[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8305020, member: 6701124"] Those all seem in the ballpark to what I have. The complication that I'm mulling is if I want to have four mental stats - [LIST] [*]Psyche - Knowledge, mental storage capacity [*]Awareness - Perception, Sensitivity, and Insight [*]Charisma - Strength of Personality, Ability to Project ones will (lower case) against others [*]Will - Mental Fortitude and Mental Stamina [/LIST] Wizards and Artificers seem Psyche (at least for number of spells known), but would number of spells they can cast per day be modified by Wisdom? Would sorcerers by your description be Awareness, and by the standard be Charisma? But now I'm down that road of if the number of spells they can cast is based on Will? Or can you picture one that has Awareness for the number of spells known and Charisma for the casting bonus, and will for number cast per day? Or would Charisma cover all of it for one variant? Thanks for the extra things to think about! :) When doing power sources, how out there is it for the power behind the Monks to be related to the Barbarian Rage, and the Grit of the Duelist or Panache of the Swashbuckler in PF? What happens if you do Monk is to Psionicist as Paladin is to Cleric, Ranger is to Druid, and Magus is to Wizard? The bard going after knowledge feels like it should be akin to the Wizard to me. I haven't thought about it as using magic of themselves before. Thanks for the new take. If something equivalent to Ki used in other places around the world but with a different name? The actual name monk is from Greek/Latin/German? Does it change if the martial arts aren't particularly like those of the far east? Are we limiting too much if Barbarians, and Druids and Monks and Bards tie into the real world history? I haven't gotten the connotation that it's evil. [/QUOTE]
