Or the Portent abilityConceal Thoughts is Mind BlankDream Walking is the Dream SpellConjure Astral Construct could be any summoning spell with a slightly different flavor. But none of that answers the question, what is their schtick? What do they do as a character, just "mind stuff"?Bards have Bardic Inspiration, Expertise and Jack of All Trades. They make their allies better and are skill monkeys. Their magic is illusion and buffing/debuffing primarily So they are similar in support role to the cleric, but without the damage sub-focus that clerics can pull. Warlock has short rest magic, and innate magical powers that turn certain 1st level spells into at-will spells. They tend to be utility, since E. Blast is the only damage you ever need, and don't throw out as many big spells as wizards. Also, they have a lot of spells that buff themselves or their damage. Sorcerer and Wizard are a mess. Sorcerer needs a complete redesign. So what should the focus of a Psion be? Blasting? Support? Control? Healing? How do you differentiate a Psion as a unique role.That is the opposite question I'm trying to ask. I'm not against making a Psion class. I'm fine with it. But, if you don't want Psion's to just be "wizard spell list minus these spells" then what should they be capable of doing? What role will they fill that is different enough that they aren't just a reskin of an Enchanter with the correct spells picked out. After all, Wizard's don't have many abilities past their spells, and the Enchanter abilities actually do look like things a Psion would reasonably be able to do.It isn't my job to put any effort into it. I find a psion in 3pp content that seems good to me, I was content with the Mystic. But you want WoTC to publish something different. You want something, so what is it you want? What rol does it fill?</blockquote>
