I just want to make one addition.The psionicist class was introduced in an excellent issue of Dragon magazine before 2nd Edition. I wish I could remember the issue, but I can provide the following details: faerie dragons on the cover; a really neat orc related dungeon (an award winner) inside; an ecology of the mind flayer; an article on Deryni (the Katherine Kurtz created fantasy race), that, in retrospect, was failed by the existing AD&D rules. The psionicist was a class introduced through an article supplementing the Deryni article. I don't have my copy of the magazine handy (obviously), but as far as I rememebr the class introduced the standard AD&D psionic attack and defense modes over time, along with choices for psionic powers from the existing list along with few new powers developed for the article. If one took the class, one could not have psionics through the standard method of character generation.</blockquote>
