[QUOTE="full_moon_draw, post: 2775491, member: 8878"] [b]That little Psionic problem[/b] I think that's probably a good idea! Whilst I feel that my conversion into psi-like abilities works, I'm concerned that it fails to completely mirror the creatures 2nd edition capability. The old system gave the creature a pool of power points which it could draw on - thus giving it far more flexibility with it's use of psionic powers. This mechanisim would appear to have been dropped under D&D 3.x! If you REALY want to mirror the original flexibility under D&D 3.x there's (as far as I can see) two ways of doing it. Firstly, give the creature levels in a psionic class (probably not such a wonderful idea as this would do horrible things to the CR). Secondly, somehow explore the concept of "[COLOR=DarkOrange]wild[/COLOR]" psionics (as used to exist under "[COLOR=DarkOrange]Dark Sun rules[/COLOR]" - but that's stepping outside the core rules!) Anyway - If I can help, please let me know!!! :D Cheers - FMD [/QUOTE]
