[QUOTE="Crowsion, post: 5764416, member: 100259"] A little while ago I was big into the flavor of Psionics but I didn't care much for the mechanic of power points. So I did something very similar to what you guys have already established. I took a base of 14 and added the amount of Power Points it would cost to it. The classes that use this mechanic use the spells known mechanic as well. I then followed the slope to get the DC for level 0 powers. These values are what I arrived with.
