[QUOTE="fnork de sporg, post: 2779787, member: 4713"] Would it also only have the core races from the Expanded Psionics Handbook? Expect to see lots of Crystal mines/farms. The price of crystal might go up is there's ot enough to meet the demand. Or there might be advanced ways of growing large amounts of crystals in relatively short periods of time. As written, psionic characters typically live in communes dedicated to their the study of their class or are self taught. And psionic potential is pretty much a random factor, with no other classes available a nonpsionic person has no real chance for greatness. I would picture a world with much smaller population, with no huge cities or empires. Somewhat insular and with a tendency towards neutrality. This means less agriculture and lots more undeveloped wilderness. There might be many days travel between towns. Towns would be self sufficient and while trade would be relatively unimportant and much more difficult iots relative rarity might make the profits that much more impressive. So removed each town would develop its own unique cultural identity and customs. Smaller conflicts between cities and tribes would probably be quite common but huge armies and widescale wars would be almost unheard of. Non psionic beings would be almost always be considered somehow inferior or lesser to the psionics. In some places having limited rights or being treated as second class citizens. IN some places they might not be allowed to own property or in an evil society they might be slaves. Differences might be shown in clothing, housing, food, choice and number of mates, and all kinds of other means. [/QUOTE]
