So there are a few things that need for psionic characters. They need to be as good as regular classes. Looking through some old books, there are two  classes that seem to be the most popular. Putting this here because Dark Sun just isnt quite whole with out psionic rules   So lets look at the first, the Psion. This guy is your mind wizard/sorcerer. If by either strict years of dedication and learning, or an innate power; by pushing your will upon the world, you create physical effects. But here comes the problem now, a powers list. Should we just give them most of the Wizard List, plus a few unqiue ones to make them feel like a Psion, but how much should we make them truely different? Should they have a regular spells per level table like druids, wizards, bards and sorcerers? Thoughts and ideas? Do you want a completely new spell list? or is it okay to use spells that fit thematically? How bout damage dealing? Should they be able to blast as well as the wizard?   The second is the Phsyic Warrior/Knight. Armored, but usually in heavy. He often has a partial list from the Psion, taking the abilites that will buff him in combat.  My first jump is the paladin.  A Physical warrior with supernatural talents that make his martial skills even more deadly. So what kind of skills should a psyhcic "paladin" have?    Are there any other psyhcic classes that you think should be brought up into 5th edition? Should some of them be subclasses of the two i have already described?
