I wont comment on the eberron thing, however for the spell points I think a major comparison is being missed.People are saying Mystics are given too much versatility due to spell points, a spell slot full caster can only cast x spells where a mystic can cast their low level spells all day. That is true! however a wizard has access to 34? first level spells and a dozen cantrips while a mystic has access to 3 and a single pseudo cantrip so while they may be able to do it all day long they can do one very specific thing while a wizard can do several different things during the day. This is the exact same tradeoff you see between wizards > Sorcerer +/- = Bard > warlock > mystic.Based on the given progression of disciplines (2 active 1 passive) and 3 available by 5th level it would seem logical that each tier has 2-3ish disciplines so a max level mystic will have 2-3 options to choose from per equivalent spell level (each discipline has a low mid and top end ability for each tier) that is very restrictive. There has also been a lot of talk of multiclassing, since concentration is required for practically all abilities mystic is only really viable as a multiclass to rogue/fighter unless they get later abilities that trump normal spellcasting concentration classics ala fly, haste, hex and then it is at the cost of bonus actions.overall i quite like it.</blockquote>
