While we wait for it anyone that wants to use it has to tinker up home brew stuff or attempt past edition conversions. Another less desirable scenario is that several third party companies put out several disparate versions of the Psionics rules and each player has to adjust from group to group.D&D Fourth Edition Psionics had their own feel and were balanced just fine versus the other classes. Revised Third Edition Psionics also had a different flavor and were balanced versus the arcane casters much better than in First or Second Edition AD&D. And generally, Psionics were suppressed by anti-magic fields and the like since Version 3.0.As a player I am not too interesting in running a Psion character at this time but as a Dungeon Master I want these rules quantified officially so that any of my interested players will know how they work. Psionics has been part of D&D since the Original Edition and it never goes away. In my opinion it would have been nicer if they put the Psion class in the Player's Handbook from the start. Hopefully we will see something for it in 2015.</blockquote>
