[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 3133764, member: 3867"] That's what got me hooked into psionics back in the 2e days. It was a system where you could use powers you knew over and over, provided you had the PSPs. Sorcerers (and mystics from Dragonlance) now fill this niche as well, though I view them a bit differently. Psionic characters tap into the inherent power of the mind. Sorcerers tap into the inherent ability to channel arcane magic. Mystics channel divine power through their inner divine spark. I do not view psionics as magic. To me, that cheapens the unique value of psionics. Some view psionics as mind magic, and that's cool too. In terms of crystals, I think that is one of the best innovations of psionics in 3rd edition. Crystals give psionics a fantasy feel, and help to give identity to the psionic classes. Anyway, that's my take, and it's cool to see that there are a variety of ways to implement psionics. :) [/QUOTE]
