Psionics Transcended: The Power of Ki

154

Saving Throws

The character receives a bonus equal to her magic

rating to the DC of all spells and spell-like abilities she

uses for each of the magic types Characters also receive

bonuses to their saving throws for an equal amount

based on their magic rating

A 4th level cleric would get a +4 bonus to the DC of

her divine spells and spell-like abilities and a +4 bonus to

saving throws against divine spells and spell-like abilities

Spell Resistance

Spell resistant creatures receive a bonus to SR equal

to their magic rating against different types of magic

Likewise, the magic rating grants a bonus to caster checks

to overcome spell resistance based on the spell being cast

A spell resistant creature with a magic rating of 4 in

arcane magic would get a +4 bonus to spell resistance

against arcane spells and spell-like abilities

You must have already have spell resistance in order

to gain a bonus to spell resistance

Spell-Like Abilities

If a spell-like ability is granted by a class, it has the

same magic type as spells granted by that class Spell-like

abilities for classes that do not cast spells and that do not

explicitly state the type of magic should follow the

creature rules below Characters with a ki pool, like

monks or ninjas gain magic ratings for psionic magic

Antimagic and Dispel

Spells and abilities that generate an anti-magic field or

can dispel magic work on all types of magic If a saving

throw or SR is allowed, then it is adjusted normally

Creatures

Unless otherwise stated or easily determined by their

spell-like abilities or spells, extraplanar outsiders will be

using divine magic, creatures with a Ki pool will be using

psionic magic and all other creatures will be using arcane

magic The GM has final verdict and may change this to

fine-tune any encounter

Commentary

This rules variant is provide to help satisfy those who feel

that psionics is not magic However, the playing field

should be level with no special advantage to any one

class While not perfect, this alternate rule lays a

foundation for a GM to tailor her campaign to her own

designs
