[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8010140, member: 6801228"] Yeah, which is why I think that there is really not going to be anything new with the Psionic. It is going to be spellcasters with a neat trick that has the name psychic stapled on it, but without new mechanics, the only thing left for people to play psion characters is going to be spellcasters. Which a lot of people don't want. This is a tangent, but yes. I've never understood why they seem to think natural weapons are powerful, and I've consistenly been floored by how weak they make healing abilities. Or, Orcish fury. The feat is literally "deal an extra d8 damage once per short rest" unless you drop to zero hp. That isn't that good. at all. I hope so. Sure, I've messed around with making things occasionally, but I still like seeing new ideas. The tattoo system was a new thing, magic items don't work that way, except know I can think of them doing things like that where you can have multiple items in the same attunement slot. What I worry about slightly is that if we don't create some new systems eventually, then it is all spellcasting all the time. And as much as I can argue for that in homebrew (because it makes things easier) that doesn't mean I really want it being the only way the designers work within the game space. [/QUOTE]
