[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7985764, member: 23751"] Elocater: A Psion based on movement and physical combat. Their ability with movement enabled them to view battles and predict movement, giving some bonuses. Dimension step, which would be a misty step like ability. The ability to make an extra small movement, which could be done as a bonus action. At higher levels they had a dimensional spring attack, which could be done in 5e by allowing the "misty step" like ability to be broken up like movement can be and the attacks spread out that way. And accelerated action, which allowed extra attacks X times per day, broken up once per round. Metamind: It was a more pure Psion. It allowed the Psion to "cast spells" for free a few times a day. As you went up in level, the level of the power went up. If the Psion in 5e has powers as spells, that would be easy. If we are giving powers as class abilities, it would have to be modified somehow. It allowed the creation of a special kind of Psicrystal that could store more power. This prestige class was about achieving more psionic power. Psion Uncarnate: This prestige class was about becoming pure thought, eventually losing the body completely, only being able to manifest a physical body for 1 minute a day at the highest level. It's powers were about slowly gaining the ability go become incorporeal and alter the body with thought, such as assuming any likeness from small to large at higher levels. Pyrokineticist: Psion specializing in fire! Fire! Thrallherd: Taking the ability to charm and dominate to greater levels. They also had the ability to send out a psychic call for thralls, which was akin to the leadership feat and gained you followers, but they didn't show up because of charisma and leadership, but because something in their psyche resonated with the call. Anarchic Initiate: Basically a Psionic "wildmage" type. There were also a number that are better off being subclasses of other classes. [/QUOTE]
