[QUOTE="slingbld, post: 1305405, member: 13229"] The one time we had a psionic class in our game we too learned the error of the D20 vs straight 10. After the 3rd encounter we invinted the house rule: "Place your bets & Sure thing" This gives all casters (psionic, arcane, divine) the choice to take a "10" on a DC check or go with the random D20. That way in the heat of combat, if you REALY nedd to get that spell to land you can "Place your bet" & roll the D20. Since then, we've used it quite a bit. it's been interesting. I've seen a 5th level wizard do wonders against a band of ogres with the sleep spell when he opts for the D20 & rolls 18. I've also seen the same wizard get a 3 as he burned his one and only fireball spell in a desperate attempt to do max possible damage to an oncomming horde of orcs (18 of em =D). So I say go with either just the "10" or give them a choice on a per use basis. [/QUOTE]
