It also requires serious dedication on the part of the character to hit those threshold to expand and/or develop their powers.Drohemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592145361364392310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3922722966649601130.post-73721639021336731862013-03-16T17:40:13.089-04:002013-03-16T17:40:13.089-04:00And the more I think about it, the more I like the...And the more I think about it, the more I like the +3/+5 threshold option. This way, the ability is more expandable as I release further expansions. You can always say that a new mystical discipline was discovered that allows you to use your mysticism to foul mechanical devices or intuit direction or whatever seems reasonable later on as the game grows.<br /><br />I'm thinking that psionics is now going to work the same way, only linking to Mind and using a variety of different sub-abilities. Between mysticism and psionics, they become the force in this game, but few characters would be able to get both of them. You are either going to be psionic or mystical, but rarely both (and probably neither. These are going to be niche character traits to begin with).Dr. Mike Desinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826501692186095437noreply@blogger.com
