[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 6948279, member: 6780330"] We'll see; [MENTION=697]mearls[/MENTION] said at the Gameholecon panel that more Race options over the long term than Class is likely, given what people want; this is what they said about what the feedback on the survey when they first mentioned the expansion: "In our last survey, we asked you which areas of D&D you thought needed expansion, and solicited feedback for the latest revision of the mystic character class and new rules for psionics.
