[QUOTE="Xeviat, post: 7157820, member: 57494"] I've already blended Ki and Psionics in my setting anyway, so the "otherism" isn't really there beyond how fighters and bladesingers are different. But, i also like the notion that all PC classed characters in a world are "magical", so "everyone has ki" fits my asthetic too. For some people, their inner energy simply passively makes them stronger or tougher or gives them a wellspring of endurance they can tap into. Other people get far more mystical with it. Others eschew their inner power and draw upon magic. I do think a more balanced game could be attained if everyone was using some kind of "spell point" mechanic behind the scenes. Some class abilities would simply "lock up" an amount of "spell points" in passive abilities (like extra attack), while others (like spells) are active spend "spell points" abilities. [/QUOTE]
