[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6438266, member: 92511"] That makes sense. The only thing with this is that the feat system is supposed to be optional...but then incorporating the psychic powers/classes would be optional as well, I suppose. So if you are using psychics, you'd just 'OK' the feat for wild talents. That works for me without adding a lot of bloat or having to incorporate a lot to make them work. My questions here, and not singling you out [MENTION=67338]GMforPowergamers[/MENTION], you are just the latest to suggest some of this...and it raises the thought, since 5e seems conscious of and wants to minimize "bloat", why would separate "psychic races" be needed? What does adding 4-6 more races[I] add[/I] to the game that they should be put in a book vs. just available for DM's to add as they see fit, as 5e is very clear about/doable? What is wrong with simply letting humans, elves, dwarves, halflings + whatever else is available at that table have psychic powers? And for the classes, especially in the example above, if you have a "PsySpy Fighter" [B][I]or[/I][/B] a "Psyspy Rogue" or "Spy Monk" for that matter [which you kind of already have/could do with a shadow monk and make up a psychic feat], then why would you need both/the others? The "Psy Warrior" could be the fighter psy class [which I'd propose is doable now with Eldritch Knight and just allow enchantment/transmutation magic instead of adjuration/evocation or fluff the abj/evo magic to be psychic damage instead of whatever it is]. Again, not arguing, this is a thread about a wishlist after all. Just curious why people who want all of the separate "psy class X", particularly with specific fluff/flavor like "spy class" or "need psy-blade class -for fighters [I]and [/I]rogues", want that? What does it bring to the game that can not be done with a single set of powers/abilities + role-playing, e.g. I want a "psychic spy fighter" character. So take the psychic fighter and play a spy? I am sincerely curious. [/QUOTE]
