[QUOTE="avr, post: 3685985, member: 48941"] I agree - but limiting PP/encounter IME produces a problem also. The character runs out of PP and the player gets bored. I'm looking for a way to force planning, if you will. I'm not stuck on this solution, but I'd like some way of stopping the player burning thru his PP as quickly as possible. I like the basic idea of augmenting BTW, just not the consequence that spending PP as quickly as possible looks like (or is) the best tactic to some players. This I like. Depending on how I solve problem 1, I may well steal this. The psionics system has a load of stuff I like, but there are some problems with its use in my campaigns. I think adding the Bo9S in my next campaign for PC use will help balance things, but it got to the point in a previous campaign that the psions player offered to retire his character for balance reasons. Wizards generally self-nerf by preparing a bunch of useful/utility spells & we haven't really used Sorcerers. Psions going nova is a problem for my group & I'd welcome others solutions if they have found this a problem also. [/QUOTE]
