[QUOTE="Azzy, post: 8104377, member: 6563"] Considering that neither of them are actually arguments that address the inclusion of a skill and feat system in any objective measure, I'm not sure why you would find them "good enough". But that's all you. I'm not exactly sure what your opinion is (aside from your vague response that seems to put you in favor of a skill and feat system). The only opinions that I've shared on the matter of a skill and feat system is that 5e's mechanics are inherently not conducive to a the implementation of such a system (given the limitations of its "skill system" and how feats work in this edition), and that D&D (like other TTRPGs I've enncountered) doesn't actually need a drastically different mechanic to create a distinction between psionics and magic. Neither your opinion nor mine is going to get any vindication from Tasha's. From what we know of Tasha's is that there isn't going to be a psion/psionicist class (I think we both agree that this sucks), instead we are going to get a sorcerer subclass (there may be subclasses for other classes, but those haven't been confirmed) and that the psionic powers are spells that can be cast by the(se) subclass(es). Whether there will be a dedicated psionic class that appears in some later publication (like a Dark Sun setting book)—while we can hope for it, is nothing more than optimistic speculation at this point. If such a class does appear in future, it will likely use the psionic powers as spells as presented in Tasha's. [/QUOTE]
