Re: Alternative Psionics
Only if you assume a 100-point base cost for the advantage. Most psi advantages cost way less than that.

Re: Alternative Psionics
I created a psi system that used Realm Magic as a its base. It's type of psionic power was a given "realm." I had six tiers total. Worked quite well. I had a single controlling VH skill for each power. It worked pretty decently.

Re: Alternative Psionics
Would that mean that ESP was spread across several or all Realms, since 'Sense' (Detection and Measurement) is the first thing you learn to do with a Realm?

Re: Alternative Psionics
Just Telekinesis for a remote sense of touch right? I mean Telepathy and Ergokinesis already have sensory elements. Oh wait, Teleportation. That would be awkward since it would automatically mean you could sense your destination at a distance.

Re: Alternative Psionics
I'd have to check my notes, but for most it functioned as a "I can detect uses of my power vaguely" and then more precision at 3 or 4. For some powers (like TK), it instead worked as a kind of "remote sense of touch."

Re: Alternative Psionics
Its worth noting that you can split up realms into whatever levels you like: the levels given in the book are (solid) examples. Though it appears something at least similar was used.
I don't think realms are a good way to save points though: they're generally nice because of their flexibility, not because they are a bargain.

Re: Alternative Psionics
Sorry for the delayed responses, Sunday was the Honey-Do day yesterday I didn't get on my computer at all either.

Realm magic? I don't recall seeing that one yet. Is it in Magic or Thaumatology? Or somewhere else? |

Re: Alternative Psionics
If you want really, really cheap psi, consider the "Magic as Psi" from Pyramid #3/29.
