Psionics in your game?

[TarionzCousin]

This can't be a true segment of the population...

While I'm a huge psi-fan and definitely use it, I'm shocked at over 50% saying yes.

Based on anecdotal evidence, I agree.



I am a recent convert to Psionics. It's so much more flexible than d20 magic. Plus, the group I joined a year ago plays all gestalt characters, and psionics gives us more options.

 

[Mercule]

I've used psionics since I got the 1E APH. They represent magic of an inherent nature, IMC.

 

[Remathilis]

I'm using Eberron, so I allow all the psionic classes and plan on having psionic monsters and foes in an upcoming adventure.

I use XPH + CPsi + Eberron-Specific Stuff.

 

[Odhanan]

Yes, sure -I'd allow psionics. Now, they're not common, but psionic creatures like Mind Flayers do exist in Praemal. Psionic characters wouldn't bother me at all, much like Incarnum classes, shadowcasters, binders, nine swords practitioners and such.

 

[Vraille Darkfang]

I allow the Expanded Psionics Handbook & Complete Psionic.

Other stuff on a Case by Case Basis.

In my games Psionics Represents a different approach in how to tap the Arcane Energies.

I use a Variant of the Psionics are Different (basically a -5 when crossing between the 2).

The Godswrack Plateau is Dominated by Psionics, Trad. Arcane Casters are Very Rare. Psionics are also found in the Bordering Regions & get rarer the farther you get.

As the Area is from from the Normal Regions Players are in, any Psionic Item brings a great deal of Exotic Flavor with it.

(I also have an Entire Monastic Order Dedicated to Incarnum, if a Player is ever interested).

 

[The Lost Muse]

Other - Yes, I allow psionics, and I will CONSIDER stuff beyond the core.

 

[Silver Moon]

I voted "other". In our group's 24+ year history it has only been used a couple of select times with select characters. I do plan to change that this summer when I run PirateCat's module "Of Sound Mind".

 

[PrinceXaxor]

I don't have a game running right now, but if I was running, it would be available to my players. They might not want to use it, but I would. They would probably change their minds after getting hit with some of the weirder ones, though I would be using transparency.

It doesn't deserve the bad rap most people give it, but that is a topic for another thread.

 

[blargney the second]

It's a great system, and the DMs of our group have used it for ages. In fact, we've finally got our first full-on psionic PC coming into the game next session. Yay!

There's a warforged soulknife in my group, and the players have access to the XPH classes (but not races, as they don't really fit into Eberron without a lot of shoehorning, for the most part) and material from CPsi on a provisional basis. I think it might be time to start throwing some psionic enemies at them...
