[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 4386894, member: 57112"] Haha, I thought about digging out the old AD&D psionics stuff because I love the whole concept of devotions and sciences. I definitely wanted to go back and spruce up the names of powers as well. I all noticed the general lack of AOE and Miss damage as I was uploading it, and it's going to be the first thing I go back and fix. That and I should probably up the damage, particularly for the daily talents. While there is, at this point, absolutely no difference between stunned and surprised, I used surprised with powers because it seemed to fit the flavor a little better, though I could see how it could get confusing as every other class just stuns. Constitution based powers (Biofeedback and the whole Psychometabolism suite) I'm saving for the Psychic Warrior. Scare Tactics I thought as written works only against the first target, if not I should clarify that more. I originally thought to make it a sustain standard, and with a shorter range. I could also make this a daily attack of a higher level (probably 15) by giving it some damage. As for splitting the powers into disciplines, I was using the Warlock as the basic design model for the class, with Telepathy taking the starring role as the "split" discipline (their powers use both basic attack stats, as per the Star Pact.) I've considered making Telepathic attacks based solely on Charisma, but I wondered if there would be issues with using three separate attack stats for a single class. I've thought about rolling Seer and Telepath together (as the flavor exists right now one read minds while the other manipulates them, easy enough to combine) and giving some of the Seer stuff (like Psychoportation) to the Psychic Warrior. Do you guys think this is a better idea? Thanks for all of your advice and I'll be updating the class when I'm able to get back to it. [/QUOTE]
