Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dragonhelm" data-source="post: 4840125" data-attributes="member: 3867">Me too! I agree.  I want to see the psionic disciplines remain somehow.  My guess is that the psion may choose between 5-6 disciplines, kind of like how the warlock chooses between pacts.  Although, the disciplines may be the foundation for a series of paragon paths.I could see psicrystals being used as an implement.They better!  What I'm guessing, though, is that it will take the form of 4e's powers.  Attack vs. Will.  Which is funny, because that hearkens back to the revised 2e version with MTHAC0 and MAC.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Possibly, though I personally hope to see disciplines as I described above.I'm hoping it's either a power or a feat that gives you a power.  Or it could be part of a paragon path.  Really, there's no reason a psion shouldn't have mindblades.  One of the influences of mindblades was Psylocke from X-Men fame, and back in the day, she used a mindblade as well as other psionic powers.Agreed.  My fear is that 4e psionics will be the same as every other power.  I always liked the power points/psionic strength points.  In fact, I chose the psionicist in 2e just for the simple fact that I could use the same power over and over so long as I had points left.  Plus, it's hard to argue against the great work that Bruce R. Cordell did with Malhavoc's various psionics books.  I still want to try out various PrCs from those books!My guess is that 4e psionics will look like other powers, but maybe include some of the pseudoscience.  Not exactly the answer I was hoping for, but alas.I would also say that the wilder will become a build.  The soulknife is probably out since we have the monk as striker.  No great loss, IMO, so long as we have either a soulknife paragon path or a mindblade power.  I also imagine the psychic warrior will return to represent the power of psychometabolism (which the monk kind of does too).  So, lessee, what would the classes be?Controller - PsionDefender - Psychic WarriorLeader - Ardent Mind? (forget the exact name)Striker - Monk (confirmed)Although...wouldn't it be freaky if the psionic leader was a telepath and used his telepathic abilities to boost his friends and hinder his enemies?  He would be a leader, but it would be through manipulation.  Of course, that might work with the controller too.</blockquote>
