And a modified Eldritch Blast could act a lot like a psionic blast. Its not perfect, but its a good holding spot until a real psion class (or mass groupings of psionic subclasses) come out.

This is how Illithids roll. It's secret and it's sneaky and before you know it, you're psionified.
#8 pukunui Jul 16, 2014 20:18:54	All that the devs have said about psionics is that they want to get it right. Sometime next year is the earliest we'll see any official 5e psionics rules. In the meantime, an easy substitute might be to take a wizard and let them cast spells without any components (so it's all the power of the mind).
