Personally, I am glad for something else that uses Intelligence. It is one of the most useless stats currently in the game (except for the wizard of course). There are 4 classes that use wisdom (cleric, druid, ranger, and monk). For intelligence you only have the wizard, Fighter (Eldritch Knight) and the rouge (Arcane trickster).

See what I mean.

Anyways, 2 of my group, plus myself, play Mystics, and multi-class mystics. Only myself and 1 other play wizards. The rest play melee classes only. No one wants to play a cleric.

I think i read somewhere that the new book coming out in November might have Psionics. I have no idea if there's any truth to that though.

Have either of you made progress on stabilizing the v2 Mystic? I have likewise desire to mess with this and I am extremely slowly trying to learn my way around the scripting/editor but I am vastly out of my depth. I'd appreciate if you'd be willing to share your efforts with me. Please and thank you!

And since we are discussing psionics, to my personal HL I added Gem dragons (the neutral psionic dragons) to the Dragonborn race.

Code:
thing id="rcDbrnAmet" name="Amethyst" description="{b}Damage Type:{/b} Force\n{b}Beath Weapon:{/b} 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save)" compset="RaceCustom">

Also, the Shardmind race which will be in an upcoming community pack would be at least thematically inclined towards Mystics.

I wholeheartedly agree with you about the wizard in 5th Edition. I never played 4e. But the compounded result of restricting your ability to have multiple buffs up with concentration, drastically reducing your overall number of spells you can cast per day, especially higher level spells, and then linking improved effects to expending the already in short supply higher level slots leaves them feeling exceptionally hamstrung to me.

On the upside it is nice to have unlimited attack cantrips. But generally speaking as you get to higher levels you should be able to unleash punishing salvos of actual spells and not rely on cantrips that don't quite match melee attacks of the more physical classes.

I'm a bit new to the Authoring kit. Where do I put this code in the Dragonborn Race?
Also can someone send me the Mystic class they have compiled for my use?
Directions on incorporating it will be appreciated as well.
Thank You ahead of time for your help.
