Not when using the app, it aintAlso [MENTION=12731]CapnZapp[/MENTION] - multi-quote function is a little to the right of the "Reply with Quote" button
Besides, the way multiquotes don't toggle off automatically after being used (meaning every other quote brings them in, at least for that browsing session) generally means they're much too bothersome even when I do access the site using my computer (as I do now).
I actually prefer if the three archetypes does not share the same base class, if they can pull off the uniqueness without doing that.My hopes is as CapnZapp stated, that it's its own class and has at least 3 unique subclasses and then they add a few of these other psionic subclasses to other classes later on that can access the "Spell List" of the psion/mystic whatever Mearls decides to name it in the end.
In other words. A Psion class (mystic or whatever) with a decent selection of subclasses is the core; fulfilling "telepath" "oracle" and other psionic non-combaty concepts.
Then a subclass of fighter. It gets the bare essential martial abilities, which mostly means the gear profiencies and the second and third attacks. Everything else is switched out for Psychic Warrior goodness. (if previous editions are anything to go by, this will quickly get very powerful).
Finally a subclass of rogue. Offering up a "psychic hexblade" concept married to "shadow psi monk".
So one new class with at least three subclasses. Preferably less power in the base class (than wizard) allowing more differentation in the subclasses (all schools of wizardry, with the possible exception of bladesingers, are very similar). Since psionics should not just be spells refluffed (and hopefully not even spell points relabeled power points), and because of the greater differentiation between subclasses, this needs to be its own class.
And then at least two more subclasses, piggybacking on PHB classes (most easily fighter and rogue). Here I can agree the concepts don't support enough variety for unique classes, and so subclasses of existing classes it is.
Smushing together everything in just one single class, however, would be a mistake. Just like Fighter and Wizard should never be melded.
