[QUOTE="Kryx, post: 6899172, member: 6670944"] Ok, I've had enough. Rant post: Your posts are laced with condescension and I'm tired of it. You have literally chosen the worst possible power to compare. It is complicated because it has to handle transparency between psionics and magic as well as slots and psi points. If I wrote it with just psi points it could be as simple as dispel magic. Instead please compare one of the other 210 powers that don't have to interact with spells on a slot level basis. The suggested solution you put above would not work because you're asking the caster to convert points into slot levels when he augments. "[COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000]you automatically end[COLOR=#000000] the effects of a spell on the target if the spell's level is [COLOR=#000000]equal to or less than the level of the spell slot you used[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Verdana].[/FONT][/COLOR]" does not cover points at all. As I said above: the system you want already exists in the Wizard. If you don't like the system I'm working on then simply don't use it. Please stop condescendingly telling me how you want to have your psionics system work. Let's take some examples: That is not my goal. As I've stated above Psionics was never spells in 1e, 2e, 3e, 3.5, Pathfinder, or 4e. What [I][B]you[/B][/I] are asking for is a divorce from psionics, not the other way around. Ya, this is just "go back to the old system" garbage that will not be tolerated. A points based system for 5e exists in the DMG on page 288. These statements are just outright rude. You've already suggested this and I've [I]already[/I] told you that I'm not making psionics into spells. I'm not sure how much more clear I can be. The powers that mimic 5e spells in some cases are very similar - only replacing a few words. In other cases they are much less similar. Simply saying "go look at PHB page 123 and replace this and replace that" is not a viable option. Please stop suggesting it. It's not the same! It has to target powers, not spells, and it has to account for psi points and spell slots! I'm not using spells as I've told you before. [/QUOTE]
