So casting the same spells fit.They all cast magic by manipulating the weave and use to weave to interface with raw magic. The only difference between Wizard, Cleric, Warlocks and sorcerer are how the interface with the weave.Wizards do it directly with their Mind and learn my trough study. Clerics and Warlocks do it trough a third-party (God, Patron) and Sorcerers do it trough inborn/innate ability to access the weave.It is all the same magic, just the Operating System differs.Wizards are Linux User, Clerics are apple users, Warlocks are script-kiddies, Sorcerers dream in machine code...okay  every analogy will break down eventually.Psionics in contrast are something completely different. They don't use the weave. They use their own mind and body to power spells.To make them "just cast spells like all the other casters", means they are basically wizards again, who manipulate the weave with their minds.To make them different, you need to acknowledge that.What was proposed here already with using Hit Dice as a ressource would reflect that. Psionics use themselves, if they do big stuff, it exhausts them, can even kill them (so when they are put of Hit Dice, they can use HP to sacrifice to power spells).The funny thing is, the closest to a martial psionic is already jn the game:Monks.Replace Ki with PSI and you already have a martial psionic.</blockquote>
