[QUOTE="DrSpunj, post: 1477931, member: 994"] As is mine, and one of the first things I want to do when I get my copy is add a Psionics sheet and see how they work out. As to whether or not I'll allow them this summer...maybe, but probably not. :) I like the "slickness" of Monte's AU system, which already includes Psionic spells. Adding Psionics may become too confusing and/or redundant. I want to look at both closely. It doesn't sound fun to me to play a Mind Witch if there are already a bunch of Psionic classes out there. OTOH, Augmentation sounds like a nifty way to steal spells from the EPH and convert them into AU-like spells with Diminished, Normal and Heightened effects, oftentimes with the Psionic descriptor. And feats from there should be easy enough to rework. The Psychic Warrior sounds kind of like a Mageblade to me (some magic/psionics but also a decent warrior with some combat feats), and the Mind Witch creates a weapon similar to a Soulknife. There's quite a bit of overlap already. I guess the best I can say is "not wholeheartedly, but anything you like in there can likely be incorporated pretty easily." A Defense Bonus already accomplishes some of this, and incorporating a feat similar to WoT's Armor Compatibility stretches that a bit more. Monte already has Shield Specialization in AU and I have no problem with Improved Dodge upping the dodge bonus to +2 and Greater Dodge going to +3. If you want to spend your feats becoming a turtle, I'm fine letting you do it.
