Message: <blockquote data-quote="JiffyPopTart" data-source="post: 8099498" data-attributes="member: 4881">I will attempt to sum up my past 3 or 4 years of discussion experience here so that it might save you some time shouting into the wind....To many posters on this board the logic goes....Fact 1: 5e is the bestselling version of D&D of all time.Fact 2: A design goal for 5e was to make the game rules fairly simple and accessible to a larger crowd than previous editions.False Conclusion 1: Every design choice made by WotC to achieve Fact 2 was a good choice for the game because of Fact 1 and therefore your opinions that a design is bad or lackluster is incorrect because the masses aren't complaining about it.False Conclusion 2: Whenever content is added to 5e it has to conform to systems in the base game because Fact 2 says that everything has to be accessible to the largest number of players as possible.False Reasoning 1:  Unrelated to Facts 1 and 2 stated above, there is a strange resonating logic that "WotC cannot publish an idea unless it meets X% of public approval" despite the fact that most books released undergo no public approval process and the only reason they need "public approval" is because of rules set by (and ignorable by) the very body that chooses to publish those ideas in the first place.....so at the end of the day the psion you are going to get (speculatively, the book isn't out yet to be factual) is a type of SORCERER and you can't complain about it because 5e is the bestselling game of all time and all new rules have to be simple and accessible and people voted against previous playtests of the psion (including curiously the SORCERER variant but lets just ignore that).</blockquote>
