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:
“The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men. Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
