[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 9142052, member: 87792"] I think you misunderstand the Aberrant Mind and Psionic Sorcery. [HEADING=2][INDENT]Psionic Sorcery[/INDENT][/HEADING] [INDENT]Beginning at 6th level, when you cast any spell of 1st level or higher from your Psionic Spells feature, you can cast it by expending a spell slot as normal or by spending a number of sorcery points equal to the spell's level. If you cast the spell using sorcery points, it requires no verbal or somatic components, and it requires no material components, unless they are consumed by the spell.[/INDENT] Psionic Sorcery doesn't require a sorcery point to use. It requires you to cast spells by using sorcery points. You can turn spell slots into sorcery points at the rate of 1 spell level for 1 sorcery point. So at the start of the day you can literally dump all your spell slots into sorcery points - and once they are sorcery points you can use them for psionic sorcery as if they were spell points (as well as for metamagic) and you will get the benefits of psionic sorcery if you do. And this is why I call it a spell point caster - you can turn all your slots into sorcery points and then use them to cast spells losslessly. What this will not let you do is cast e.g. Shield as an act of psionic sorcery because it doesn't come from Psionic Spells but is instead an orthodox spell you are forcing your psionic energy to fuel. But (assuming sorcery points remaining) it is free to cast Detect Thoughts or Telekinesis out of your sorcery point pool. Edit: Where this misses is if you've picked up divination, enchantment, [I]illusion[/I], or other psychic spells from your base spells rather than just through the Aberrant Mind's extra spells or trading them you should be able to cast them with Psionic Sorcery as well. But that's a more minor quibble. [/QUOTE]
