[QUOTE="fuindordm, post: 7673829, member: 5435"] Regarding ability score dependence: I would like the ability score driving powers to be intelligence, because we need more classes that are dependent on intelligence and because traditionally genius-level intelligence is something D&D associates with psionics (both characters and monsters). I also like the 2E interpretation where different disciplines are driven by different ability scores, but I don't want too much MAD in the class either. So I'd suggest making Intelligence the primary and having certain signature abilities in the different disciplines/specializations key off of different secondaries. This is analgous to Wis-->spellcasting and Cha-->channeling for clerics. For example: Psychometabolism, Nomad -- Con (disciplines very difficult on the body) Telepathy, Clairsentience -- Wis (perception and willpower very important) Metacreativity, Telekinesis -- Cha (imposing your will on the physical world takes Cha, similar to Sorcerer) But I agree with Yaarel that not all psions should be healthy as horses--there's an important archetype of the frail monk/psion.
