[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7978584, member: 6801228"] I brought it up once, as a side note to a larger point. Then everyone started jumping up and down and accusing me of things. Accusing me of wanting a wizard instead of a psion, that I wanted psions to use spell books, that I didn't want psions at all, so I started trying to clarify what I meant. But, here is the original section that this all started from Everything past that was me suddenly having to defend that single point. By the way, notice in the second half of the sentence how I expressed interest in how they might accomplish that? That was equally valid to my point, but no one seems to care about that. I have only brought up so much in the last two days, because people keep trying to accuse me of things I never said. Again, what do you mean by "every time we talk about a psion class"? I've brought it up a few times, but always in the same vein. That there is a concept which covers a lot of the same theoritical ground. I wanted to discuss limits, because without those you can decide to attack my choices from any angle, but since you seem to be on the warpath against me for some reason when I have only been trying to get the conversation past the stage of bickering and into discussing design, then fine, I will appease you. I'll go V. Human, grab Wild Talent, Tower of Iron Will, Telepathic, Warcaster, Magic Initiate, and leave a floating ASI Enchanter gets the ability to enthrall someone within 5ft, putting them in a daze, the ability to use their reaction to force an attack against another target instead of themselves, The ability to split enchantment spells, and the ability to Alter memories when using Enchantment spells.
