[QUOTE="Mecheon, post: 9364917, member: 6801776"] How popular was that back in the day? I know 1E to 2E had its drama in Dragon Magazine and I do recall a bunch of illusionist players complaining their class and playstyle got cheated away People want the psionic mechanics expanded into a class of its own, just like how other classes borrow from the wizard or cleric. Plus, like... What, they can't have pages of spells while the cleric and wizard get their whole lions share? Its not like its going to be exclusive just to them I mean, have you ever seen Professor X do any of those things just off the bat? Its your body transforming in some way, with the stated explanations including failed Illithid-turning, so, its not necessarily psychic. The ability's called Revelations in Flesh which, due to the name alone, gives you an idea what's happening there And, yeah, the niche ability to do aberrant things makes sense on the Aberrant Mind sorcerer that has half of its explanations tied to various aberration enemies throughout D&D's history. That prevents it being a true psion because, shock and horror, the true psion would have its own set of sub-classes that build off other ideas to do their own thing. ????? 5E PHB, page 99 Sorcerers carry a magical birthright conferred upon them by an exotic bloodline, some otherworldly influence, or exposure to unknown cosmic forces. Yes, 5E sorcerers can have their powers due to bloodlines. Its just not the only option. Plus like.... Y' do know the proper name of Draconic Sorcerer is Draconic Bloodline sorcerer, right? Just everyone shortens it [/QUOTE]
