Information is spread over multiple books so any index or list is a good idea. There are so many things that could be indexed. Creatures (i.e. animals, plants and things that don't fall into either category like fungi and space dwelling monsters) Psionic powers Equipment Careers Diseases...

Scoundrel could be in there as well. Why stop at rank 6! Just realised it was one of the original ones. Duh!

As for Boost & Psychic Transfer - yeh, if they are used in different ways then keep both. My second paragraph, I now realise could be read the wrong way. I was trying to point out that it was a bad idea to just allow any individual to get awareness of others or teleprojection as part of an...

I also like the way the droyne psionics are handled in that they are specific to that race and I presume could only be learnt by non-droyne under very special circumstances, if at all. Putting the Zhodani powers into existing talents, would make those talents a lot more powerful, especially...

... with the ability to change your mind.

Oh yeh - but I wrote the above on the basis that they are updating AoCS1 to come out next year. A psionics book would be out long before that. I wanted whatever was put in was useable, made sense, did not have questions like what's the range of Teleprojection that should be in the description...

Yeh - but you can't assume that if people have AoCS1, they have the other book(s) with the other additional talents. Therefore they have to be self-contained.

I'm starting this thread on the basis that Aliens of Charted Space 1 is going to be re-examined. There are several things I think are problems with the Zhodani psionic talent. I'm listing these below and what I think can be done to fix them. Problems: 1) The talent is virtually impossible to...

Will do!

Please fix the Zhodani psionic list in the update of AoCS Volume 1. I'll even do it for you.

You've got all the ones I've got or am going through as a player

Wrath of the Ancients? You've got Behind the Claw in twice.

I'm currently playing a psionic character, I think psionics is currently well-balanced. There are three main restrictions on a psionic character. 1) Psi points, these are a valuable resource and not to be wasted as you have to wait at least 3 hours before getting any back. I'd imagine a...

Is this for character creation, for play or for both? Has this been play tested? Because at first sight it looks as if it is going to take a long time to learn very much with an awful lot of failing. Also everything starts off at difficulty 10. Assault starts off at 14!

Use my stuff as well. I should have said that! The only thing I'd prefer you not to is the bioship stuff.
