[QUOTE="wyrdone, post: 6450658, member: 89165"] Thank you. The link in the first reply gave me some info to work from, and thank you for posting said text TarionzCousin. Working from the numbers given, and the Wizard's spell slot progression, I've determined the following info: Each spell slot is worth a certian number of points. WotC only gave us point values for levels 1, 2, 3, 10, and 20. Playing around with those numbers I came up with the following values: 1st level slot = 2 points 2nd level slot = 3 points 3rd level slot = 5 points 4th level slot = 6 points 5th level slot = 7 points Going off of that the number of spell points per level given adds up to match what WotC provided at level 1, 2, 3, and 10. So for the first 10 character levels at least it looks like you get the following number of spell points: 1st level = 4 points (1st level spells) 2nd level = 6 points 3rd level = 14 points (2nd level spells) 4th level = 17 points 5th level = 27 points (3rd level spells) 6th level = 32 points 7th level = 38 points (4th level spells) 8th level = 44 points 9th level = 57 points (5th level spells) 10th level = 64 points And then, as listed in the WotC text above, the cost to cast spell are as follows: 1st level spell = 2 points 2nd level spell = 3 points 3rd level spell = 5 points 4th level spell = 6 points 5th level spell = 7 points That's what I've got so far. I'm sure some people would pare down the available spell list to make it more Psionic focused, but I've found in previous editions that most psionic powers have a magic spell equivalent, so I'm not worried about that part just yet. I don't know how many spells known would be appropriate at each level, maybe the same number as the sorcerer? I don't have the PHB handy, and the sorcerer doesn't appear in the basic rules PDF.
