Gain fatigue.
I went with the noetic "Limit Break"My main worry about this is that you end up going nova and then sleep.
....Maybe if the downside was short, like 1 turn?
Overload.
Your attack deals maximum damage and then you are stunned until the end of your next turn.
Gain fatigue.
Which makes you want take a long rest.So you better make it count when you use it, 'cause you're losing access to an ability and you can't do it, again, for the rest of the day.
You're limited in how many long rests you can take in a day, however. So the DM's answer should be "No."Which makes you want take a long rest.
Stunned for a turn doesn't.
Unless you gain exhaustion for a turn. That might work. Or some other short term penalty.
There is the Kineticist class from 1st and 2nd edition Pathfinder, and the Elementalist class for Level Up from Purple Martin Games.(I'm not completely averse to something like pyromancy or cryomancy or the like, but I'm more inclined to have that concept be a separate Elementalist class.)
You still don't want them to be able to spend all your points and overload in the first battle any more than the paladin doing 3 smites a turn.You're limited in how many long rests you can take in a day, however. So the DM's answer should be "No."
Or, better yet "You don't have time because things are still happening!"

My homebrew psion version has this element (which explains why I want it included).My main worry about this is that you end up going nova and then sleep.

I don't want to derail the official announcement thread but I am very curious:
For those that are not happy with the "psionicist as spellcaster" paradigm, what is it that you actually want to see? Why?
And as a secondary consideration: is it just psionics that you want to be different? How would you feel if sorcery, miracles and spell singing were also completely different than "spellcasting"?
For the record, I have no dog in this fight. I don't actually care about psionics at all. I do think it would be cool if every form of magic was mechanically distinct, but I doubt that would ever occur. But I am very interested in the thoughts of folks that seem to care very much about this issue.
So is the Dragonfire Adept class from 3e.The kineticist is a refluffed D&D 3.5 warlock.
