[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 3437420, member: 779"] I like the "Recharge" mechanic used in some places like the Pact Magic 5 rounds, or the 1d4 round Dragon breath. I don't know about MP and slots existing together in the new system, like they do now. Some problems that come up with MP are 'the mana potion dependence' I see in many video games, or the psionic problem of "going nova" with spending all your MP really, really fast (yes I'm aware wizards and sorcerers can go nova too, but it's easier with a psion). If they do exist together, power points usually gets left behind. But I wouldn't mind if psions used some combination of 'slots' and warlock abilities, and they just called in psionics in name. But I do hope psionics still exists as a style, which later there's going to be others like shadow, elemental, fey and so on. I guess much like templates from arcana evolved or whatever. If there's another model I hate about current D&D as is, it's monsters and spell-like abilities per day. I really wish they got something like "paths" or "influences" and can use spells based on those with a certain power level in mind. I sort of do wish there's free-form magic, much like Ar Magica (I don't know that system, but I know Mage really well) like someone mentioned, but I know it wouldn't happen. [/QUOTE]
