Inspiration - Magic and Psionics

[evildmguy]

Greetings!

Okay, I had a sudden love for Psionics. I was thinking about magic and psionics and it suddenly hit.

Psionics are just magic rules with "mana" points. Now, that's not too big of a deal. But, what Psionics does is also allow Psionic duels built into the system! Magic doesn't do that! They don't have rules for that.

Second, there are passive abilities just for having Psi points in the feats. What about Magic feats that do the same, if we used mana points?

The only issue would be, can we find a way to "convert" spells per day into Power Points. Will that work?

I haven't looked closely enough at the game mechanics to see how easy or hard it would be.

Just some thoughts! Sorry if others have had these already. I am slow. (To post, not to think. I hope!)

Thanks!

Well, in the back of If Thoughts Could Kill by Monte Cooke, Monte basically converted all PHB magic spells to Psion powers. Get that and let the psi-mages choose their spells from their while using the Psion character class.

One more edit... it's by Bruce Cordell who wrote the PsiHB.

The Magic of Faerun has rules for mageduel. There is no reason these rules can't be used on other worlds.

MoF mageduels are fights without consequences. In Psicombats each combatant is trying to screw the other up.
