[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8718150, member: 58172"] Honestly, I care about mechanical balance. But am exploring. Thoughts about this ... ? [B]PSIONIC AURA[/B] Your psionic magic is personal, emanating from your mind around you. You ignore antimagic area effects, such as the [I]Antimagic Field[/I] spell. When an antimagic effect targets you personally, such as [I]Dispel Magic[/I] can, each of your magical effects that you are maintaining by means of a Duration, instead gains a DC equal to your spell save DC. This includes your low level effects. Your mind itself is immune to antimagic effects, and can manifest other magic effects afterward, as normal. My own thoughts are: Antimagic areas are rare. It is balanced to ignore them. The few times it ever happens becomes fun for the Psion player to show off. Being targeted by Dispel Magic personally is balanced. For high level magical effects, the DC that the spell grants (10 + slot level) works out about the same as the DC that Psion has (8 + pro + ability). The only meaningful difference is, the low level spells that the Psion is maintaining (including Mage Armor) wont automatically wink out. The antimagic spellcaster can try to dispel them − against the Psion DC − but might not succeed. Then the Psion keeps them up. The flavor seems right. The Psion is the source of the magic. So to target the Psion personally should do something. But if its an area "tear in the weave", the Psion can totally not care about that. [/QUOTE]
