Psionics

[tooley1chris]

Has anyone started work on a home brew of psionicist or Unearthed Arcanas Awakened Mystic? Don't wanna reinvent the wheel.

I've created the Mystic v2 for personal use; however its full of kludges and errors. I have started cleaning it up for the Community pack, but keep getting distracted by RL issues. .

Would you be willing to share this, for my own personal use? Maybe I can help track down some of those errors.

Have either of you made progress on stabilizing the v2 Mystic? I have likewise desire to mess with this and I am extremely slowly trying to learn my way around the scripting/editor but I am vastly out of my depth. I'd appreciate if you'd be willing to share your efforts with me. Please and thank you!

And since we are discussing psionics, to my personal HL I added Gem dragons (the neutral psionic dragons) to the Dragonborn race.

Also, the Shardmind race which will be in an upcoming community pack would be at least thematically inclined towards Mystics.

I'm a bit new to the Authoring kit. Where do I put this code in the Dragonborn Race?
Also can someone send me the Mystic class they have compiled for my use?
Directions on incorporating it will be appreciated as well.
Thank You ahead of time for your help.

[Mergon]

I'm willing. If you find bugs, report them to me please. Remember, this was created for my personal use in my game campaign, so there may be some extras stuff in the .user file that I will be removing for the Community pack.

[tooley1chris]

Most excellent. Thank you for sharing!

[tooley1chris]

Wanted to see it in action before I made a judgement, so I took it up a few levels and the class seems...pretty underwhelming, huh? Not sure any of my group, myself included, would want to play this. Seems the other classes would out pace the mystic from start to finish. Am I missing something?

[Mergon]

Actually, its a pretty powerful class with a caster and a melee equivalents. It does only go up to 10th level atm though. Still. its a class that a wizard can multi-class into.

I'd read the pdf from the Unearthed Arcana website.
