People want something more distinct than another spell list, and I can almost guarantee they will get overwhelming evidence of that if they put out a playtest on it.Also, there is a discrepancy in the idea of a spell list not being tied to any class...but then also being used by the mystic. Doesn't that make it the Mystic class spell list?And if they do also include a full mystic class, I don't see a high percentage of people who will use psionic subclasses but not allow the mystic class--unless they do a poor job on the class. Maybe 35% of groups tops. Just make a good class, and most of those groups will use it, and then the spell list idea becomes superfluous. Also, we really don't need a lot of psionic classes. 2e, which had the most distinctive and interesting psionics, had a single class, and then wild talents. 3e and 4e felt the need to make multiple psionic classes, but that's just unnecessary. Sure, we could have some limited psionic subclasses, but we don't need to go overboard here. Make a Wild Talent feat similar to Magic Initiate, and maybe another one or two feats that could grab you some psionic ability.Class, a couple subclasses, a feat or three, all of it done well, and it's done.</blockquote>
