I'm not sure that's any real improvement. Will there be pieces of mental armor? Mental shields? Mental weapons?Psionics was always tacked-on because it's a tacked-on concept. You can do pretty much anything with spells. You can read thoughts, predict the future, control minds, and teleknetically move objects. A character could focus on these spells and easily be considered a mentalist of sorts. Of course, he wouldn't be confused with a 3rd-edition psionicist because they're way to busy laying down ubernukes to do any of that cliched clairvoyance junk.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> It is interesting to use psionics as a way to employ new techniques with resource expenditure, and in that respect I agree they've been mishandled.I think the preview directly indicates they're actively avoiding the one-trick-pony pitfall that the warlock often finds himself in. They want the jedi to deplete and reshuffle his powers, and I think that works OK. To my recollection most jedi don't use their force powers constantly. They occasionally push or pull an object or opponent, but usually they're mixing it up physically. Guys like Dooku and Yoda are gonna kinda be above the mean, median, and mode by quite a bit.</blockquote>
