It’s one of the Psionic archetypes that people who want to play a Psion think of, so that should be doable without having to also be a wizard. And I think as Mearls continues to iterate on this design, that’s going to become clearer. The Psion is going to end up feeling like it’s missing a core part of its identity as a class, and that’s going to lead towards a push either for a telepathic Psion subclass, or for the base class to include a lot of those features.</blockquote>
