The new Dragon magazine, on the whole, recommended very minor
bandaid changes to the AD&D concept of psionics.  Overall,
AD&D psionics is terrible.  It is laborious to handle, and there is
no good continuum of psionic monsters to handle.  (Just very weak
ones and very strong ones.)  The new PSIONICIST class makes a laborious
process yet more complicated, though more interesting.  How about a
complete revamping of this peculiar aspect of the game, and a new approach
that doesn't slow things down (and create ambiguous rules) so much?
