[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 8558496, member: 6877472"] I would love for Dreamscarred to work on 5e Psionics, but I can see three issues that may be preventing them from doing so. First, the current OGL is way more finicky than the 3.x version, which they may find problematic as long as they can still pay the bills by making supplements for other games. Second, 5e is a very different beast, with fewer decision points upon level up for most characters. Like if you make a psionic subclass that doesn't use "powers", like the original soulknife, you have what, 5 levels where you can present new abilities over the course of a career? And you have to make them all relevant for when you get them. And finally, the game is about to undergo some restructuring. I remember a lot of 3rd party supplements who got taken off guard by 3.5 and quickly had to try and make their latest product compliant to the new version of the rules. So publishing anything before the Anniversary Edition is finalized (whatever form it takes) might be counter-productive. Best to wait for the dust to settle first. [/QUOTE]
