Do you use the XPH, and to what degree?

[Flyspeck23]

Just curious...
It seems like most people think that the 3.5 psionic rules are much better than in 3.5.
But are you using the psionic rules? And to what degree? IIRC some people even substitute psionics for magic...

Yes, I'll be adding Psionics to my campaign in the near future. I've used the 3E Psionics system once - when my PCs were on their quest to rescue Zuoken.

They did so. He came back, and fixed the Psionics system. You can thank my players for the improvements!

Now, I've got the PCs in a Githyanki Fortress - they've accidentally arrived there after a magical mishap. This should be a good opportunity for them to experience a new method of Psionics.

Cheers!

I voted the second option.

It's not so much that I think the system is bad as I think it's too hard to fit into my world. The XPH is a vast improvement on the PsiH.

 

[Psion]

Psionics has been part of my homebrew campaign setting for a long time.
I'm not running my homebrew right now, but it just so happens that the setting I am running (Second World) is default psionics-friendly.

XPH is a decent upgrade that addresses most of the things I had to house rule the first time around.

I don't substitute psionics for magic. In both my homebrew and Second World, they have distinct roles.

Psionic's already existed in my campaign (although bare). We have a new character coming in next session who has taken levels in Psion from the XPH, so I'll get to test how well they work.

i own the book, but i'm not ever going to use it in my campaign.


Supplement III Eldritch Wizardry is the closest to psionics that will be used in the campaign.

I have the XPH, and while it is much better than the 3.0 version, I'm still not going to use it in my campaign. Psionics don't have a place in my homebrew world, and adding them would only muddle things and make it less distinctive. I might use them in a more generic fantasy campaign sometime in the future if some players REALLY wanted them. I just have a hard time getting over the feeling that psionics don't really feel right in fantasy.

I don't own the XPH. We use 3.0 psionics - well, if anyone ever chooses to play one. (I don't personally care for psionics, and thankfully, neither do my players it seems.)

 

[Davelozzi]

Well, the thread title and the poll question ask different things. Yes, I use psionics in my campaign, and yes I own the XPH, though at the moment we're still using the old book. I like the XPH much better and am hoping to switch over soon but I'm waiting for one of my players (who plays a telepath) to digest it first as it will mean significant changes for his character. In my game, psionics are rare, and we use the psionics are different option. Magic still exists, and is more common in most regions.

Read "to what degree" as "does psionic substitute for magic or not". Thread titles shouldn't be too long...
Sorry.

That's actually answer #2
