Re: Psionics in TFT
Good deal! Could be a fruitful discussion indeed.
I did a quick web search on this topic, as it seemed like there might have been an old Interplay article along these lines. But the closest thing I found was references to a Space Gamer article titled "The Fantasy Trip meets Katherine Kurtz". Seems to have some rules for a very specific type of psi. Don't know if that's useful or not. |

Re: Psionics in TFT
Too bad. I just spent a bunch of money to get all of those.

Re: Psionics in TFT
My gateway to unlocking psionics will likely be thru my proposal for XP-based 'Heroic Exploits' as discussed in another thread.
http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=160708 Once the portfolio is optioned, however, using IQ to power each individual ability seems like the right approach. Now I just need to figure out what those specific abilities should be.

Indeed a shame.
I don't want to clutter up your thread until you've had time to lay out your idea about how psionics work. But I was struck by a curious notion - what if magical spells that mirror psionic powers are actually inferior copies of those natural talents? For example, Dark Vision is a magical version of an ability that some creatures already possess, and arguably the natural version is superior (it doesn't cost anything, for one). What if psionic Telepathy is a natural and superior version of magical Telepathy? For example, working at range? And likewise all the other psionic talents with magical analogues? Anyway, just wanted to jot this down before I forget it. I'll restrain myself until you've had your proper say. ~_^ |

And while I have stated elsewhere that I don't want to replicate spells with any of my alternative-source powers, I do like your idea that there could be a connection between the two.
