After my first few years of playing Dungeons and Dragons 5e, I started dreaming of new classes for this system. I knew that the last edition in this department was not hitting, thanks to systems like prestigious class, so I was wondering how to get closer to the topic. Each version of the artist's class scratched this itch initially (and intelligence was more useful), but only temporarily. Enter Psion. Dungeons and Dragons It revealed its first version of this class back in May 2025, and now there is an updated version with all kinds of modifications, most of which increase it than ever.
Psion resembles Dungeons and Dragons“The more artificial class in that they are both very flexible in terms of game style. On the basis of the way the player chooses, their psion could be a gish that controls organic weapons, a crowd check with a telekinetic force, or a bard's support that manipulates cube. You haven't thought that Psion was a good alternative to a magician or a magician, this update is a convincing reason to give her a chance.
If you are not interested in updating the Psion class, give a new UA document at first glance, as it also includes a playyst version of several new spells.
The new Psion Dungeons and Dragons class is just stronger
To begin with, the basic class functions have improved in some significant ways. For example, psions now have 30 feet in telepathy settings rather than 5 feet, which can mean a huge difference for secrecy or social interaction. Even more important, however, is that the class is much more forgiving using psionic energy cubes due to several changes:
-
Several psionic disciplines now spend psionic energy only if the role of D20 is success, maintaining a player's resources if the use of capability does not pay off
-
Psionic renewal now probably renews all the psionic energy cubes of the player after 1 minute of meditation, rather than half of their maximum cubes in a short rest
-
At later levels, the new Psionic Reserves function ensures
These changes make great sense. Psion -class abilites require many psionic energy expenditures between disciplines and sub -class features. Now the players are under less pressure to protect cubes for fear that they will run out. Speaking of it, every subclass in this document also gets your own buffy:

You may notice that the subclars of Warper Teleportation do not appear in the new Psion document, but if you are a fan of this subclass, do not worry! The coast magicians claim that he has already scored high grades in his first Playtest, so whenever Psion is published, Warper dogs with exactly the same features as before.
How is the updated psion compares to other classes of D&D 2024E
Overall, these changes are improving on the largest strengths of Psion: a wide range of paths of assembly, generous secondary source and lots of built -in adaptation. As a result, he is a serious competitor of his closest counterpart, Dungeons and Dragons“The wizard, the only other intelligence full of the center. The wizards offer a lot of adaptation to Spell Book and a massive possible list of magic, but still rely on spell slots to use this adaptation, and most of the levels are lacking in practical class functions.
Wizards in DND They may be an even better comparative point. Metamagic allows Sorcerer to compete with the flexibility and adaptation of the psion, while the witchcraft points act as a secondary source that supports the powerful features of class and subclass. However, the witchcraft points have several proclaiming weaknesses that lack psionic energy cubes. The magicians must sacrifice the spells of slots to regularly regain witch points, unlike completely independent psion cubes. The recovery of psionics is also better than a witch in many situations and renews more resources in a shorter time. The level 20 magician function seems to be stronger overall, but there is still clear rivalry between these classes.
Psion is anything to be
Although Psion is most similar to wizards and wizards, fans of other classes should not overlook Psion. It has many elements that make it an attractive alternative in many contexts. To name several:
-
Psionic disciplines are a clear cousin for calling Eldritch Warlock, offering class adjustments and powerful capabilities that define character, mechanically and in roleplay
-
Bard will be too familiar with the use of puddles cube
-
Playing metamorphic psion offers a darker view of Druid's Shapeshifter Fantasy
Based on this updated version, Psion should be in an interview when you are considering playing any given class Spellcaster DND. It is a solid jack-of-all-trades that does not make a ton of victims in exchange for its flexibility. I know I will consider playing psion as my next DND Character and you should.
