Practically speaking of course... Techanicaly no.. because you dont have the mental capicity of animal and you can take it over.. psionics was a class that overpowered all really if you were lucky enough and well crazy enough you could do practically anything you wanted and then some..

Technically speaking (I'm not an animist, mind you) an animal can be controlled because it is below the mental capacity of a human being (biologically speaking of course, it's spirit could be much higher, but psionics is based on mind) So, using that logic, a human being couldn't possibly charm or take over the will of a god.

But it was still possible and a problem which was why they were removed from V 3

True enough but the fact is you would be breaking some major rules in almost all rps domokun Youd take control of another charachter andd quite frankly theres no way to resist a mind probe without prior knowledge of it

Yes but then theres magic that can replicate the same effects.. like wind for example takes care of most of them..

Psionics is not only an interesting sphere to have around, it also allows for greater character development since psionic abilities usually pop up after someone's begun another path (A squire stubs his toe, and in his anger afterward accidentally sets the bed on fire. needless to say that kid probably won't stick with knighthood as a goal)

Rose Nocturia Once again i revisit the issue of magic providing the answer >.> Like Tiel is doing with the carpenter Don't you think that it's needlessly limiting to have magic and only magic? I suggested the Psionicist class because A) Magic is cool and all, but shouldn't be the only answer and B) That psionics allow for a (possibly) much more dynamic system, depending on how it's implemented.

Then the question isnt should it be a class it should be more of a question would it be allowed to be a class. Yes it would open up a variety of things but would the creater and the over seers want that happen? For me since i like to see the worse case sceneraio people would loose interst in the magic parts seeing how limiting it was. They would then move on to the psionics feeling they could do preety mutch Cause eartquakes shoot water and cast firebals all with the power of mind. THings there mages couldn't do and then if you were to say only a select few could be psyionic there would be an upheavel of unfairness. Ofcourse thats the wrost case scenario

Well, even thought it sounds cool, this RP is ruled by judgement, not a random machine that takes probabilities, so it could give a psionist/god modder unlimited power, if no one tries to oppose their judgement. So, I have to side with Rose on this. Now, when it comes to controlling non-humans, and even NPCs, I might agree with this a lot more. So, maybe that could be the catch. No player characters can be controlled. *shrugs*
