Editing Psion (section)

==[[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition|Fourth Edition]]==
The 4e Psion was the Psionic Controller class, making it analoguous to the [[Wizard]] or [[Invoker]]. By the time 4e was cancelled, it could be divided into three subclasses; one focusing on telepathy to control peoples' minds, the second focusing on telekinesis to fling people around the battlefield like toys, and the third on creating psionic constructs to do the dirty work for them.

In contrast to the rest of the [[AEDU System]], Psions (as well as [[Ardent]]s and [[Battlemind]]s) lacked any class-native Encounter attack powers. Instead, they gained a third At-Will power as they leveled up (with later levels giving more At-Wills to trade off with like how a normal class would trade off Encounter attacks) and had a smaller pool of power points to augment their at-wills. The alarm of the small pool of points was offset by the fact that they refill every short rest, which made their augmented at-wills effectively encounters.
