I enjoy heavy magic campaigns, where magic emulates (and in some ways surpass) modern technology in many ways while coming up short in many other ways. I really enjoy the idea of harnessing the innate mind to progress in a low tech society. I like the idea of this competing with martial, divine, and arcane power sources. (I never bought the idea of primal)But I can't vote "bring it on" because I've never seen psionics done well in any system I've played. White Wolf stuff, GURPS, Star Wars, D&D. To be honest I haven't tried psionics in 4E yet, mostly because I've been burned so many times by the "cool factor" that when I actually tried it in play it was so disappointing.I can't vote "maybe, only if it's done a certain way" because I have no clue what the proper way would be...the only solution I can think of is dismantling the D&D psi power point system completely and make something entirely new in its place. But that's not really fixing the current D&D psi system, that's destroying it and moving the fluff. And I have no idea what to attach the fluff to.I can't vote "keep them away from each other" because I do like having its flavor in most of campaign roles, and the fact that its so different (and inevitably, so difficult to balance) is refreshing while also be frustrating.Ahhh, psionics. Sooo many mixed emotions.</blockquote>
