GB Feature: Dungeons & Dragons Tactics Interview

We had the opportunity to fire over a set of questions to Atari producer Lawrence Liberty about Kuju Entertainment’s ambitious handheld RPG, Dungeons & Dragons Tactics.

GB: Along with all of the core Dungeons & Dragons classes, you’re also implementing two psionic characters – the Psion and the Psychic Warrior. What are these two new character classes capable of? What advantages and disadvantages do they have when compared to the core classes?

Lawrence: Psionic powers are somewhat different to magic, in that the psionic character can augment their powers and therefore choose how powerful the effect will be. The Psion is very much the psionic equivalent of the Wizard or Sorcerer, in that they are focused primarily on their powers rather than physical combat. The Psychic Warrior is an all-around Fighter-like class with powers.
