    That's also my thought on most of those old metaplot run TSR settings.

    Or any metaplot-run fantasy setting.

    I'mma updating the OP with PHB 3 information.

    I'll keep my personal bias out I promise! I'll update the classes part when I have had time to fully read them later.

    "The [STRIKE]PHB3[/STRIKE] Monk and Runepriest Handbook was released in March 2010. It also contained some sort of bullshit psionic crap. Ignore that."

    That sound about right?

    Well, if I was to write how I felt about it in the OP that would be about right yes.

    :P

    "This book also lets you take a feat that enables flanking enemies from a square away with reach weapons."

    Also, Battleminds *are* cool, their class name is just very stupid.

    Battleminds really should have been zerths.
    With karach blades.

    edit: Although I guess zerths were a githzerai-only kind of thing.

    Battleminds aren't terribly broken though, like on the continuum of things they aren't really that bad. Psions would be one extreme, Battleminds about the middle and I would think the ardent may be slightly underpowered if anything. Really I think it was an experiment (the PP system) that hasn't worked well at all.

    If any edition were going to do it right it would've been this one. Shame shame.

    The other main flaw with psionics is that their at-wills don't scale to 2[W] at epic. This doesn't help in making them more attractive options than potentially more spammable and lower PP earlier powers.

    Also, we have a new thread. There may be a present for all you bane fans in there as well :winky:

    You forgot to update the PHB3 races...

    Unless you plan to update it once PHB 3 comes out?
