[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 7673453, member: 5100"] Indeed. I have the genesis of two viable systems in my head. One of them is, essentially, a replacement for Sorcerer that would pretty much just be "internally powered by [select from list]", with the option for the various archetypes to swap out the VSM components for something else (like 3E did, but expanded as appropriate to the other archetypes). I have no idea what I'd do for psychic warrior, etc., but it might be as simple as "use multiclassing rules" or an Eldritch Knight knock-off archetype. The other is a new subsystem that works by providing base devotions (a.k.a. spells) that can be augmented with talents, which are gained as the character advances. Most devotions would also have a "Maintain" tag in their description that would give the on-going effect if the psion maintains concentration. This would call for a new base Psion class (to cover a couple 3E Psion sub-classes, Wilder, and Ardent) as well as a Fighter archetype for Psychic Warrior (that would nick the soul knife's stuff) and a Lurk archetype for Rogue. I like both ideas, and would welcome either in my game. But, either would alienate half(ish) the fans. [/QUOTE]
