I really like the ideas about monastery life being the place one improves him/herself. Improving your mind will lead to power, but it’s not an easy path. In our (real) world, you can improve your mind while leaving your body and spirit weak (anyone seen Bill Gates in a Speedo? Anyone want to??) but in a psionic world the three improve together (as you gain levels and PSP). I don’t really want to have this world dominated by dragons, though I would like to play in such a world. I am looking to just sneak out magic and sneak in psionics without changing too much else. Right now, my cultural model is old China. The warriors have a wuxia feel to them (Couching Tiger Hidden Dragon et. all) and the powerful magic is used at the user’s risk (wilders). Religion is part of life, but it’s more of a cultural thing (as stated before, now refined to fit the Chinese model). If you ask a person why they do one particular thing, they are often not sure if it’s a religious thing or a cultural one. Monsters exist in the world, but they rarely use magic. The ones that do are very dangerous. I also am interested in what has been said about the effect of psionics on manufacture. I can see how a shaper can make a fortune, but is it really more than a mage in the current system? I am looking at Ebberon for a model of how a magic rich world would really look. Maybe I can steal the best of those ideas for my world. Yes, there should be a lot of bald people! Great! I really love the idea of “Cuthulu with Crystals”. That fits the idea almost exactly, but maybe I would amend it to “Crystal Wuxia meets Cuthulu”.  --So, I am still worried about healing. What do people think about making Body Adjustment a level lower, and have it heal 1D10 per PSP used. That makes first level Psychic Warriors more powerful, but it will keep them alive until 4th level. Side note: Has anyone played with taint rules? Did it work? Thanks everyone, this is really helping!</blockquote>
