Psion's Psonics Attribute.
- Variable casting stat for different subclasses (Int/Wis/Charisma) 19
- Keep it Intelligence only. 20
All of the subclasses for Psion currently use Intelligence for their spell casting stat. A few people have requested making the spell casting stat more variable for the subclasses, and admittely I'm pretty torn on the subject, so I'm making a poll!
The Idea: Awakened = Intelligence, Unleashed = Charisma, Transcended = Wisdom.
The Pro: Gives the subclasses more variety and identity, as well as enables more classic build. There's a certain thematic appropriateness to the selections. People seem to want it.
The Con: Intelligence is already under represented, and taking Psionics away (partially) from it leaves less Intelligence priority in the game. I also feel this makes it a bit too much like magic if it can be controlled by Charisma or Wisdom, and possible treads on the feet of potential subclasses for classes using those casting stats.
The Counter to the Cons (and why I making this poll): With Artificer, i don't think Intelligence is actually under-represented anymore. Githzarai monks have always used Wisdom to control Psionics, so it seems natural. Unleashed being Charisma fits with it being innate power and seems appropriate. Transcended basically screams Wisdom based.
