| Subject: | On allocating dice for sustaining powers |
| Date: | Thu, 28 Jul 1994 20:25:41 +0100 |
computer, I did some thinking with regards to the concept of allocating
pool dice to negate penalties for sustaining powers.
From a mechanics standpoint, what it represents is a PSI that has the
ability to, essentially, multitask (similiar, I suppose to an
encephalon). In addition, it represents a skill, essentially, at
concentrating and organizing many different powers.
This is NOT good for a beginning psi to have.
Instead I propose that the ability to use pool dice to negate penalties
becomes a meta-ability (watch for another post in a bit with ragards to
meta-abilities). This limits it to people that have actually invested
the karma in some organized training in this skill, and keeps the munchie
from sustaining six force-one Psychic Itch powers on that cranky dragon.
(you will note that training doesn't negate stupidity :-)
