[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8096706, member: 7006"] I see. So WotC went the default easy route by making psionics spells rather than a more intricate system that the die hards want... ...but a psionics player having to juggle two pools of spell points is too big a hassle to deal with. Right. I don't think you're doing your side of the argument any favors here. ;) Actually there IS no problem. Because anyone who plays a Psionic Soul Sorcerer won't be [I]using[/I] spell components-- just exactly like the other 99% of all the rest of us D&D players already DON'T USE SPELL COMPONENTS. The only thing you AREN'T getting is a line written in the book that says "You don't have to use spell components". But seeing as how almost all of us already don't do that... a line like that doesn't actually gain you anything other than being able to pat yourself on the back and say "See, WotC GETS me!" That's pure ego. It doesn't matter that when you actually play the game it won't run any differently whether that line was in the book or not. A rule that almost no one uses is a rule that doesn't matter. And if it doesn't matter, there's absolutely no reason to get bent out of shape that it exists. [/QUOTE]
