[QUOTE="ezo, post: 9302916, member: 7037866"] I never played enough 3e to even know there was a Psion LOL! I like the invocations of the Warlock. I've gone back and forth on short rest spell slot recovery. Nothing I've see about psionics in 5E that appealed to me. I like the 1E idea where it was rare [I]and random[/I]! It made it feel more special or unique. My experience was completely 180 from yours, probably because we didn't "cheat" to get them. If you review the rules for it, you'll see that odds were [I]if[/I] you were "lucky" enough to roll them you rarely got much. As I said upthread, a doubel-edged sword IME. Because of that, we had players who often didn't even want to try for them, knowing if they got them it would be more a curse than a blessing. The few players I met who had issues with 1E psionics were often because they only experiences PCs with "super powerful psionics", (probably the result of fudging rolls I would guess), and the DM probably didn't understand all the rules so the players got away with more than was actually possible.
