This is a question that has been annoying me for months. What attribute will the psionics be based off of in Expanded Psionics Handbook. I have reasons to believe it would be wisdom(hoping so for my characters sake). But also have reasons to believe it will be based off of charisma( ).

Please feel free to comment.

Thanks,
Sven

huh, thats weird... I was under the impression that it depended on whether you were a telepath, shaper, or what have you... then all your powers were based on that stat.

The original system was too broken. Setting save DCs on Con? That was just stupid.

More that I was told that if you were a telepath, all your powers were based of Cha, instead of just the telepath ones.
