[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7673917, member: 996"] Sure. Point is, not everything got the full class treatment, so we can't rule out another sub-class treatment. But, psionics got no PH1 treatment at all. Maybe it will prove out that psionics gets something great for waiting. Hope springing eternal and all. The psion just doesn't resonate with me the same way. My impression of psionics was really formed in 1e, and the idea that anyone /might/ be psionic still has a certain nostalgic appeal. That in no way argues /against/ the inclusion of the psion (or other psionic classes), just for some Wild Talent & other options, as well. Even something as simple as a feat or background, though a sub-class (or sub-classes) analogous the EK or AT with psionics in place of wizardy spells would also be potentially cool. Every full caster has at least some spells it doesn't share with other casters, I think. Anyway, even if not, it's a reasonable expectation. Likewise, preferably something to do with psionic power points. Or psionic-on-psionic combat, for that matter. The one thing I really hope to see from the 3.5 take is the psionics is magic/different choice for the DM. Hope to see that supported by mechanics that make that choice easy to implement either way. I can see how that could be as disappointing to a fan of psionics as the battlemaster was to fans of the warlord. [/QUOTE]
