However, it appears they may have abandoned the idea of a full Psion class for the same reason. This is not good. Because there is a lot of interest in a full Psion class. If there was not, they would seen the tumbleweeds and abandoned it long before taking 3-4 full UA attempts at it.
I don't think there is a lot of interest, to be honest. Not just with the recent surveys with the mystic, but Jeremy's comments the other day were telling. How in every past attempt at them in every edition, hardly anyone used those rules or that class. There's enough interest to have them look at the idea, much like the warlord or other classes, but I don't thing there is "
a lot" of interest.
That said, IMO, much like the warlord, I think there is room for it in the game, I've been telling people they don't have to accept the warlord if they don't want it, so it would make me a hypocrite to say that we shouldn't have the psion in the game at all.
Speaking of hypocritical positions, I do find it interesting that the responses to
@jasper are what they are. It seems the same people who argued that we need the warlord in the game because it's important to have it official so they can play it in AL games regardless of what the DM wants are now saying that it's wrong to try to deny a class you don't want official because you can just ignore it.
I wouldn't vote it down because I'm meh. But people are allowed to vote against things they don't like, and for for things they do like. that's how voting works. If you were only to allow votes from those who support it, the survey would be worthless and inaccurate. If everyone had to follow what you're telling jasper, then we'd have damage on a miss in the core game, despite the majority really not liking it, for example. And the core ranger would never have been fixed.
