[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 1710621, member: 2067"] Psionics. I'm 100% serious. Psionic powers are more universal than magic spells, thanks, in part, to the augmentation system, that allows you to spend more PP to do different things with the power. Failing that, try the similar Wheel of Time system -- basically, one spell fills 9 levels, and what level you cast it at determines what effects it has...spend a 9th level slot on a 'spell of killing things with fire' and you'll have a different effect than a 1st level slot in it, but it's still just one spell, one basic mechanic. My rules are (1) "If you don't know what it does you can't use it." You can't tell me "I cast [i]wish[/i], what happens?" You need to know the specifics. And (2) "Use the sovellior/sage SRD". :) That thing has bookmarked the spells alphabetically, making looking up the spell as quick as making a few clicks. A lot of computer aids endeavor to do the same thing. Though I benefit from having a comp basically right at the gaming table. [/QUOTE]
