[QUOTE="Hatmatter, post: 9365025, member: 75077"] Well, I will weigh in here cautiously as I am not that committed -- merely thinking out loud: there is reasonable concern that the law of unintended consequences might make a new psionic system independent of the spell system possibly (especially in multi-classing situations) result in over-powered options. As I am sure you know, [I]that[/I] was a specter that took over much of the discourse around 3rd edition and the D&D designers have been (rightfully) concerned about keeping it in check for 4th and 5th edition, using different means to do so in each case. They have even acknowledged in the last couple weeks in the [I]Game Informer[/I] interview that even after the extensive playtest of D&D Next, part of the object of class and subclass revisions in the PHB coming out in a few months is to make sure that some multi-class options are not over-powered (while, at the same time, they are trying to preserve other, popular multi-class options).
