Do you have evidence to never?

I'm of the opinion that they already introduced Psionics with the Monk and its Ki system. Adding Ki points to Sorcerer, Wizard or Barbarian would fit well in the existing system while also appeasing pretty much everyone. Subclasses are only as relevant as long as a player is using them, and who can define a Barbarian using Ki points more than the player?[/QUOTE]

So take a sorcerer and have it use sorcerer points and call it a psion? that's a very unimaginative and poorly contrived way to make a psion.

I think you have little faith in the abilities of WOTC. With tweaks to some of the powers and abilities, the v3 mystic can work well. Thematically, its a skill monkey. It can do anything others can but it lacks in high end raw power (current state). It's a completely new class (which will require everything, including rules on spells vs powers, magic items, monsters, etc). So, this won't fit in half a page like adding a subclass into Xanders guide. This would blow up a game setting like spelljammer or dark sun, but probably fits in one of those two bests.
