Psionics from below the grave

[Caliban]

There are two special rulings for undead with psionics:
1) They use Charisma instead of Con for Psychokinetic powers.
2) They cannot use Psychometabolic powers because they have no metabolism.


I just house ruled that Psychokinesis uses Strength and Psychometabolism uses Con.

This clears that up nicely, without the need for the undead specific rulings.

Psychokinesis uses Strength? I think you solved one problem and created another.

Not only does using Strength for Matter Agitation make no sense, but what does your savant do with his high Strength?

Although the savant does less damage than a sorcerer, at least it has one advantage: more hp.

Why would the Psyckokinetic guy have more hit points than the Psychometabolic guy who has complete control over his own body?
