    Psionics: Psion and 211 powers converted from Pathfinder

    Thanks for the continued feedback! Alienation: fixed typo Amethyst Burst: fixed duration Bane: As you mentioned there is a tradeoff between psionic name and understanding. I could rename it false future after the PF name. Charisma is really the wrong save for Bane. See Saving Throws Fix to see...

    This is one of the largest, and purposefully insulting, strawmen that I've seen in a while. Congrats.

    It's great even at low level. Even at 3rd level if you face a bully of the town (humanoid) you have a 60% chance of disabling it and allowing your allies to blow it up with huge damage. You can do it twice. If your goal is to kill that person I can't think of a more effective option. You could...

    Psionics: Psion and 211 powers converted from Pathfinder

    September 28th changes: Powers: Biofeedback renamed Inertial Barrier and is at 4th level (matches PF for that power). Resistance to b,p,s matches Stoneskin at level 4. Oak Body moved to 5th level as a result of above Danger Sense moved to 2nd level to match find traps, though it is expanded a...

    True, there is that major difference. That slipped my mind. That does make that spell really rather strong, probably the best CC spell at the lower levels. Though I'd have to examine them all to determine that. My question on Hold Person/Hold Monster: I assume the levels were done for nostalgic...

    Please compare hold creature to other hard CC spells. Now remove concentration and allow multiple creatures to be hit and compare again. Both options are way out of line for their expected level. For example Blindness/Deafness effectively causes the target to have disadvantage on attacks and...

    I purposefully left out Investiture of Stone as it's a 6th level spell that duplicates Stoneskin and adds some other minor enhancements. I agree that Stoneskin should not have a component cost.

    Find traps was more viable in PF. 2nd level to get bonuses to find traps for up to level/minutes. I'd consider revamping it to be advantage on perception checks to spot traps, advantage on investigation to figure out how to disable them, and advantage on Dexterity saving throws against them for...

    I admire the grammar Nazism and will accept my shame. :(

    Psionics: Psion and 211 powers converted from Pathfinder

    I'm not 100% sure what direction I'll go, but after looking over the Soulknife and the Psychic Warrior they are nearly the exact same class if you use the Gifted Blade archetype for Soulknife. Soulknife has a mind blade or mind bolts to form weapons, Psychic warrior has Claws of the Beast and...

    Agreed on the conjure smaller creatures. I did some math a while ago that used the XP system to calculate how many and 6 of the lowest CR is good according to XP, but still a bit OP imo. Hold person is definitely too low level. I merge it with hold monster, personally. In PF hold person was 3rd...

    A 2nd level spell to give immunity to b/p/s damage? Wow, I think that's my queue to leave..

    I outlined what it can do above, which is far more than put up walls. Walls is a pretty good usage, though. Resistance is one of the best ways of increasing durability. AC will prevent an attack 5 or 10% of the time equating to 10 or 20% more durability, but resistance is 50%+ more durability...

    To quote treantmonk: "Take 1d4+1 turns in a row, because taking 1 round at a time is for big stupid fighters. This period of time involves some restrictions, but self buffing makes a lot of sense during a time stop, as does creating walls or barriers, or raising illusions. I hear a lot about...

    Stoneskin gave DR 10/adamantine in Pathfinder. DR 10 is equivalent to resistance in 5e. If stoneskin gave resistance to non adamantine weapons would that scratch your itch? Wut... Damage based spells either determine their damage from their level or their level from their desired damage...

    Spells that grant resistance: Absorb Elements (1st): Reaction for resistance to an energy type for 1 round. Blade Ward (Cantrip): 1 action for resistance against bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from weapons for 1 round. Awful cantrip Primordial Ward (6th): 1 action to gain resistance...

    Psionics: Psion and 211 powers converted from Pathfinder

    Changes 26th of September: Powers: Astral Construct is available to all Psions. Reduced the amount of enhancements by 1, still need to reduce the the challenge just slightly. Not sure on the number of enhancements. I now do 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4. Metamorphosis is available to all Psions...

    Psionics: Psion and 211 powers converted from Pathfinder

    Time stop's duration is "Instantaneous". It lets you take a few extra turns immediately. It does not require the caster to count 3 rounds during the normal initiative. I think attaching timeless body to intellect fortress is the right way to go anyways - it's nearly the same power, but far less...

    Weird and PK just need a slight damage boost and to have the damage go off on the first save as well. Timestop is rated blue by treantmonk. It doesn't need any buffs.

    Psionics: Psion and 211 powers converted from Pathfinder

    I'll do it an an augment to intellect fortress then. Great to hear you like the system and class - definitely nit pick away! I've spent quite a bit of time on this so I would like to make it as good as possible as well! Fixed Power Mastery typo Third eye is the same wording as a Divination...
