I don't think that would make a massive difference, no...... barely anything. Same number of expected uses, +1.7% chance of not running out, +3.3 damage per day.I don't particularly like the idea for being fiddly, but there's nothing terrible about it mechanically.I was thinking that a bit, too, but on balance... it's just a very different use of the die. The Soul Knife gets their psychic blades, which is the standout. They mainly use the die for improving their consistency - skill checks at low levels, then attacks as they get stronger. They're getting a lot of use out of being a psychic class, but they're not rolling the die that much. For the abilities that shrink the die, mostly that's going to be six to eight uses per day of those special abilities, with sometimes using the roll abilities to flesh it out.I did some thinking about this elsewhere. Think about it this way - you get access to a large number of extra spells with ten minutes notice. Some of those are standard ritual spells, too, and if you have ten minutes you usually have 20. It allows the Psionic Soul to be much more of a toolkit caster than a sorcerer usually is, but with a very tightly themed set of tools. Then, the Mind over Body abilities reinforce that. Consider: This is a caster who can fly while invisible, without the sound of flapping wings. That's pretty damn powerful. Some of the combinations you can put together just with Mind over Body and Psionic Discovery are so good that I wouldn't be surprised if Mind over Body used concentration it this gets into a book.</blockquote>
