Baron Phylos 04-16-04, 01:58 PM	Isn't that plain missing the point of Generic classes?

I mean, it's still magic, but there's a base list of "powers known" - anywhere from 2 to 36, and a secondary list telling the highest level you can know. It also ahsa heck of a lot of "augmentable" effects, that do different things (or more of 'em) depending on the points you spend, built into the powers. A generic psion would look a bit different than a generic spellcaster.... To do it, simply take out the spells know/spells per day with the progression of the psion. Psion's pretty generic as it stands. Edit: 42 to 36. Where did 42 come from?
Wickerbull 04-17-04, 03:09 PM	But what would you call the generic psionics user? Powermanifester? Boy, that's a mouth-full. I like the idea, don't get me wrong, but I think that we need to name the class first, to get that out of the way.

Jack Daniel 04-17-04, 03:12 PM	Easy. Call the class "psionicist," give it the same bonus feat progression as the spellcaster, and the same power progression as the psion -- except, no primary discipline. Let the class access the psion list and all the discipline list, the same way the spellcaster can cast any wizard, cleric, or druid spell. One good save, skills like a spellcaster, probably the poor BAB and d4 hit die.
Wickerbull 04-17-04, 08:06 PM	Okay then. Sounds good. So, whose gonna put together the table for this new generic class? I can't believe I forgot all about the terms "psychic" and "psionist".
Michael Tree 04-17-04, 09:03 PM	Originally posted by Wickerbull I can't believe I forgot all about the terms "psychic" and "psionist". Let alone "psionic" or "mentalist." ;)
Michael Tree 04-17-04, 09:09 PM	Augment: +2 power points for one additional post. :D
Wickerbull 04-19-04, 11:19 AM	Originally posted by Michael Tree Let alone "psionic" or "mentalist." ;) What is this, "Pick on Wickerbull Day"? :D I use the term "psionic" all the time! At least I have a national holiday. Anyway, who wants to do that class table and post it? Or do we need one?
princeofcincinnati 04-20-04, 03:25 PM	yea unless you just use the spellcaster's
Ryan_Singer 04-21-04, 10:13 PM	Originally posted by princeofcincinnati yea unless you just use the spellcaster's I think you missed the meat of the issue: How many PP per level and how many powers known per level. What's wrong with going with the psion progression for PP and powers known?-Ryan
