Skill-Based ST for Psionic attacks?!
Hey, y'all!
I was looking at Generic Universal Eggplant's "Mind Blade" power, here: https://enragedeggplant.blogspot.com...ind-blade.html. This feature of the power caught my attention: Quote:

Re: Skill-Based ST for Psionic attacks?!
Sounds like something that was made up by the author of the Pyramid article, but I don't have Psionic Powers to check and see if you may have just overlooked something.
I will note that canonically basing an effect (such as damage) on a different attribute seems to use the same pricing as basing a success roll on a different attribute, and the "Skills for Everyone" guidelines from Powers suggests allowing any attribute roll to be replaced by a skill roll; combining these factors may well be the justification for basing damage off skill.

It comes from Pyramid #3/69: Psionic II, p. 18. I created it. Originally, I had it sitting at +20% per level, but PK and I both agreed that it should be lower. Thus it was +10% per level.

Re: Skill-Based ST for Psionic attacks?!
since there is already an option to sub Will for ST to determine Basic Lift, I'd say it's not farfetched to allow a trained will-based skill
