Message: <blockquote data-quote="GnomeWorks" data-source="post: 3397150" data-attributes="member: 162">Sorry to commit thread necromancy here, but I came across something interesting while rereading the Learner description.Learners ignore power point expenditures. Obviously, this leads to a problem.My immediate reaction is to add a clause to the description before the psionic powers, stating that any ability that is based on number of power points expended is treated as though it were used using the minimum power points, with the ability to expend additional talent slots that are treated as the minimum again.Example - for Resilience, a talent slot is treated as 1 PP for the purposes of the ability; the learner may then expend any number of additional talent slots, each of which is treated as 1 PP as far as Resilience is concerned.Exact wording would be: "The abilities of some psionic creatures may mention the expenditure of psionic power points; a learner may ignore such requirements, treating the talent slot expended as replacing the power point expenditure. If the ability allows for spending more power points to produce more effect, then the learner may expend additional talent slots, each of which is equivalent to the number of power points required for each increase in effect, to a maximum of his learner level."The cap on the number of talent slots expended is meant to mimic the metapsionic cap and also to restrict the abilities in some fashion; in the case of resilience, it could get absurd with the amount of damage the learner could ignore.Anyone have a problem with this fix?</blockquote>
