[QUOTE="GnomeWorks, post: 181961, member: 162"] Answer - yes, all of the above. The point system is very similar to the system used in 2e. Bonus power points are based upon your philosophy, of which there are two - a physical aspect, and a mental aspect. The physical aspect bases bonus PSP's on constitution, while the mental bases them on wisdom. The powers are 2e powers converted into 3e format. Each power has 3 stages, and the usage of development slots allows access to higher stages. The psionicist from 2e has been blended with the 3e psion. With two aspects and six specializations in the six disciplines, there are a total of 12 'subclasses' of the psionicist. There is no psychic warrior, nor any other psionic class. Psionic combat is one system that is still being worked out. However, we have removed the common 10 modes and replaced them with 13 new modes, 6 attack and 7 defense. Psionic feats... is another section I am unsure of. There are a multitude of psionic feats, although they are not too similar to those in the PsiHB. There are no longer levels of psionic powers. Instead, the old denominations of 'devotion' and 'science' are used. In addition, a 'high science' term is used to describe very powerful powers (I believe this is a term from Dark Sun, but I'm not sure). Hope that helped. [/QUOTE]
