[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8596571, member: 63508"] I don't think there is really a divide of what psionics between fans who really want psionics. I think that if you polled "How much do you want Psionics in 5th edition?" 0 meaning I don't want Psionics at all and 5 meaning I really want one or more Psionics classes, you'd get the whole range from 0s, 1s, 2s,3s, 4s, and 5s. All the 5s would be okay with the same mechanics. The 5s would individually have preferences but would support something around the same thing. Similar with the 4s, 3s, 2s etc . However the 5s, 3s, and 1s would [B]not[/B] want the same mechanic. That's the core problem I think for psionics. You cant get a mechanic that the people who really like Psionics, the people just like Psionics, and the people who sorta like Psionics will all agree on. Like the Tasha's Psionics is good enough for a 2 or 3. But since it doesn't delve heavy enough into Psionic possibilities, isn't a full class, and the lore is short, it isn't enough for a 4 or 5. And it's too much for a 1. And a 0 doesn't even want it. [/QUOTE]
