[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3691343, member: 13966"] I never said I wanted it to be directly translated to 3E with no changes......just that I liked the old version of psionics better. The attack/defense mode comparison could be simplified y'know, and it wasn't necessarily bad in and of itself, just quirky..... And of course it'd need to be tweaked such that being psionic wasn't just a weakness in psionic combat.... That bit in 3.0 psionics is annoying. I really gotta get back to work sometime on my 3E version of the 2E Psionicist. Main problem with my project was that I broke up sciences and devotions just a bit into 2 tiers each, with Lesser and Greater devotions, Psychic Sciences and Ultra Sciences ([I]yeah, cheesy name I know; another, more minor problem is that I sometimes like silly old-comic-bookery type stuff[/I]). My feats for wild talents were also probably too potent despite the drawback of needing difficult skill checks to make any wild talent powers function. And I think I took my conversion of the Ballistic Attack devotion too far....got too complicated and detailed. I also had made part of the Psionicist's mechanics a bit too complicated. So I didn't get started on many powers before deciding that I had probably over-complicated things that time.
