[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7969463, member: 23751"] I don't think you need to do that. Since the casting will be detectable, in combat Counterspell and any other way to stop casting should work. What I was suggesting was a way to keep them from being able to use their abilities while in jail and the like. Take away the focus from clerics and the components from wizards and they can be contained. Psions without something like I suggested would not be containable. If we are going to add these limitations above and beyond what other casters have in combat, the powers have to be correspondingly better. Otherwise you are making Psions weaker and that's not good, either. But as has been pointed out, it's not a lack of VSM that makes you immune to Counterspell. It's a lack of detectability. Currently in the game that lack of VSM = Undetectable, but with Psions that would change. [/QUOTE]
