[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7965442, member: 2525"] Unrelated to my conversation with RE, if I had to make a dedicated psionic class, I'd use the template from Monte Cooks 3e alternate bard. The one which had "powers" (known as spellsongs) that had multiple variations depending on how many points you sunk into them? That's a good template for a psionic user in my view. I think the way it worked was Spellnotes can be combined into spellchords, and spellchords can be combined to make spellmelodies. A bard can expend five spellnote slots for the day to create a spellchord, or three spellchord slots to create a spellmelody. Likewise, a single chord slot can power five notes, and using one melody slot, a bard can cast three chords (or 15 notes). Then the could also weave the different levels of spell songs, spending two to create a 50 percent increase in duration and range, or a bonus to saving throw DC, or a 50 percent increase in damage. An example of the powers: Spell note: Songstrilke: With a single note, you blast forth a cone of sonic energy from your mouth that inflicts 1d4 points of damage per three caster levels (to a maximum of 5d4). And that note, upcast to a spell chord: Sonic Blast: As songstrike,except for the increased range, plus this spellsong inflicts 1d4 points of damage per level to a maximum of 10d4. [/QUOTE]
