[QUOTE="Wycen, post: 5538908, member: 13732"] I like psionics because I want my characters to stand out. Being weird or having "special" powers goes hand in hand with standing out. I never fully understood the psioinic combat system in the back of the 1E DMG, or I never tried, but when 2E psionics came out, those were sweet. The introduction of Dark Sun and the powers from one of their books were even sweeter. Then 3E came out. It was crap for psionics. I tried the Sleeping Imperium system, which may or may not have been better then 3.0, but at least it was different and thus my character stood out. After 3.0 psionics I was pretty stand-offish to any d20 3rd party system. Eventually we had a 3.5 psion join our campaign and the sheer power of the character made even me think, "that's broken". With time of course, I've come to realize the player was always the kind to never read the rules fully and the DM was too trusting. So unintential shenanigans went on. Then I realized after reading some of the 3.5 book myself that I liked the system and it certainly would make a character be special and stand out. But I've never played one. And I wouldn't play a psion in the newest rule release because I'd sure as hell not be special. Ah yes, reminds me of the good old days with Spezial Pyrate Kat and those funny parody posters.
