[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 9328226, member: 907"] How many people [B]want[/B] psions as reskinned diviners? I mean, I see three main groups when it comes to opinions about psionics: [LIST=1] [*]People who actively dislike psionics. They'd rather not have them in the game at all. [*]People who don't care much either way. They don't mind the concept but would prefer it if it doesn't get too much space. For them, reskinned diviners is "fine" because it gives the psi fan something to shut them up without taking too much in the way of resources. [*]People who like psionics, preferably (flavor-wise) something close to the way they were in 2e and 3e: at least one and ideally more actual psi-based classes, breadth on par with arcane or divine magic, psionics takes up a significant part of the game world. [/LIST] I really don't see any psi-fans for whom reskinned diviners (or bards for that matter) are the preferred method of doing psionics. At best, it's "fine". I actually don't think they need to do the same things, any more than wizards and clerics need to do the same things. Ideally, wizards and psions would do different things. This would require nerfing quite large parts of the wizard spell list in order to give the psion a niche in which to excel without breaking the game. [/QUOTE]
