[QUOTE="RHM, post: 20876, member: 1274"] Do any arcane or divine spellcasters need more than one exceptional ability to cast their spells? No, they don't. I know how the system is "supposed" to work. I didn't like it and I changed it. This is the house rule forum, isn't it? Metabolism? Hmmm. Sounds more like CON to me. Anyway, what does being strong have to do with using the powers of your mind? Under the current "official" rules, a drooling hulk with 3's across the board except for his 20 in strength can "use his mind" to use an 8th-level power like [i]hypercognition[/i] to "deduce almost anything." Um...okay. And just wait until your egoist reaches venerable age and suddenly has trouble using even his mid-level primary discipline powers without the help of magic or psionic ability-boosting items. More than likely, he'll be kissing any TK or psychoportative powers he has goodbye. Oh, well. None taken. :) Cool? Yes. I love psionics and most of the PsiHB. However, there are big chunks of it I don't like. No, I don't think they're all that balanced. Even the subclasses themselves have a disturbing amount of disparity between them.
