I don't think this is because of the mechanics--or rather not COMPLETELY because of the mechanics. Mechanics for psionics have always been weird, and the 5e style is good for D&amp;D, so maintaining that is good and won't get any gripes from me.</p> <p>But I think that no matter what purely mechanical tweaks the UA team has planned for the Mystic, the general lukewarm reception isn't going to change unless we get something else squared away first. Something a little deeper--something that helps us grasp Psionics in the same way we grasp Magic: with a complete and intuitive system.</p> <p>With Weave-based magic there are schools which somewhat delineate magical effects (conjuration, divination, etc), but that's not exactly what I mean. Not to bash the magical schools (any system will have inconsistencies--mine notwithstanding), but few people really understand what it means to be a wizard by what school of magic they specialize in. An enchantment wizard isn't fundamentally different from an evocation one. But a wizard is different than a bard or a warlock. These &quot;Schools of Psionics&quot; are as much about the state of mind of the manifester and the method for manifestation as they are about the outcome of the manifestation (there are several of my Psionic &quot;schools&quot; that may each manifest effects in the transmutation school of magic for instance, but each according to its own particular rules).</p> @@ -88,9 +90,9 @@ <p><strong>Whitefire Portal</strong>: You burn a temporary hole through the Astral Plane and into another plane of your choice. Once per long rest, centered on a point within 300 ft of you, you summon raw Astral ectoplasm which burns with hellish, white-hot fury. Any creature standing within 20 feet of the whitefire must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 12d10 fire damage or half on a successful save. Inanimate objects in the area also take the damage and flammable objects may catch on fire. A portal then opens to the chosen plane as with a Gate spell and remains open for 1 minute as the planes slowly knit themselves back together. Alternatively, instead of a specific location on a plane of your choice, you may choose to have your portal open into a generally inhospitable location in one of the elemental planes or the planes of positive or negative energy. If you do so, creatures who enter or begin their turns within 20 feet of the portal take 6d10 damage of the appropriate elemental or energy type.</p> <p>I'm actually working on an entire Psionist class for eventual publication on the Dungeon Master's Guild (or as part of my &quot;MagnumOpis-MagicOfTheMultiverse&quot; which covers EVERYTHING magical as I understand it).
