[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7673903, member: 996"] The 'core 4' classes, presumably, if they'd gone heavily for sub-classing and multi-classing to deliver on the promised 'every class appearing in a prior PH1.' OTOH, if they'd gone with a full class for everything, there'd've be 15 or so, instead of 12. So it's not like the sub-class idea was completely rejected. The Assassin and Illusionist became sub-classes. The EK (never in a PH1, but multi-class Fighter/Magic-Users at 1st level were in 1e & 2e) is conceptually very similar to the Ranger and Paladin (fighter-caster hybrid), but is just another sub-class. The Battlemaster fighter-sub-class stands in, very unsuccessfully, for two classes. As long as "right" is broader and leaves more room for options than your idea of 'right.' ;) Charisma is at least suggestive of projecting will, so seems ideal. Wisdom represents mental resilience (WIS saves). Intelligence might analogous to 'mental agility,' but seems the least appropriate of the three. Of course, the psion could be MAD, using CHA for attack modes, WIS for power points, INT for disciplines & sciences or something along those lines. [/QUOTE]
