[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 9767911, member: 50987"] Every time this subject comes up, you can count on me saying the same two things. [SPOILER=First Thing] Everything you need to create a classic "psion" in 5E D&D has already been written...just go with Sorcerer and use the optional Spell Points system in the DMG. If you need more than that, you could play as a duergar, githyanki, or githzerai (from MP:MotM), or choose a human and take the Telekinetic or Telepathic feat (from [I]Tasha's[/I])...but there's really no need. You could also pick the Aberrant Mind subclass (also from [I]Tasha's[/I]) if that still wasn't psionic-y enough. [/SPOILER] [SPOILER=Second Thing]If you don't agree that psions are just sorcerers with fresh paint, you should check out [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/505296/paranormal-power-the-esper-class-and-powers'][B]Paranormal Power[/B][/URL], by our own [USER=6796468]@Steampunkette[/USER] . I think it's the best resource for psionics outside of the 5E D&D core ruleset.

This is just my response to all of the comments about what D&D "needs," or what Wizards of the Coast "needs" to do. "Need" is a very strong word. [/QUOTE]
