Report #447
Skillset: Psychometabolism Skill: None
 Org: Nekotai Status: Rejected Aug 2010
Furies' Decision:
We do not find this to be necessary
Problem: As Psionics was primarily designed for mages, around the assumption
that it would be the primary attack method for its users, it simply does not
synergize as well as Acrobatics does with Monks, who rely on constant kata forms
for best effectiveness. The problem is most evident at the lower end, where
Acrobats receive a variety of useful and in some cases vital support effects by
the time they hit Master (Climb, Sprint, Somersault) and Psionics only get DMP
effects and offense skills that really, they shouldn't be using. In summary, it
is impossible to recommend Psionics as a viable alternative to Acrobatics in its
current state for novices or the credit-deprived.
Solution #1: Make Psychometabolism its own skillset, still Psionic in nature,
 with the combined skill list of the current Psionics and
 Psychometabolism skillsets combined. Rearrange the list and trim
 certain elements to better benefit lower power monks, with
 emphasis on easier access to utility skills. Proposed list here:

Solution #2: Allow kata-type abilities to be used off psionic balance. This
 will actually give monks some use for the active type Psionics
 abilities.

Solution 2, although I ask that the envoys and admins monitor the changes and
perhaps adjust any unforeseen imbalances outside of envoy reports

I like solution 2. Might actually see some use from celladjustment!
