Psionic Classes
In 1st edition, there was no specific character class for psionics. In 2nd edition, only one psionic character class was introduced, the psionicist. In 3rd edition this class was renamed to the psion, and various new alternate classes were introduced based on psionics usage. Psionics Handbook was later updated for version 3.5 with the Expanded Psionics Handbook, and new material was added in the Complete Psionic book.
In the fourth edition, psionic power is considered to be a power source on par with martial, divine, arcane, or primal power. The psion was reintroduced as a psionic controller, along with the Ardent, Battlemind, and Monk.

Famous quotes containing the word classes:
“I have no doubt but that the misery of the lower classes will be found to abate whenever the Government assumes a freer aspect and the laws favor a subdivision of Property.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
