[QUOTE="Ravellion, post: 5823055, member: 538"] I believe Trailblazer could do Dark Sun well. But Dark Sun needs psionics. Specifically, I am thinking how to deal with the recovery of powerpoints (pp) when resting for 10 minutes. You could do it the same as for spells (pp spent on multi target spells are not recovered after a rest etc.), but because they are pp, the power in question could still easily be cast a few more times that day (maybe even with some casting of "rote" powers in between which are recovered after another rest anyway). Also, doing it this way seems like it would be annoying with bookkeeping, ironically making the pp system more bookkeeping-intensive than the regular system. Therefore, I am also looking at the following options: 1) recover a fixed percentage of spent pp on a rest (half of what you spent, with 75% for 1 Action Point (AP) and 100% of what you spent for 2AP?) 2) recover up to a fixed percentage of your total on a rest (up to, say, half of your total, with 1 AP to raise this to 75% and 2 AP to raise this to 100% of your total pp) 3) Simply let psionics use the regular slot system. I am not dead-set against this, but pp do make psionics feel different, so I do believe this would be a sacrifice. I was wondering whether I could pick your minds and see whether you see any advantages/disadvantages of the options I came up with, or maybe even have some of your own ideas on this. [/QUOTE]
