[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7866379, member: 6802378"] If the DM wants to create a low-level magic setting then the players will ask firearms, (or to play a fantasy weird western) or alchemy, but in closed rooms it may be too dangerous. And a psionic can't be only a sorcerer with a pool of power points. This is not only about game mechanics but also a special flavor in the background. Are they as X-Men or like jedi masters? How are the relations with arcane, divine and primal spellcasters? Maybe the clerics when find a potential psionic manifester this is recruited and trained as an ardent. Maybe they are feared because their powers can be too subtle, for example somebody suffering hallucinations in the wrong (or right) place and time and there is a tragedy (or a villain is terminated). If wizards are like scientific investigators, sorcerer as artists with talent and warlocks as traders, the psionics would be like athletes of mind sports and their powers as fruit of hard training, with a clear philosophy about discipline and hard work. A wizard prays abracadabra and moves a wand but a psionic is touching her head with her fingers (craniosacral massage) to concentrate better. [/QUOTE]
