Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nifft" data-source="post: 922529" data-attributes="member: 6562">I'm working on a Psionic/Arcane spellcasting PrC. The powers are going to be similar to yours, but the mechanics different.Since arcane magic is typically better than psionic powers, many of the class abilities will go towards using Power Points to boost spellcasting.Here's my take on the powers:Companion Psinergy: The character may merge his Psi Crystal and his Familiar into a single entity. He gains benefit from both, and it gains powers as though his PrC, Psion and arcane caster class levels were added together.Eldrich Psinergy: The character gains a bonus to his spellcasting based on his psionic talent. This is an unnamed bonus which stacks with everything:- Egoist: +1 to Transmutation DCs- Nomad: +1 to Conjuration DCs- Savant: +1 to all Dispel Magic caster level checks- Shaper: +1 to Evocation DCs- Seer: +1 to all caster level checks to overcome Spell Resistance- Telepath: +1 to Illusion DCs- Psychic Warrior: +1 to Concentration checks related to spellcastingMeta-Psinergy: The character's metamagic and metapsionic feats can be intermingled and either apply to both arcane spells and psionic powers. (This is a good 1st level ability.)Psionic Metarcana: The character can apply a metamagic (or metapsionic) feat to one of his spells "on the fly", without using a higher-level spell slot or increasing the casting time. Instead, he must pay 2 PPs for each level that the spell would have been raised. For example, a Wizard could Quicken his prepared Fireball by paying 8 PPs at the time of casting. This is a free action.Mental Arcana: The character can cast a spell as a purely mental action. Invoking this ability expends the spell slot and uses PPs as though the spell were a power of the spell's level. (In other words, a paralyzed Wizard could cast a prepared Dispel Magic on himself, but it would cost him 5 PPs in addition to using up the prepared spell.) The mental Power evokes a Display depending on the normal spell's components:- Material = Mental- Somatic = Visual- Verbal = AuditorySpells with expensive material components can be cast, but with the additonal PP cost of 1 PP per 10 GP.Spells with a Focus cannot be cast a mental actions if the Focus is unavailable.Psinergistic Preparation: If the arcane caster is able to prepare spells, he may prepare a psionic power as a spell of equal level (that is, in place of preparing a spell of that level). "Casting" the power does not consume PPs.Psinergistic Penetration: The character may expend power points to enhance his ability to penetrate Spell Resistance, at the rate of 2 PPs per +1 on the caster level check. Spending PPs thus is a free action. (Note: this is a limited application of the Heighten Spell Feat.) -- Nifft</blockquote>
