ADnD Psionics
Power Checks
Instead of trying to roll under the Power Score, add the 1d20 to the Power Score and try to roll a total over 20.
For example, if a psionist wants to use a power with the Power Score listed as "Wis-4" and has a 15 wisdom, he would need to roll a 10 or higher to succeed.
Natural 20 count as exact Power Score rolls (critical successes) in the old system.
Natural 1 count as 20 (critical failures) in the old system.
PSP Contact Combat
Attacker chooses how many PSPs will be used on what kind of attack(Light, Neutral, Dark).
Defender, with Thought Shield, may lower his MAC Against an attack by spending 1 PSP per -1 MAC(Max -10 MAC) or against charm/illusion/summoning spells each 1 PSP lowers the save by one down to a max of class save limit. (i.e. no Psionist could drop his save vs Spells below 7). This benefit lasts until the defender's next turn.
Roll the attack and damage to defender PSP, if it hits. Attacker gets refunded PSP based on attack type, if it misses.
- Power scores(Critical successes) do double damage to PSPs.
- Critical failures lose all PSPs regardless of attack type.
