[QUOTE="Caliber, post: 148910, member: 1310"] Well, this isn't really a place for this but ... Basicly, I didn't like the whole, psionic monsters can use each of their powers 3x a day. Instead I gave them PPs as if they had levels of Psion = to their HD. They received no bonus points from high stats, but as a small boost, I also gave them enough points to use each power 1 extra time. I think Mind Flayers came out an 80ish number, and it worked rather well. Of course I didn't have too mandy psionic monsters (the only Psion in the party quit after one session) so I was never able to tell how balanced it was. To keep this post from being a complete hijack, I will go back to psionic combat. It always bothered me, paying PPs for it. I think, outside of Mind Blast, I wouldn't mind too much letting players manifest the powers a number of times a day free. Perhaps the number of times they can manifest talents.
