[QUOTE="El Jefe, post: 1872306, member: 19990"] My $0.02 worth is that the magic-psionics transparency as described in the SRD is appropriate for LEW. A mage wouldn't automatically know that a manifested power is a psionic power, and if it mimicked a known magic effect, the mage would assume magic was in use. Per SRD transparency, he could "counterspell" the manifested power. He wouldn't necessarily have any psicraft skill, and wouldn't know that he had somehow countered psionics (unless he otherwise knew that psionics were in use), he would just knew that he "threw a counterspell, and by the gods, it worked!" That all works for me. I don't know if some of the stuff in the SRD fits LEW really well, though. Some of the psionic races seem really world specific. I can't recall from the other thread; are all the SRD psionic PC races available in LEW? I have to confess that I've thought more about psionics in the brief time since The Lost Gem started than I have in all the rest of the time that 3.0 and 3.5 have been out. Maybe LEW has started something, at least it has for me. I'm tempted to make my next LEW character psionic, but for now fear that might be too much of a good thing. Are we really going to have that many psionic adventures available? [/QUOTE]
