[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7673944, member: 58172"] Honestly, I feel, Charisma has to be the primary casting ability of the Psion base class. A person who is psionic has a ‘presence’. This is clearly Charisma. Also, Charisma often represents innate magical abilities. How the Psion uses this ‘gift’, then depends on their secondary ability. The primary ability, Charisma, is the casting ability for every power. But the secondary ability has significant riders. How about something like this ... Cha-Int = [B]Force[/B] (Psychokinesis, Fly, Force Damage) + [B]Evocation[/B] (Elemental Kinesis) Cha-Wis = [B]Divination[/B] (Clairsentience) + [B]Enchantment[/B] (Telepathy) + [B]Illusion[/B] (Metacreativity) Cha-Con = [B]Transmutation[/B] (Psychometabolism) + [B]Teleport[/B] (Psychoportation) Downplay any Summoning or Necromancy (necrotic damage, ghost, undead, negative energy), because they are too external, but either might make sense in a certain kind of setting. At the same time as a separate Psion class, I also want a Wizard archetype that uses Intelligence to figure out spells and then manifests them psionically. With an ‘eidetic spellbook’, photographically memorizing spells, instead of carrying around a spellbook. [/QUOTE]
