Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormonu" data-source="post: 9672216" data-attributes="member: 52734">I was against the "psionics is just another form of magic" for a long time, but as I started to put together my own version realized it just made more sense to use existing spells.  Savage Worlds does something similar, with generalizing power and then letting players skin it to fit the idea of their character.I still prefer psi points over psi dice though.  The class I put together for my game makes the psion class a hybrid of warlock and sorcerer - Disciplines that cover powers/spells of 1st - 4th level and Sciences that cover 5th+ power/spells like the Warlock's Mystic Incarnum.   Disciplines are powered by using psi points, using the formula for the Sorcerer uses to get spell slots.  The number of psi points the psion gets is more than the Sorcerer, but is balanced between having fixed slots and being able to "alpha strike" slots.Of couse, also threw in some "psion only" spells/powers to give them some distictiveness, and went with the Expanded Psionics books for subclasses.I've yet to look at the UA, but will probably keep my version for my homebrew.  Maybe there'll be something in the UA I'll pull into my version though.[spoiler][ATTACH=full]406966[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]406967[/ATTACH]So, a 7th level Psion could throw out a max of six 4th level powers per long rest, on par with a Warlock who took 2 short rests on a day.  At 10th level, up to ten 4th level powers could be put out in a day (I used the DMG to figure for the points, but looking at it now, I expect to be tweaking the point cost/points per day downward after some playtesting).[/spoiler]</blockquote>
