I have always thought that Psionics should be different from Magic; both in effect and in gameplay mechanics. I don't want the powers of the mind to be simply another way to cast the same spells. I want a completely different method of "casting", and completely different effects than spells and spell-casting can provide.To this end, I have been working on coverting the mechanics from "the Force" in d20 Star Wars over to D&D. Combined with some of the most interesting bits from both the OGL d20 Modern psionics, I think this provides the absolute best alternate.Two more Psionics gripes:1. The 3.0 Psionics Handbook violated the spirit of the D20 system (i.e. every roll is made up of a d20 + inherent skill + learned skill) by (among other things) having the mind-to-mind combat resolved using a chart... I couldn't believe it. I understand they have taken that offensive bit out of the 3.5 Psionics Handbook... I still won't buy it.2. Eberron does not "include" psionics, nor does any other campaign setting. Do you see any new psionic powers, feats, etc in ECS? I don't recall any. There are new spells, etc. Having to buy a separate book to use psionics does not amount to including them in Eberron.</blockquote>
