[QUOTE="Humanophile, post: 149007, member: 1049"] Taotad, the problem with psicombat already is that it's wiser to suck the ability drain and use combat powers to blow your opponent away than it is to "waste" PP's on defending agaisnt them. Using your variant, both sides will either take up a "waste the psion" approach, sucking very muchly for such a fragile class, or it'll turn into a "forget the psion" situation, where the psion feels like he's stuck on the sidelines. This approach would be good if the psion were a superclass, but in a class balanced setting, neither is a good idea. Besides, the thing I like about mine is that it already encourages a showdown. The only way to avoid being stuck with your psionic pants down is to be as combat effective as a commoner, but the first person to bring psipowers into play gets whapped by the other guy. Same idea, without quite the pain to it. [/QUOTE]
