[QUOTE="Watus, post: 2937998, member: 14589"] PSI: I've been thinking about this for a couple of days, and ultimately I don't think I'm going to try to shoehorn d20 Modern's psionics into a Firefly game. The powers available just don't [i]feel[/i] like Firefly, and that's a problem. Since I've already stolen so much from Scott Mertz and can't find anything better anywhere else, I'm just going to use the system he drew up for d20 Firefly. It's expensive and difficult, but ultimately pretty powerful - and that feels about right. The system requires a character to select a feat, which provides access to the Psi Talent Tree which has been added to the Charismatic Hero. The Talent allows you to begin taking ranks in a skill, and it's the skill that actually drives the mechanic. Furthermore each use requires the application of an Action Point and then there's the chance of failure. So it's expensive, but the powers this system makes available to the character are many and relatively powerful. I've added a Psi section to the house rules post, so you can go back and check it out. If anyone decides to go down this road, be advised that I'll allow only one psychic PC. [/QUOTE]
