[Psionic Powers] Drain (Attribute) Question

[PK]

Remember, this is Psychic Vampirism -- you're draining that "energy" from the victim. The idea that you can drain energy that makes someone clumsier is no more believable than the thought of draining energy that dulls someone's senses, IMO.

I admit that Drain (Attribute) is a little more "game-mechanic-based" than most other psi abilities -- I mean, the term Attribute is right in its name -- but it's also far too classic a PV ability to not include.

Yeah. Justification is very important to me for builds involving such things. Your conceptual problem with Speed/Move might apply to other people WRT the other Drains. Frinst… I have trouble understanding why a Drain to DX or HT shouldn't affect Speed.
