[QUOTE="Ashrym, post: 7860987, member: 6750235"] [B][SIZE=5]No for my impressions from the UA....[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4]Yeah, I was disappointed the psionicist was not it's own class. That doesn't mean we won't get one but the likelihood seems to have dropped. I also thought it was weird to see a psionicist who needs a spell book but an alternate feature or spell crystal covers it. After giving it some thought, this does remind me more of 1e where psionics was not a class thing but added value if a person was lucky. The difference here is the luck isn't necessary and the choice comes from a trade-off. I can appreciate that approach if that's what we end up with. I was actually thinking that if every class gets a subclass that's psionic I would appreciate it more but the feats (holy cow there are actually feats presented!!) add to it. Soulknife going to rogue works for me. I'm reminded of psychic assassin style guilds and abilities in books, and given that's where the actual assassin is the psychic assassin trope fits in there fine. Psychic warrior looks okay. I think that given psionic spells are already available to a subclass that not duplicating it with a caster table is better. I would look more at keeping non-spell psionic abilities because that's where psionics has the potential to be different. I would much rather see the sorcerer as the template as a main psion if a subclass is the way WotC is going. If all classes get a subclass then it's still going to work for me, possibly with minor changes.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
