I think a majority of players just want new stuff, and psionics is just more new stuff. I don't think most 5e players (which at this point is a majority made up of people who never even played D&D before 5e) even know what psionics is from a prior edition.And then a pretty meaningful number are parents coming back to the game from having only played 1e - which didn't really focus on psionics as it's own class for the most part.We're not really in the world of former-3e players being the majority of 5e-players. A lot of 3e-players went to Pathfinder. This board was founded on 3e, and it has a backbone of older users who have been here since 3e, but I don't think 3e-based players are that big a chunk of 5e-players anymore.So no, I'd say a majority of 5e-players really don't have much of a preference one way or the other in psionics as a class vs series of subclass. For those who specifically want psionics, I don't know if that's a meaningful question. If 100 units of people want "new stuff" which could include psionics, and 30 of those want psionics specifically (a minority), and 18 of those want a psionic class specifically (so a majority of that minority), is that really a meaningful number given it's just 18 of 100 ?</blockquote>
