D&D (2024) Psion Class: Green/Yellow/Red?

[Yaarel]

The description of the traffic light system does that.

I for one did not realize that when the designers saw "red", for them it meant "kill the project", rather than rethink it.

think Telekinetic Fling requiring ammunition is a bit unfair. Other spellcasters don't require ammo for Fire Bolt or Ray of Frost or anything like that.

One of the only archetypes I want to play as a psion that isn’t already a subclass is the guy who makes constructs of psionic energy, like a bow or a sword and shield, and fights with them. Throwing stuff is cool, but damn come on let me just shoot psionic energy bolts.

Read the discriptions. Yellow means rethink it, Red means “I hate it”.

If you want a psion, but for it not to be a spellcaster then vote yellow for the class and Red for the spellcasting feature. If you don’t think psionics belongs in a fantasy game, vote red for the psion (it then won’t ask you about specific features).

Now you do! And that is why so many of us are reiterating how the traffic light rating system works. If enough people know to vote yellow instead of red, then hopefully WotC won't kill off the psion again.

Looking at the strawpoll from reddit, psion is 100% getting cancelled.

I just took the pool and the results are firmly in the yellow (60%) with red and green basically tied. Not sure if that means it will get cancelled, but I would say the odds are less than 100%

*It is an odd choice for the graphic to use the color red for the yellow result.

I'm going to say Yellow. I like it but it needs work. Much like many others it seems, as a psychic class I'd want it to use power points over spell slots. PP always worked well in the past for these sort of classes.

I think it’s fair to say that power points having already rejected, they won’t try them again. Going around in circles is not good business.

Person making the table has an axe to grind.
