[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7880861, member: 15700"] I think anyone who seriously tries to argue that 1e made a dedicated effort towards psionics in 1e either isn’t familiar with 1e at all, or they are being disingenuous. Not only was it not a class, but it was near impossible to even qualify for them, and it was crammed in the back of the book. I never saw a single legit rolled PC that was played in 1e from 1981 to 2012 (the years AD&D was my preferred edition). It wasn’t until 2e when you saw an actual set of serious rules for psionics that was accessible to players as a legit option. The only time I saw psionics in 1e was with the player who also always had max hp and 18/00 strength. 🤦🏼♂️ I found my earlier post I was referring to, and still stick by it. 4e might have had extra products like card collections, but even if you discount those, it wasn’t until the 20th or so book supplement with the PHB 3. It’s flat out dishonest to say 5e has ignored the psionist not only when you look at other editions that took more released products Before you saw it, but several presentations of psionics so far in 5e including but not limited to a full stand alone class.
