Psychic Magic

[Frodie]

I am working on a race ability for the extraterrestrial template from the MSRD, that gives Psionics. I was looking around in the new Occult stuff and I saw "Psychic Magic". Looks like that might be a good fit. But I really don't know much about the new "Psychic" rules. I understand the script on the ability.

  #resmax[resPsychEn] += field[abValue].value

But I don't know what a good value to give the abValue. ATM I have it 1 point for each HD, but I really have no idea if that is too much, not enough or just plain wrong, lol. Any ideas?

if they're replacing psi-like abilities, I think it's in general take the number of times per day it can be used times the spell level. So a 3rd level spell once per day would get 3 points. Look at the Occult Bestiary for ideas

The ability is:

"Psionics (Sp): The extraterrestrial gains the use of one psionic power of 2nd level or lower. It can use this power three times per day."

But I was thinking the new Occult stuff might have something similar. I'll check out the Occult Bestiary for ideas. Thanks!

The Psychic Magic UMA came from OB so there's lots in there using it to give you ideas.
