[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 1156782, member: 5100"] I've pretty much used psionics to represent "mutations" of some sort. Frex, one PC had played with an artifact that he really shouldn't have. His son (same player) ended up with psionic Polymorph (random roll). Likewise, an area known to have enough magical experimentations to create "mana storms" has a disproportionate number of psionic inhabitants. I don't mind the psion as a class, even though I mainly have used wild talents before. In fact, having the class balances and scales better than wild talents. The 3E system is way wrong, though. I don't want V/S/M components for psionics, but I sure as heck don't want psions covered in snot or weird "tinkling" sounds. The ectoplasmic snot is the big one. That and the lame new-agey crystal fettish. I already know I'm a nerd for playing D&D. I don't want my character to be a complete dork. We'll have to see what happens with the 3.5 PsiHB. I'm not sure what I'd do to "save" it that doesn't involve a major rewrite. My vote is the rewrite, but I doubt we'll see that. [/QUOTE]
