Spell Conversion Levels 0 and 1

[Cabral]

Okay, my campaign is postponed so I thought I'd take the time to convert the standard Divine and Arcane spells to use the Psionics spell point system.

The only casters are an Artificer, Enchanter (Psion - Telepath), Psychic Warrior and a Sorcerer. Obviously, only the first and last need converting.

As part of the revision, I'll be bumping most cantrips up to first level. Not sure about the rest. For the remainder:
Option 1) Bump them up to First level as well.
Option 2) Allow them to be used at will. (I do not like cast x per day and then the rest cost 1 spell point.)
Option 3) Remove them from the game. (Not really an option ... at least for the long term.)

So, let's see how many I have the patience for in one post

"Level 0"
If it is normally on your class list, Read Magic at will as a spell like ability at will; or
treat "magic" as a written only magic.

Level 1
Armor Enhancement, Lesser: rename Armor Enhancement, base off Metaphysical weapon but language for augment needs to be figured out to allow for the +x gp special abilities (like Shadow).

Inflict Light Damage: This will be renamed Inflict Damage and use the same mechanic as Inflict Wounds, Cure Wounds, and Repair Damage. This will probably be based off of the Body Adjustment power.

Magic Weapon: See above.

Repair Light Damage: See Inflict Light Damage.

Weapon Augmentation, Personal: Rename Weapon Augmentation; Add:
"Augment: +2 Spell Points, the enchanted Item can be used by anyone; +4 Spell Points duration becomes 1 hour/level; Each +2 Spell Points increases maximum equivelant bonus by +1. (Needs language for +x gp enhancements.)

I'll probably do 2nd through 4th (which will make me caught up with my players - starting level 8) in a few days after I finish most of these ...

Note: I don't have Magic of Eberron so I won't be doing any of those spells ... Maybe if I ever get it I might come back and add them.

DC should scale with augmentation, or at least is does with a lot of the existing psionic powers.

Acid Splash same as before w/+1 dice +1 power point(pp)and mabe an are increase(+5ft +2 DC?)

Endure Elements: 1 new element for each two or four points

Expeditious Retreat: one round per pp(if duration is only one round like i think it is)

Protection from [Alignment] Change the bonuses to 2x the number of pp invested, or +1 per pp
Ray of Enfeeblement:1 extra dice per four pp or +1 per 2 pp

Ray of Frost (moved from 0th level)see burning hands

Sleep:+1 pp +2hd
Touch of Fatigue (Very nasty with vitalizing Spell Points option) not 0 or first or second or third level
True Strike:Lets you hold the strike for 1 round per 2 pp and/or use it for your next two attacks for +4 pp

 

[Cabral]

The Psionics Handbook does not always scale DC with augmentation.

Also, Sleep's augmentation is copied from Daze, Psionic. It and Sleep both of which affect 4HD without augmentation. Deep Slumber affects 10 HD and is level 3, or +4 spell points. The sleep above would affect 8 HD for the same spell points. I think it's worth it to combine the two spells into one and exchange some power for versatility.

 

[magic_gathering2001]

I didn't have books so I wasn't sure but I thought most powers did...

as for sleep i didn't see the one you had before i posted, the same goes for any others i redid.
