[QUOTE="Cryptos, post: 4532189, member: 58439"] True, you don't see very many Professor Xavier-style telepaths in most euro-centric medieval fantasy. But you do often see seers and oracles that are distinct from wizards and witches. It's not like all flavors of psionics would be entirely foreign to a setting like D&D. What surprises me is that this so often comes up about psionics and not other elements, like say, monks. To me, this guy is what I think when someone says "monk" in the context of a euro-centric fantasy setting: [IMG]http://www.vincewilding.com/cadfael.jpg[/IMG] This guy... not so much: [IMG]http://www.oneinchpunch.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/shaolin-monk-spear.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
