No. Just the wording. All change on level, unless it's a subclass spell or similar. Some daily.

Nick is a damage boost for Beserker. Maybe Zealot too (didn't calculate).

Verbage change. But Psion is a caster, same as Bard or Sorcerer.

That's why I added a 1/long rest, you succeed, and it's short rest recharge. Still not claiming it to be the best for Psion. I like those for video games, but it's a bit too much to track. But "can't cast 2 turns in a row" would only require you to know what you used last round. That's could...

So Magic Initiate: Mage Armor

Red for spell casting. Which you DO get to comment on. Liked most of the rest.

Fair. Hmm... To cast a spell, you need to make a DC equal to three times the spell level. Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by the spells level. (Cantrips are level 0). When you finish a Short or Long Rest, the DC resets. That's actually an interesting choice...

Magic Jar. Turn something like a Kraken into a humanoid. Take over it's body.

Just to toss out another, probably worse, idea. To cast a spell, you need to make a DC 5+ twice the spell level. Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a Short or Long Rest, the DC resets.

Nothing stops Psions from having their own timer. I.e. Once you cast a spell you can't cast it again for 1 minute.

Agreed, but it's much worse with points. That helps. But I'd still prefer a step more. I wouldn't want to cast 10 different spells before your could cast the first one against, but some extra anti-spam thing.

Pick 2 mini-spell lists at level 1. Pyrokinetic gets fire spells Telekinetic gets thunder wave Cryokinetic gets ray of frost, and grease-but-ice. Biokinetic gets healing Ect... Or a subclass can give you cross over. Polypsi, When you take a long rest, you can choose any 3 spell from any of...

The issue a point system is that you just pick the best power (+ augment + feat + subclass), spam it, then take a rest. I.e. cast Heightened Synaptics Static repeatedly. I don't mind if Psions have less versatility, but I don't want to be (indirectly or directly) limited to 1 spell. (I don't...

I'm pro monk. Specifically putting half the power into the bonus action. And the other half can be spells. I.e. Level 1: half caster Choose 2 Talents, these determine your spell list, and a few other features at higher level (resist fire for Pyrokinetic) Pyrokinetic (fire bolt, burning...

It doesn't. A 5th level spell is balanced to be a big thing for 9th level characters. And it would generally be too big for a level 5 character. But that's not a hard rule. Well you could do the second one. But I the first would make more sense.

Yes. Nothing stops it. You just don't get the increase.

Most of what you listed applies to "Slots". And I completely agree i don't want yet another full caster. The only shape that "Spell" has is a number associated with it's nominal power. Which is useful for balancing, but not a limit. Umm... why not? Looks nearly identical to a level 18...

Put that on the to do list for 6e. But let's not add more containers to 5e when we already have a semi-universal one. IMO.

"Spell" is just a container. You can put whatever you want into it. It's main use is to balance and limit effects. So I don't see how renaming Fireball into a "Power" would change anything except maybe sounding a bit more universal. But please explain what you see as the difference.

Cool. I like how it's shaping up. I understand, but disagree. I don't want another 40 pages duplicating the same effect. If it looks like a fireball, deals damage like a fireball, and has the area of a fireball, might as well say Fireball. Not to mention multiclassing. But to meet you half...
