01-20-08, 02:23 PM D&D Miniatures has been updated for 4e and is now available. You can download it here (http://forums.gleemax.com/leaving.php?destination=http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/DDM). It isnt identical to D&D 4e, but the changes suggest things to come.

The listed damage types include Psychic damage:

Acid
Cold
Fire
Force (but not mentioned in Miniatures)
Lightning (~ Electrical)
Necrotic (~ Negative Energy)
Psychic (~ Mindblast)
Radiant (~ Positive Energy, but not mentioned in Miniatures)
Thunder (~ Sonic)
Wound

So, officially confirmed: there will be a Psi power source that focuses on telepathic and charming powers, and inflicts Psychic damage.

Theres no word yet on telekinetic powers, but hopefully the Psi power source will own it.

Note, there are movement catagories called Push (away from attacker), Pull (toward attacker), and Slide (move in any direction). Perhaps these catagories will partly define future telekinetic abilities, but they arent necessarily telekinesis. For example, a sonic blast of 'Thunder damage' may also Push the target away.

01-20-08, 08:14 PM Yes! Do not fear! If Miniatures becomes too Serious Business, you can now Mind Crush your opponent('s troops).

MIND CRUSH.

(Really, that's neat. I just wanted to use MIND CRUSH in a vaguely fitting manner)
