In the DF game, I'm GMing I exchanged magic for psi, we are three sessions in already so I may be able to give some input considering what has happened in-game.

Considering PMs, I adapted them to fit DF1 Templates, so psi powers are not divided as per Psionic Powers but as Bard, Cleric, Druid, Holy Warriors, Martial Artist, and Mentalist. Each template has a list of abilities to choose, with a corresponding Talent. Psi categories exist similar to how DF14 treat them.

I like this one; I'm slowing adjusting specific skills to suit better my DF setting. The idea is that psi has been around for some centuries, that is the reason I changed Hidden Knowledge (Psi) to Psilogy IQ/VH, similar to Thanatology.

Since this is a DF campaign, players can only buy elixirs and concoctions, so no input here.

As I said, I'm using Talents (5cp/level) that are template specific. It meshes well with how DF works.
