That's exactly the kind of bloat I dislike.It's worth pointing out that Arcana isn't just about magic. It is about all sorts of supernatural things, of which psionics should definitely qualify.I'm assuming we'll get pyrokinesis and telekinesis with the kineticist style subclass that was referenced in the first draft. Hopefully we'll see that subclass on the next draft, as I expect there will be about 2 more subclasses, and only one one additional draft in which to see them before rules finalization.Yep.At this point, I don't think they have much data since they haven't asked about the fluff at all. The only feedback they have on it whatsoever (unless they are reading these forums) is write-in answers on the survey and/or tweeting/contacting the designers.Unfortunately that isn't quite correct. It does specifically say that psionics comes from the Far Realms (indirectly), no "may", no "might", no "one possible origin."As written, all psionics relies on the Far Realms making incursions into the world--even though there is absolutely no reason for it to be so, and the very examples given in the text work just as well without the Far Realms even existing, much less influencing a particular world.Completely agree. It would be effortless. We should all let them know that we'd like them to make that effortless change.Of the people who actually care what the fluff says, a good number of us appear to dislike the Far Realms as the only explanation for psionics existing in a world. There are also lot of people don't care one bit what the official fluff says. So if you are writing fluff, should you write it for the people who don't care what you are writing, or for the people who do?I mean, if even 10% of people are dissatisfied with something in survey results, we've been told before that they tend to give serious consideration to changing it. I would say that of the people who actually care about the fluff quite a bit higher than 10% of us dislike the Far Realms connection.They need to ask the question on the survey so we have the chance to make ourselves heard.</blockquote>
