"It's too much of a hassle!" Hmmm, funny enough, material components as well as somatic and verbal are cited as the "big balancing factor" for why psionics have less flexibility in choices. Funny enough, like most GMs in this thread, I haven't seen anyone who keeps track of this stuff. If...

Casting at will vs. fireball? I agre with you on that one, not much difference for me. On the psi points? Hmmm. Well, getting to use a feat just because I still have psi point, but I don't spend them doesn't do much for me either, on the other hand .... I get to save up points in "batteries"...

Dude, if you are going to go through all this work, I can't stress enough that it would be easier to go with a d20 supers game and just do some coversions. Heck, MnM even had a sidebar for converting the game back into Hit Points, so that you can still use your weapons stats out of your other...

The Weapon Power already has the device flaw. "By it's nature, this power has the Device flaw, which has been factored into its cost." In addition to that, no power can be reduced to less than 1 PP/Level (Weapon already costs 1 pp/level.) You can have disparate costs between a power and its...

I agree. The game where my players were most awed by magic was Pendragon, which had no spellcasting classes and magic was in the GM's bailywick alone. Heck, I have seen how this happens to "villian" races all the time in several rpgs. The Drow used to be scary, now they are cool! Hmmm. And...

Great, lets dump DND levels and use tea leaves then. :) What some people are saying is that the rules are not conducive to the atmosphere. Here are a few examples: Ley Lines, Heroes of High Favor, Elf book, 3rd Party support: Now this is exactly what some posters are talking about. The book...

IS? How about always has drained player innovation. On the other hand the dullness of DnD magic had probably been one of the biggest motivations of innovation for the rpg industry as budding game designers have said "I can do something mroe exciting than that!" But most GM don't want...

Great Bodies and great minds. I personaly like both psionic girls.

My advice is to go with a d20 game system that handles multi genre stuff, such as MnM, SAS, or Dragonstar. Each game has it's strengths and weaknesses. Though I do know a guy who is currently running a DnD/d20 Traveller crossover. From my impessions and what I have read: MnM and SAS, I have...

Part of fantasy is counting all that Gold you got. Yipee, you are rich and forget buying a BMW, you can buy a magic sword instead. Some like that. Personaly, after being bored to tears as my party spent HOURS on juggling their manifest, riches and ramming weapons on thier spelljammer, I just...

What !! No!! This was the true beauty of the SRD!! I could print what I wanted and then stick it in my own 3 ring binder!!! Why if I had known that 3 years down the line they would do this. I would have never wasted all that ink from my printer!!! Oh my god, that's like $50 of ink in 3 years...

I wouldn't get all riled about snake men, they are pretty common in fantasy. The other stuff ... hmmm.

Yeah, the more I watch LOTR, I keep thinking, he really needs a PICKax, not battle ax. I was blessed with a GM who let my Dwarven Ranger "gansta shot" his long bow. Realistic, no. But hey it's all in fun. Especaily that character. His idea of being a "Ranger" was much more practical compared to...

There is also the "Battle Harness of the Manticore" and the "Emerald Scale Tail Bracer," both for Lizardmen to wear on their tails -- from Paradigm Concepts' Forged in Magic book. Use your imagination.

And how many examples of Good aligned necromancers are out there? :) I always took the Jedi and Sith to be the two biggest "political" parties of the Force. And as such bipartisian systems go, they take their philisiophies to the extreme and claim that anyone who isn't following the party line...

okaaay. How about "alternate rules system for magic" :rolleyes: I am not getting into a whole "genre" thing, but game wise, a lot of mechanics can get a name change for flavor and everything is okay. I got a similar problem right now. I am running a Farscape game (with a psionic flavored...

I agree and then I remembered a few things. Wotc said the main problem with what TSR did was to set up so many settings and then try support them all. This is why CoC and WoT have only a couple of books. I guess SW is different enough and is a seperate audience enough that they don't see it that...

Good news all around! If it is true. I would still perfer a skill based system. But I could handle the current system if it was boosted in healing and canned the psi combat system They already did that in d20 Modern and everyone was so upset.

Man, you have tall order if you want to make all of those game mesh. Some quick suggestions. Have a "power" class with a fixed BAB, Saves and Defence. Give them a set number of PP per level to make and invest in their MnM powers. Borrow all the feats from FK and Pulp and then use the classes...

Then you forgot the most interesting question, Hardhead. The question was, what sort of rules system would you perfer to use to play psionics with? They mentioned level based, skill based, feat based or something completely different. The obvious guess for the poll would be either a.) this...
