The first of the Player's Handbook 3 debut content is here, with the release of our second psionic class! Build and play a psion now. One of the psion's complete builds -- all 30 levels -- is now available in the D&D Character Builder and D&D Compendium if you're a D&D Insider subscriber. In this article, take a look at the psion's class features and get insight and commentary on the design of the new class straight from the staff of RPG R&D. Also, the enclosed list of the psion's powers is linked directly to the D&D Compendium for quick reference at the table.

You know the mental pathways that lead to amazing edifices of altered reality. You could be a brash human youth flush with your mental ability's first flowering, a tattooed cenobite enrolled in a secret psionic academy, a fey enchanter using ancient techniques to beguile your foes, or perhaps a specially trained inquisitor who has learned one secret too many.
