In practice, it is the same.It's not just WOTC, it's a section of the community.
WOTC just happens to hire from this section as it was one of the 2 dominant ones 20 years ago.

I don't want WOTC to design around me.Do you represent at least 70% of the gaming public? If not, WotC has no reason to spend design effort on what you want, per their business plan.
But that's just every rage. There's nothing more complicated to frenzy other than the consequences of failing to continue rage, which is one of the easiest things to continue in a combat. I have yet to see a barb have a problem continuing a rage when necessary.
The 3e psion was developed and released relatively early in 3e's run, actually.Maybe. But for the change to actually happen, truly required a consensus across the D&D community. The frustration with vancian casting became a consensus toward the end of 3e. The 3e Psion (points) and 3e Warlock (invocations) were born out of that consensus. Then they were working on 4e, which mainly began to understand how a game engine works, but also standardized Atwills and Encounters.
Well, to be fair, the 3e Psion does have noticeable differences with the 3.5 Expanded Psionics Handbook Psion. They might look the same, but six subclasses of the same class with a different casting stat was a bit eye-brow raising.The 3e psion was developed and released relatively early in 3e's run, actually.
I guess that depends if you classify having to injure yourself as a problem.
Huh. I do but I didnt realize it.Do we talk about Paladin as a Cavalier subclass? A subclass of a subclass? Or pretend that didn't happen?
And that's why people play Bear Barbarians instead of the lame Beserker.That's because people usually don't point out when they becoming ineligible to continue raging. I'm not making things more complicated than they are, I'm stating them exactly as complicated as they are. A frenzy still has to follow all the rules of rage. But now, not only do you have to remember those pesky requirements, but if you don't keep it going, you get hit with the exhaustion hammer.
Then you're going to have to get at least 70% of WotC's consumer base to agree, vociferously and publicly, with you. Because that's the only way WotC makes those kinds of changes.I don't want WOTC to design around me.
I want WOTC to not design around the desires of 20% of the community and have that decision hold the game and community hostage for 2 decades.
I preferred 3.0's psion, personally.Well, to be fair, the 3e Psion does have noticeable differences with the 3.5 Expanded Psionics Handbook Psion. They might look the same, but six subclasses of the same class with a different casting stat was a bit eye-brow raising.
Heck, I had DM's giving me the hairy eyeball for playing an Illumian ("What do you mean, you use your Strength to determine your spells?")!
