[QUOTE="Stunning Serendipity, post: 6906434, member: 6810710"] I've looked at the powers again. Hope this proofreading is useful.Generally: I knowthis is a conversion, but some of the power names feel off. Some spells justdon't work with the sciencey psionic feel. I haven't mentioned all of them. Idon't know if it's worth changing this (tradeoff: one has no idea what acertain power does). [LIST] [*]Alienation: typo in the title (alientation) [*]Amethyst Burst: should have duration instantaneous [*]Bane: the name isn't very psionic. Also, the spell has a Charisma saving throw instead of Wisdom. [*]Barrage: only ranged or also melee attacks? [*]Body equilibrium: I think affecting 10 creatures should cost 2 extra psi points [*]Call to Mind: have to use the new result, or can choose either? [*]Cleanse Body: " Some Possible conditions can be blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned." Are these all the possible conditions? [*]Control Sound: This is strictly more versatile than silence (by a lot). Is that desired? [*]Death Urge: state pp cost [*]Deja Vu: duration would be 1 round, not instantaneous? It affects the creature on its next turn, I suppose. [*]Dispatch: ... weapon attack...? [*]Dragon's Breath: Should it be d6 for the augmentation? Also, the table says damage T8pe and Dracon Scale. [*]Ectoplasmic Shambler: "The fog spreads around corners and is heavily obscured" - the area is heavily obscured? [*]Empathic Conncetion: Should have a range other than self. [*]Empathic Transfer: You're supposed to choose one of the options? [*]Far Hand: 1h duration vs 1min mage hand. Intentional? [*]Fated Future: The sentences are all mixed up. Also, giving advantage on all ability checks and attack rolls for 1 minute to three creatures seems pretty strong for a third level power. I don't know what I'd replace it with. Maybe less targets, with an augment for more? [*]Friends: It's horrible as a cantrip, so I suppose it's not any worse as a talent. Wrong place to change the design, I suppose.
