[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9674270, member: 6704184"] I wonder, if strain or HP as a resource aren’t options, would you be down for using the Monk as a model? Specifically the 2024 Monk. So, you can [LIST] [*] send a telepathic message and receive a reply as a bonus action for free, or spend focus to make a link or read surface thoughts/emotions. [*]Move light objects around as a bonus action free, and spend Focus to move bigger stuff or multiple objects at once [*]Make attacks with objects or psionic force at-will, and extend range and increase damage by spending focus. [*]Ideally some sort of energy manipulation, not sure what the best at-will use would be. Maybe changing damage types or disrupting caster concentration/spellcasting. I’d love for psionics to have more ability to disrupt magic than the other way around, but Magic has more of the out there effects than psionics. [/LIST] Then you’d have Talents to choose from that expand this, allowing you to do things like create kinetic fields, add psychic or force damage to weapon attacks of allies, and the less common psychic stuff like fire starting, divination, spirit medium work, etc, and subclasses to specialize and create strong archetypes.
