It sets the number of psionic spells cast per day, as well as
adjusting the ki pool
All psionic spells and abilities are created from the
positive energy of a living creature or the negative energy
of the undead (negative Ki) The energy is consumed to
power the spell and does not provide any other bonuses
(heal living/undead for example) or penalties to the
target unless otherwise specified
Conversions
If you have a 3rd-party product that uses the standard
power point mechanic, you can convert to this system by
using the following guidelines
Spell Level: The spell level of any psionic power
should be Power points plus 1 then divided by two
(powers costing 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, or 17 points
would become 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and
9th level spells)
Spell Class: Psion and wilder spells become psion
Any wilder only spell can be added to a new wilder spell
list or just added to the general psion list Psychic warrior
spells become psyker spells
Spell School: This can be a little more difficult to
judge Read the general spell school information or
research existing spells to make the choice If the spell
replicates or mostly replicates an existing spell, use the
existing spell instead
Spell Damage: Spell damage and effects should be
based on power level instead of caster level
Augmentations: Most augmentations can be
covered by standard augmentation rules Any other
augmentations should be adjusted to 1-4 ki points based
on power Look through the spells to get a general idea
of what is appropriate You GM will have final say in this
Classes: Classes should be given spells per day
and/or spell known based on an existing class Most
spontaneous casters should follow either the Sorcerer or
Bard spell progression The ability to convert and
augment spells gives a slight advantage in number of
spells per day using this system The reduced damage and
progression of the spells helps bring the whole system
into balance with other classes
Common Terms
Augment: The ability to use ki to increase the power
and scope of psionic spells
Discipline: This describes how a psionic spell is cast
or manifested All psionic spells will have a discipline listed
as a spell descriptor and is not treated as a spell school or
subschool
Ki Feats: These abilities harness the power of ki and
the creature's ki focus state to perform magically
enhanced feats Some metamagic and item creation feats
require a ki pool to function
Ki Focus: This ability is available to all creatures with
a ki Pool It allows a creature to prepare for action and increase their future chances of success
Ki Pool: A pool of supernatural energy that are
utilized by ki powers and psionic magic Typically, this is gained by a character as a class feature Feats and racial abilities can also grant a character the ability to have a ki pool, but it is a smaller amount that does not grown with the character The presence of a ki pool does not automatically allow a character to cast psionic spells or use ki powers If the character possesses levels in multiple classes that grant a ki pool, character levels stack to determine the total number of ki points in the combined pool, but only one ability score modifier is added to the total (see ki pool Modifier) The character can now use ki points from this pool to power the abilities of every class she possesses that grants a ki pool
Ki Pool Modifier: The modifier used to increase your
daily ki pool For psions, psykers, and ninjas this is Charisma For monks this is Wisdom If a character possesses level in multiple classes that grant a ki pool, the choice of which score is used is made when the second-class ability is gained, and once made, the choice is set
Ki Powers: These are trained abilities used by
monks, ninjas, and other classes Most ki powers are beyond the discipline of a psionic spellcaster in the same way that psionic spells may be foreign to a monk
Power Level: The power level is the total amount of
ki in the psionic spellcaster‘s ki pool or the spellcaster‘s level, whichever is lower
Psionic Creature: Any creature that has a ki pool is known as a psionic creature
Psionic Spells: Spells that are cast by trained
spellcasters that know how to collect energy into a ki Pool The spells are divided into the same schools as arcane and divine magic Psionic spells require no components to cast Unlike arcane and divine magic, psionic spells can be cast even if the caster cannot move
or speak
Each psionic spell will be associated with a discipline that is listed in the descriptor of the spell
