[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4533045, member: 70778"] I think the nature of psionics as most would want are not easily translated into their own class or would fit in D&D. Either you would have something that would be useless for combat, or overpower any other class abilities. The easiest thing to do would be to just have a specialist wizard that doesnt' work with spell components and such. The thing about 4th is, that is all wizards. So the spells that a "psionicist" would need are not that different than something a wizard should already be able to use, as the power source shouldn't be any real different, or it will be causing a lot of damage to the psionicist if the power is derived from self, which would make it potentially counter productive in battle where the most useful parts of those powers are. I think it would work best as something like a specialty wizard that has access to the wizard type damaging spells, but works most with status effects to get the best fit for D&D. But I don't really like the idea of drawing the power from self, as the repercussions that requires to be dealt on the body. It just doesn't lend itself well to D&D. [/QUOTE]
