Warlocks were introduced in 3.5? Must have missed that, but I got disinterested about that edition pretty quick. I burned out on 3e back in the day and got completely turned off when 4e came around. That's when I shifted to older editions. > > As much as I love psionics, I'd prefer it also in another optional book > as they're loading too much into the PHB already. I do like psionics, and I am using the Old School Psionics supplement for my homebrew rules (after trying to adapt the 3.5 psion to b/x at one point). I think they might fit into the world at large if you flavor them right. I think about something like "mystics" (which is a word that also was used for monks in DnD which makes this awkward), which leans into traditions of various mystics from all over the world. -- microblog: https://dice.camp/@kyonshi macroblog: https://gmkeros.wordpress.com pictures: https://portfolio.pixelfed.de/kyonshi
