[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9092691, member: 57383"] Dang it! I forgot I'd already put [I]false sensory input[/I] in the 3rd level powers, so we need another one. Hmm, [I]mental barrier[/I], [I]psionic blast[/I],[I]hostile empathic transfer[/I] or one of the [I]energy[/I] attacks (bolt, burst, cone, retort or wall)? The original monster had [I]fear[/I] on its spell list, but I'm having trouble finding an equivalent on the psionics list. After much comparison, the closest I could find is [I]aversion[/I], so I'll pencil in that for the time being. I'm also thinking we should "upgrade" the [I]entangling ectoplasm[/I] to[I]ectoplasmic cocoon[/I] (so it immobilizes like [I]web[/I] rather than simply entangling) and the [I]concealing amorpha[/I] to [I]greater concealing amorpha[/I] (so it grants total concealment like [I]invisibility[/I]). [INDENT]1st—[I]burst[/I], [I]defensive precognition[/I]ᴬ, [I]detect psionics[/I], [I]far hand[/I]ᴬ, [I]force screen[/I]ᴬ, [I]mind thrust[/I]ᴬ, [I]offensive precognition[/I]ᴬ, [I]psionic charm[/I]ᴬ [8 powers; minimum of 5 powers, max of 19];[/INDENT] [INDENT]2nd—[I]animal affinity[/I]ᴬ, [I]aversion[/I]ᴬ, [I]energy ray[/I]ᴬ [3 powers; maximum of 14 powers];[/INDENT] [INDENT]3rd—[I]greater concealing amorpha[/I], [I]dispel psionics[/I]ᴬ, [I]ectoplasmic cocoon[/I]ᴬ, [I]false sensory input[/I] [4 powers; maximum of 10 powers];[/INDENT] [INDENT]4th—[I]psionic dimension door[/I]ᴬ, [I]psionic dominate[/I]ᴬ [2 powers; maximum of 6 powers];[/INDENT] [INDENT]5th—[I]psionic true seeing[/I], [I]psychic crush[/I]ᴬ [2 powers; maximum of 2 powers].[/INDENT] That's 19 powers. Since we've decided to not restrict its psion powers by Discipline I'm thinking we should acknowledge that in the text. Like so: [INDENT][B]Psionic Powers:[/B] A psionic slaiyith manifests powers as a psion of 9th level but is able to choose powers from any discipline as well as psychic warrior powers. The save DCs are Intelligence-based.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT][I]Typical Psionic Powers Known[/I] (power points 90; save DC 14 + power level)[/INDENT] [INDENT]1st—[I]burst[/I], [I]defensive precognition[/I]ᴬ, [I]detect psionics[/I], [I]far hand[/I]ᴬ, [I]force screen[/I]ᴬ, [I]mind thrust[/I]ᴬ, [I]offensive precognition[/I]ᴬ, [I]psionic charm[/I]ᴬ;[/INDENT] [INDENT]2nd—[I]animal affinity[/I]ᴬ, [I]aversion[/I]ᴬ, [I]energy ray[/I]ᴬ;[/INDENT] [INDENT]3rd—[I]greater concealing amorpha[/I], [I]dispel psionics[/I]ᴬ, [I]ectoplasmic cocoon[/I]ᴬ, [I]false sensory input[/I];[/INDENT] [INDENT]4th—[I]psionic dimension door[/I]ᴬ, [I]psionic dominate[/I]ᴬ;[/INDENT] [INDENT]5th—[I]psionic true seeing[/I], [I]psychic crush[/I]ᴬ.[/INDENT] [INDENT]ᴬ power can be Augmented.[/INDENT] Does that look OK to you?
