[QUOTE="Kinematics, post: 9142234, member: 6932123"] For Draconic Resilience, I could see it being a 3. I don't think I'd give it a 4. I was inclined towards that at first, but adjusted after seeing Protection From Energy as a 3rd level spell. PFE does let you pick an element, though, while this is chosen once and can't be changed, so I dropped it from 3rd level equivalent to 2nd level equivalent (3 SP). 2 SP would be 1st level equivalent, which felt a little low for a permanent resistance effect. I can see the argument that it's unlikely to be very useful, but I did try to keep to those rules. This is where setting the budget becomes tricky. I expect flight to be 5 points no matter what level; it's just that that 5 points is part of a smaller pool as your level goes up. But that's hard to judge when I'm just doing a global budget across 18 levels, and that large pool doesn't come into play. Ultimately, I decided not to try to level-adjust pricing. That's a subjective choice, though. For Psionic Spells — I agree that I shouldn't have marked it as "ribbon"; it should have been "no cost". They have value, but they do not contribute to the budget (at least as far as I'm using it). Telepathic Speech — I judged it being between Message (a cantrip) and Sending (3rd level spell). It certainly has uses for coordinating a split party, and not just RP. It could be a 1st or 2nd level spell, for 2-3 SP. Maybe drop it from 3 to 2. I do need to give more thought to the budget-neutral features. While I still feel that if you have to spend part of your class budget on a feature, it doesn't make sense to consider it an increase in the power budget of the class, I can see the argument that simply having the feature as an option has value.
