Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 3523739" data-attributes="member: 114">I think if I were to run another D&D campaign (or continue my Eberron campaign) I'd seriously consider doing the following things:* Ditch overchannel and wilders (bad enough with damaging effects and metamagic, it can be spectacularly horrible with astral constructs)* Apply the psionic special effects for cold/fire/sonic/electricity to arcane spells of those types too (so fireball would do 1d6+1 per level, electricity gets +2 on save DC and +2 vs SR, Cold requires Fort save etc)* Change psionic metamagic so that (a) it doesn't require expenditure of focus and (b) the cost is raised to the full equivalent - e.g. +6pp for maximise. (the present rules means that they expend focus and get to maximise stuff two levels earlier than they should, so a 9th level psion could maximise a 3rd level power. If he has overchannel he could even maximise a 4th level power! Losing focus on the first round of combat to get an alpha strike off isn't much of a restriction in my view!). This change would increase the psions flexibility when it comes to metamagicing his powers, but would remove his ability to 'break the ceiling' which affects wizards and sorcerers.</blockquote>
