[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7967610, member: 7006"] My discounting of KISS was regarding the idea that had WotC kept it KISS they could/would have released a psionic system years ago. That just wasn't happening. Now if they do decide to design a Psion for the Dark Sun campaign setting, then absolutely KISS [I]will[/I] be the order of the day. WotC WON'T design a weird or out there system that might thrill a small group of players but which would make most of the playerbase go "Huh?" I think the names you list for potential subclasses are a bit too esoteric than what I would imagine WotC would go with, but there's no reason to think WotC wouldn't go with a telepath, telekinetic, metabolic controller (like the feats were called) set of subclasses for a Psion. Very basic, very simple. The question though is... is it very [I]necessary[/I]? And that's where the rest of 2020 comes in. If/when they release the three psionic subclasses and the wild talent feat that I personally believe they will (psi die and all)... the reaction of the playerbase to them will go a long way in early 2021 in determining for WotC whether designing an additional psion class is necessary. Because if it seems like reactions indicate that the Psionic Soul sorcerer really is all the "psionic caster" most players want... then the need to make another psionic caster as a full class just isn't there and they won't bother. Even with the small but vocal group of players that complain that the sorcerer uses spell components and thus isn't a true psion. [/QUOTE]
