[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7223124, member: 996"] At least we're consistent. ;) In the case of psionics, I certainly see the genre-consistency issue, but if my choice is play in a game that's more science-fantasy (IMHO) due to the inclusion of psionics, and just sorta turn a blind eye to it, vs not play at all, or try to impose the preference on a fellow player, I'll adjust. It is a personal decision. There's a point where it's just "why play at a table that has too many things going on that I don't care for?" There are other tables. But, it's inevitable with 5e's design philosophy that sitting down to play at a 5e table doesn't guarantee you a specific sub-genre experience, while DMing 5e does give you the opportunity to create the genre experience you want, though the amount of work to get there may vary with sub-genre you have in mind. WotC providing the mystic adds a 'don't opt-into-the-Mystic' step to that. Not a great burden compared to 'create 5e psionics rules.' [/QUOTE]
