[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9673107, member: 6704184"] Star Wars Saga Edition Force Powers (but 5e style spontaneous casting, not the ‘you choose Move Object 2 times so you can use it 2 times’ paradigm) combined with perhaps 3-5 psionic skills, and invocation style Talents, on a class framework that is a mix of the warlock and monk. So you spend Focus to use a power, roll a skill check to see how powerful the effect is, and scaling is tied to getting stronger with the skills and getting more focus to spend to heighten effects. You’d also have basic Focus Techniques just like Monk that have at-will and costed uses. Then, your Psionic Talents (invocations) and subclass features would give stuff like “cast this spell but differently and/or without spell slots” or extended telepathy, special senses, ability to create mental construct weapons, psychometry (including the ability to cast identify without components), etc Base class would probably give basic telepathy and telekinesis, and probably unarmored defense and ability to change damage types to psychic and then later to force or psychic. Spells obtainable via talents and such as well as base class features would include the obvious stuff like message and mage hand, but also absorb elements, catapult, scatter, Shadowblade, various illusions and divinations, etc. A subclass all about psychic constructs would get all the force construct spells, as well as weapon attack spells and the ability to make construct weapons and be proficient with them.
