archer prestige class. The Artificer comes from the 3.5 Eberron setting and was probably inspired by the Artifice school in the 2. ed. supplement Player's Option: Spells & Magic and maybe further back to the Tinker Gnomes of Dragonlance.
