[QUOTE="Todd Roybark, post: 7878815, member: 6920677"] Yes [USER=779]@Kobold Avenger[/USER], I would like to read your reasoning. My copy of 2e Complete Psionics Handbook, was destroyed many years ago, (along w/ most of my 2e books), but from memory, it was to my mind [I]the best[/I] stand alone Psionic system to date. It suffered, as all later Psionic systems, (barring the tacked on 1e system), of being released towards the end of 2e,(or respective systems release cycle), and I remember making two different Psionicists that I voluntarily retired due to being overly effective vis a vis the rest of the group. That Hurt as I really enjoyed the Deryini novels as a youth. As an aside, I never thought Athlas was a good fit for Psionics. I also never used the Player Option/ DM option series of books. Those books were too munchkin-y for me, and I was a self described power gamer then. Sigh....do we need more 5e recycle rehash? Given that I highly doubt any current product released by Hasbro is going to be as in depth as that 2e Complete Psionics.....isn’t a reskinned Warlock w/ Shadow blade....a good version of the movie Dreamscape, which is clearly the inspiration for the Soul Blade.
