[QUOTE="Marandahir, post: 8072969, member: 6803643"] What archetypes would you include in the class? WotC weren't able to figure that out by now. But they did figure out that Aberrant Mind was hugely popular, just with optional goo. So why NOT include the option that was popular? It doesn't preclude an Int-based psionic caster from being released in the future, just as the Great Old One Warlock didn't. It just means we're not getting something like the Mystic, where the class was basically a shell for archetypes united only by their use of Psionics (would be like making the Barbarian, Ranger, and Druid all a single class…). We're getting some Psionic options as subclasses because that's what a Psionic Fighter is - a Psionic subclass of a Fighter. But nothing says we couldn't get a full-on Psion class in a [I]Dark Sun Campaign Setting [/I]book - they just need to playtest that concept a lot more. Assuming that people even want that in the grand scheme of things - those who do want it may be a small but vocal minority. Honestly, the difficult part would be getting the licensing agreement with Nintendo, if anything. I agree that that would be a HUGE seller and a very easy sales, and they've already got large swathes of the setting write up from the [I]Hyrule Historia[/I] and its 3 Nintendo Dream successor volumes. Aonuma probably doesn't want to take time off to write and get his ideas translated for a game system that isn't on a Nintendo platform, and getting the license for the title and hiring a 3rd-party English-speaking writer would be a hard sell for Nintendo, I'd bet.
