The Psion

“You Activated My Interrupt Power!”

The Psion was designed to be a more complex, reactive
class than the others. Specifically, it deals almost
exclusively in reaction and interrupt powers. By priming
themselves with one of several powers during their turn,
the Psion gains access to these versatile options to be
deployed at any point during the round. Note that these
reactive choices require you to keep a keen eye on the
entire battle and, like the Summoner, this class is designed
for players who enjoy that level of control and won't be
paralyzed by so many choices.
even has enough powers for you to build them in a way
where you never roll a single die if you'd like.
Note: Several of your powers allow allies to use your role
boost in place of or in addition to their own. For Leaders
this means that the ally can gain a single use of Tactics to
be used as a role action. Similarly, if a Psion uses an ally
Leader's role boost, they may gain a use of Tactics to be
used that turn if they have an available role action.

Unlike in several other games, you have unlimited

, so using your various
Psion powers doesn't stop you from using your Action
Trigger or any other such powers you may have.
Additionally, the Psion has a variety of both close and long
range abilities, allowing you to build them for up-close
combat, ranged assaults, or a combination of the two. It
