[QUOTE="Mecheon, post: 9361550, member: 6801776"] No it hasn't? The whole point of being a psionic is you don't cast arcane spells. That's wizard territory. Psion, ever since day 1, has been "Weird more different magic (that wizards can't do)" Like, I know older editions can handle this poorly, but its a mechanical distinct thing historically. Basically a "1E, 2E, 3E, 3.5E and 4E did it, 5E can do it as well" situation And hey, maybe it shouldn't be a one class fits all situation. But at present its a "We have no classes filling the hole" situation, whereas at least delving into it would get started on a fix, because we presently have no psionics, 3 classes doing sort-of psychic stuff, and nothing for a dedicated psionic who wants to be a psion first and foremost The Aberrant Mind, per its own name, has that aberration theme to it. It works just as fine for "I have gazed unto the stars and the dark heart of the universe and gained power from the dread revelations therein" and isn't specific to psionics at all. Heck, Revelation in Flesh is basically something I'd want every sorcerer to have, its not a psionic element The psychic warrior wasn't more interesting.
