((Hey Draigean, could I change my skills around? I mean, I'm not actively in the game, and looking at some of these new psionics is making me drool a bit. Oh man the possibilities. THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!))

((Now, I'm sure you're all wondering how you're going to buy all these tasty new abilities, and, since I just finished the passive abilities, I suppose I should tell you.

These new psionics are bought with ability points. Every time you increase a skill (including character creation), you get an ability point in that skill. These points are used to buy abilities, and once you spend an ability point, its gone. The skill isn't decreased, but your available pool of ability points decreases. So, if you started with a character that had a will of 6 and a passive kinetics of 2, they'd have a total of 4PK points to spend. Which isn't much.

Control points are special in the psionic category (like Fighting in combat or Talking in social) in that ability points in Control can be substituted for ability points in any other category. Control is about finesse and skill, and is applicable to P/A.K/E which are more expression of raw power.

Example:

Tyrin has these points for psionic skills,
2 Control
2 P.K
2 A.K
2 A.E
6 P.E

So, he can just bust a move and buy Energy Drain, Field Absorption, and Suggestion (6 points of P.E, and 2 points of A.E). However, if he really wants to buy Paralyze instead of energy drain, he can spend his two control points, two A.E points, and two P.E points to buy it.
Hopefully that example was more helpful than confusing.

Anyway, here are the points you actually have. I'm giving you this because I don't expect you to keep track yourself. I will log any remaining values on your character sheets sometime that is later than now.

Tyrin (Power Level: 14)
2 Control
2 P.K
2 A.K
2 A.E
6 P.E

Anna (Power Level: 19)
4 Control
3 A.K
3 P.K
5 A.E
4 P.E

James (Power Level: 20)
3 Control
3 A.K
8 P.K
3 A.E
3 P.E

Dominique (Power Level 28)
4 Control
8 A.K
5 P.K
5 A.E
6 P.E

Spend Away!

P.S: Dom and James also have an evolution banked.))

(I'm afraid I don't quite understand. Do I just buy my powers over again? Or do I have access to all of them, but can only use however many is equivalent to my amount of points, like being able to use a 12-point Active Kinetics whenever I want because that's my total?)

((Okay, your skills are untouched, all these points are for is buying abilities (Specifically Advanced abilities). You keep all your basic abilities, and all the other evolutions that you've accrued, but you use this pool of points to buy from the advanced abilities. (The point cost for each ability is displayed at the bottom of that ability's tab)

Where did you get a Twelve point active kinetics?))

((Hrmm. It seems that you start with two ability points in each skill, and any points you put into that skill afterward add one ability point? Did I get that right?))

((Err, no. The points you get are strictly skill values. Tyrin has a will of 6, which trickles down to an effective skill of 2 in all willpower based abilities (All psionics), and he has a raw skill of 4 in passive empathetics. Add his effective skills and his raw skills and you have his total derived skill. Which is what I use to determine ability points.))

((Ah. And how is effective skill determined? Will/number or is it every three points = one effective skill?))
