What do you think of psionics?

Whatever they want me to.
Will saves aren't my forte.

what do they make me think of them?

My favorite. Especially thrallherds. But I must only rarely play as one. For reasons.

They said I would find out, once the tadpoles have grown.

Love them as a concept.

Hate their mechanics.

I like it but I've never seen a satisfactory explanation of how it's different from magic.

I always thought Dark Sun did the best job of making them feel different.

Magic is you negotiating, bargaining, tricking, bribing reality to do what you want.

Psionics is literally you browbeating reality into shape.

Its the difference between a drill seargent and a landscape painter, a spellbook and a power-point pool, a classy lady and your mum.
