Whether you want to slice down your foes with psychically augmented physical strikes, slice them with invisible force weapons, or cast spells bristling with telekinetic power, there are now options for you in Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition.

Wizards of the Coast just released a new Unearthed Arcana (their monthly research and development workshop where they playtest new ideas) focusing on a long-loved set of abilities: Psionics. The psychically-charged new content includes sub-classes for the fighter and rogue, and a new spell tradition for wizards, along with new feats for characters.

I knew they were going to say that.

    I always thought of it as a tribute to the minmaxers, griefers, and monty haulers who all helped make D&D what it is. Psionics is awesome until you run into something like mindflayers or psionic Dragons, then it's time for spontaneous braining melting while the non-psionic characters go "What's wrong with you?"
