> ##### Magic Or Not > > With the most two recent subclasses added in TCoE we finally have a system for making psionics. But this still doesn't answer the eternal question. Do you consider Psionics magical? Asked for the purpose of detect magic and antimagic fields. This supplement works either way. However, for the purpose of balance, I do not consider them magical. > > I believe that psionics give off their own colored hue when detected, but are below the full power of magic at all times. The powers would work in antimagic fields. The point of the system I have created is to make sure that at no time are psionics as powerful as spells. Of course any full level individual with a lot of psionics will be more powerful than a wizard in an antimagic field, but hopefully psionics will only be a bit more powerful than the martial classes. > > For objects requiring spellcasting, full psionic casters are counted as 2/3rd casters. ### Die Cost If a psionic has a Die Cost but the description says that you may not use the feature again until you finish a short or long rest (or a different length of time), you may expend the number Psionic Energy Dice listed in the Die Cost to regain a use. ### Level Minimum Each psionic has a level minimum, the minimum you must meet in order to use it.
