[QUOTE="Pbartender, post: 606272, member: 7533"] Thanks for the reply, Tacky... Right. That's the trouble... I don't really have much experience with Psion classes, so I'm certain how many PP's and known Powers to give him each level. The answer to "blow up enemy bullets in guns" is... The gunpowder gets 100% cover from the bullet casing and magazine. Nitpicking perhaps, but hey. I fully expect that the Ignite ability would be used to light fuses, dynomite, molotov cocktails, spilled oil/gasoline, etc., but I don't anything as cheesy as blowing up someones gun. Besides, the ability is pretty short-ranged, especially at low levels. Anyway... Now, that's an interesting comment, because I thought the same thing when I was making it... hence only 1 "per day" ability and the Pyrotechnic PP cost. I actually toyed with the thought of making someof the abilities PP's/round or PP's/minute, but couldn't decide how many points they should cost per time interval. I'll think about it more. I did look over a few PrCs to get ideas, but most of the abilities are converted D&D spells... Ignite... I made that one up. Pyrotechnics... Just like the D&D spell, but with the added "brighten/dim" bit. Fire Aura... Fire Shield without scaling damage, and without random warm/cool flames. Fire Affinity... Pretty basic, but with a specialized "Improved Evasion". Elemental Form... Polymorph Other or the Druid's Wildshape amount to the same thing, but limited to Fire Elementals. Fiery Weapon... Similar to Flame Arrow, but with Flaming burst added, and for any weapon the PC holds. So, like you said, it all depends on the PP's and the available powers... Which is what I need help with.
