[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2967868, member: 22622"] Wow, I'd actually go the opposite route with it. Perhaps a world where magic is outlawed and seen as barbaric and universe destroying. I wouldn't forbid magic, but I'd have additional rules on it to make it a bit more chaotic. I'd include half the phb races, none of the "half" races. Elves would have been killed centuries ago as the war between magic and psionis came to a close.l I'd include the more modern looking Psionic races such as the Elan and Xeph. I imagine the world as a very victorian type of world from the "equilliberium" movie. There would be floating cities held up with nothing but thought slaves, wood and lumb would be difficult because trees and plants have learned to replant themselves (among other defenses) to protect themselves from prediators. Most, but not all creatures should have a psionic bent to them in some fashion. Crystal dragons instead of the usual dragons. However, if there are monsters or creatures you want to use, nothings stopping you from just tweaking the flavor of their description as psionic magic instead of typical magic. Teleportation would be the main mode of transportation. No horses. There would probably be destination points in cities where you have to teleport into if you're teleporting. Some type of dampener to prevent teleportations at any of these locations. Women may wear fancy hats, a way to prevent mind control. However it could be outlawed to "hide your thoughts". [/QUOTE]
