Divine Powers is out. Full with num-num goodness for clerics and a new at will.

The psion has always had that dark cloud over it. To me, the psion was are harder class to DM for if there was one in a non-psion majority party. It was trying to make sure they got psionic items rather than magic items. Now with 4e where magic item placement is much more player friendly over the random item tables from previous editions, they might be easier to work with. I’m just still confused why they made the monk a psionic power striker. It easily had Martial Controller written all over it.

I’ve heard the same thing about the class in previous editions, but in 4th it is no more complicated than tracking encounter powers. In fact, they should have called them encounter points, instead of power points.
I’m not sure what you mean by going against the spirit of D&D, we have classes that wield arcane power, bring down divine judgment, call forth the primal spirit… what is so far fetched as a jedi with force powers
But seriously, what do you think mind flayers are?

I am very much against this class. When it was introduced in 2nd it made the game unfun to play and over complicated things. While I doubt it will do this to 4th, I feel it goes against the high fantasy sprit of D&D.

With the introduction of the Psion class and the reprinting of the Prism Pentad, could we see a Dark Sun 4th Ed. campaign setting? *crosses fingers*

Very nice! That will play nicely into the Cerulean Adept paragon path.
