[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 9327818, member: 87792"] Yes, that's why Sorcerer, Warlock, Rogue, Fighter, and arguably bard and monk are one class... The Psion needs to be a sorcerer or bard not a wizard. No spellbooks to be seen. Which completely neuters the Mystic unless you use an Invocation-style At Will system And where are the psychic warriors? For that matter the 5e soulknives who aren't just oversized brains but use psionics to support everything. Your way even on paper strikes me as far worse than what we have now. In general doing nothing at all is a better solution than more spells. Every spell makes the game worse by adding fiddly rules. Only if you are moving into shovelware territory.
