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.

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.
