I rarely post here (it's not really any fun when you don't roleplay anymore), but Eric dragged me back from Nutkinland for another hurrah. So. Um... Hurrah!

I fondly remember the early days of ENWorld; the speculation about 3e, the huge debates over the merits of the d20 system vs. 2e, the fisticuffs over the lack or inclusion of psionics, rogue vs thief, rogue vs rouge. Ahh, those were the days. Not that things appear to have changed much. :D...

I'm sure you believe it, but not everyone agrees on what is a "good" rule. Which is why I said the rules are meaningless to me; I'm picking it up for source material at the least. Any cool rules I like I'll use. Anything I don't goes out the window. :)

They could completely screw up the rules and I'd still buy this one. :)

I suggest you copy the Psionic Handbook's Scribe Tattoo feat, translate powers into spells (it's 1-to-1), and go from there. Here's the wording of the feat (from SRD): Here are the rules for their use: They would translate easily into any campaign as spells rather than powers. If you want...

I have a very well balanced way to do this: A wizard with Still Spell. *poof* no more pesky arcane armor failures!

There it is! I was just searching pages back for this thread so I could bump it to remind myself to tinker with the rules next week, and what happens? It ends up on the front page 'cause some silly alien had to go and do what I was trying to do! :)

I like Drawmack's idea of making it a feat. This would help reduce balance issues. Furthermore, I would suggest that it be part of a feat chain of some sort... perhaps with a prerequisite of Quicken Spell (for the free action counter-spell).

BTW, I hope you don't think I'm being overly-critical. I rather like the idea of separating spell points into two (or even three!) separate pools based on the type of magic being used. This helps solve multi-classing issues. But what about multi-classing between two spell-casters of the same...

Ah, but it does! Psionics powers *are* weaker than spells in general per level, but that is because the point-cast system is more flexible. It's a bance-issue tradeoff. However, since you're pretty much unbalancing the spell-casting classes by going to a mana-point system, I don't think it...

I suppose I should have mentioned that Clerical Specialty spells do not count towards the maximum spells known on the spells known table. Clerical Spontaneous healing is, naturally, redundant. Note the differences in the systems: The spell costs have changed. This was carefully playtested in...

How about I boil down the Psion class into a Wizard / Cleric class from the rules on in the SRD. I made some minor changes to reflect the flavor of the Wizard and Cleric classes, as well as for wizard specialization. Also, due to poorly thought out coloration on ENWorld, you might need to hilite...

Heh... understandable. Which is, of course, *why* I suggested 3e Psionics. Because it fits right into the core rules with no ripples. Whatsoever. (IMO) I suggest you pick the book up, or read a friend's copy. Well, there is that. Psionics still has a somewhat scientific feel to it. However...

I tell ya what... after finals next week I'll fiddle with the system you have and let you know what I come up with. :)

I really, *really* like this idea. I even tried to do something similar for psionics before it was announced that there would be a PsiHB way back when, but I eventually gave up. What you have is a great start. Some constructive criticism: The DC to cast a spell as simple as Magic Missile...

Why not use the 3e psionics system replacing with magic spells? Seems to me like it's an easier 'port than trying to fix all that was wrong with the Players Option stuff.

Amazing, Mark. Absolutely amazing. What's more amazing is that you're almost 100% spot-on with the meter. That's rare in a song spoof. :cool:

St*r W*rs? What's that?

Ahh, well. :(
