[QUOTE="Vael, post: 8098124, member: 57043"] The Mystic needs work. Some of the initial concepts are ... pretty interesting, I like packaging abilities into Disciplines, Psychic Focus is pretty flavorful, the power point progression up to level 10 is functionally just the spell point system from the DMG, so it's reasonably on par with other full casters ... But as noted, it has a fairly powerful Nova capacity, and if built for melee, can dominate the game. I also find the Psionic Mastery feature inelegant, as in it's just written poorly and I doubt will play well, tracking this "special" pool of points. Because it's kinda a full caster that doesn't get 6th level or higher spells, just more lower-level abilities, you do end up with a muddy class. I think it's fixable. Drop most of the stuff that's clearly for Soulknives and Psychic Warriors and push them to a d6 hit die. Add more telekinesis, it's the one main Psionic feature that is sorely lacking, and rework their progression for level 10 and higher. Psionic Mastery is a mess, kill it and find another way for it to have higher level abilities. [/QUOTE]
