Psion List

Their seems to be at least a couple conflicts to be work out.

=====
The new post:
Psionic Attacks
The School of Psionic Attacks use Surge Casting instead of the normal Concentration method when cast. Any of the attacks that include the Physical descriptor can be blocked by any defense that will stop a Ranged Physical attack, such as Yado or Stoneskin. Psionic Attacks automatically hit their target, and have a maximum range of 20 feet.

The current rule book:
Dodge
Skill (Periodic), Defense
This defense skill allows a character to avoid one attack dealt against her, including a magical spell or prayer. The attack fails and the skill, spell, or prayer is considered used. Dodge cannot protect a character against psionics, bard songs, or radius effects.


=====
Clarification from 5th post:
"All of the normal limitations of the Concentration trait apply."

Rule Book Suplement: Psions and Psionic Abilities
To utilize her power, a psion must maintain precise control over her body and mind. During the five or ten second concentration time before an attack, defense or discipline is delivered, a psion cannot fight or defend with weapons, use skills, or perform other manual actions, and can only move about at a walking pace. However, a psion’s mental discipline is such that even if a psion is struck by an attack, her concentration is not broken.

=====
Just to be clear the old Psionic attacks were 5 seconds of concentration, under this new listing all Psionics take 10 seconds of concentration.


Ok, that's it at a glance.

P.S. Fate of Greater Protection still has Obscurement listed in it.

The new edition of the rulebook with many of those changes has not been posted yet.

Hotfix for Psionic Attacks - this will be edited into the original post as well:

The School of Psionic Attacks is slightly different from the normal Schools of diciplines, and use the following rules / exceptions:

• Psionic Attachs use Surge Casting instead of the normal Concentration method when cast
• Psionic Attacks automatically hit their target, and have a maximum range of 20 feet.
• Psionic attacks that include the Physical triat can be blocked by any defense that will stop a Ranged Physical attack, such as Yado or Stoneskin.
• All Psionic Attacks are "visible" in the same way spells, prayers, or other casted effects are.

Dodge and other defenses will be updated to remove the exception to Psionics, rather than explicitly listing it here, keeping things streamlined.

While reading over the Archcaster list, I noticed this:

Battle Casting

Tier: 4

Build: 10

Maximum: 2 Purchases

Pre-Req.: 1 Tier 3 Battle skill

Traits: Skill (Periodic), Skill (Continuous), Augment (Battle Casting)

When invoked the user chooses one sphere, domain, psionic ability tree (Attack, Defense, or Disciplines), or variety of Bard Song (Nocturne, Lyric, Fanfare, Requiem, or Riddle). For the duration of the battle, the user may surge cast any abilities form the chosen category. Additionally, while casting any abilities, the user is no longer interrupted by damage. If struck while casting, the caster should finish casting and state “Battle Casting” to inform the attacker that they were not interrupted.

Does the Psionics section of this skill need to change based on the new structure of Psionics?
