[QUOTE="jedrious, post: 4102556, member: 53663"] ok, I don't particularly want to rehash my points from the old thread (especially since the entire discussion spawned a two-page arguement between myself and dante) but let me adress you point by point. One of the deeprooted themes among portfolios is an opposition to each other, having magic/psionics opacity is a perfect method for showcasing this I actually worded it so that powers that are augmented/metapsioniced can bypass this, since powers that are augmented/metapsioniced do actually utilize and possess more power. I conceed this point (I did mention before that I am not an english major) honestly much of that section I merely pasted from the science portfolio This was done in anticipation of the Old One ability of Magic Pariah, one of the concerns with the science portfolio was that an Old One lost all of their magical abilities Conceed (not English Major, CNEM in future reference) I have two reasons for choosing Divert Teleport over Ultrablast for a couple of reasons, for one I wanted to showcase some of the more unique powers that Psionics possess, and my second reason for not using Ultrablast is that it would be the third power in a row that's specifically designed to deal damage I have no issue with these suggestions No issue with this either Not worried about naming conventions, though I personally prefer Bretheren to Improved Summoning I have a severe problem with this, Psionics are not all about [Mind-Affecting] in any true incarnation, we have several practiced forms of Psychic abilities even in our world: Telepathy, Mind over Matter, Remote Viewing, Telekinesis, Astral Projection, Energy Manipulation, and Aurasight. (My minor is Paranormal Science so I have a bit of insight into this that others may not) [/quote=Alzrius] I also recommend adding, as a note somewhere on this page, that an immortal who takes this portfolio gains the Psionic subtype, and has their spell-like abilities become psi-like abilities, and their spell resistance becomes power resistance.[/quote] This could easily be the Domain power (although it's a bit wordy for a domain power) although consider this: The Domain power as written converts the spell-likes to Psi-likes; anyone possessing Psi-like abilities automatically gains the (Psionic) subtype, and whether you use full transparency as you suggest or my suggested partial transparency, then both SR and PR are identical and therefore the change in verbage might just be a waste looks good to me I'm not part of the group that got 2.95 e-mailed to me so not sure how these tables look although I immagine the benefit line for my version of Power Immunity would read "Only psionic powers of sufficient strength can affect you."
