[QUOTE="lkj, post: 7781003, member: 18646"] So, I've got a good news/bad news thing here for you. The good news: Mearls, back when he was doing Happy Fun Hour and working on psionics, changed the name from Mystic to Psion. While this wasn't a final, final decision, it seemed like the way they were leaning. The bad news: Mearls was doing a major re-work of psionics. He'd created several psionic subclasses and was completely reworking the psionic classes. So if you like the original UA, you might not like the new direction. That said, I really thought he was putting together something very cool. I'd also say the bad news #2 is that it seems very unlikely all that work was for Eberron. The only setting Mearls mentioned as needing psionics at the core was Dark Sun. And the state of the mechanics as he left them definitely needed a lot more playtesting (since they were brand new). And we haven't seen any of that. If you're interested in what he was doing, this page has a nice summary: [url]https://thinkdm.org/hfh/[/url] But it's important to remember that these were mostly first passes where he was working through ideas. Not anywhere near final. AD [/QUOTE]
