[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9327155, member: 7035894"] I personally don't like them being in the core books. I never have. I find them antithetical to my taste in fantasy. [I]Strongly[/I] so. So while I like that they are there for those who want them, I would greatly prefer that they were in supplementary books. Putting them in the core makes them harder to ignore and means I have to make a decision about whether to exclude them from character creation, for example. I think psionics-based classes/sub-classes are much like the artificer, in that some folks love them but others just don't see them as compatible with traditional fantasy settings. I happen to really like artificers, but keeping them in supplementary material means that those who don't prefer them can ignore them pretty easily. Edit: I also think that this decision with the psionic-themed sub-classes in the 2024 PHB seems like a "neither fish nor fowl" kind of compromise. From what I've seen, most folks who want psionics in D&D want a proper class, like the Psion. This tosses them a bone, but doesn't go nearly as far as that.
