psionicist question

[Akai]

I see that the psionicist prestige class lists as prerequisites 5 levels in Concentration and also the feat Iron Will. My character doesn't have these, yet the class isn't grayed out (looks like I can take it). Is it ok to take this class even if I don't have the prereqs?

This isn't any official team answer, but probably. A lot of people take one class in anything, then take Psionicist levels. I believe it was meant to be more like a main character class, but NWN doesn't give any easy way to implement new classes unless they are PrCs, so it had to be implemented as a PrC. To this effect, you can take more than 10 levels in it pre-epic, etc, which in other PrCs, you can't, and I think this is also the reason you can take it without meeting the Prerequisites these days..

The team may say otherwise though, so best to wait on an official answer. However, it's what I believe to be true

To the best that I can tell,the pre-req's were nixed,except the alighnment,so I'm going to say go ahead.

The CoPaP psionics system is based off the hak created by Mr. Nathan (posted on the NW Vault).

In it, the psionicist is treated as a prestige class that requires 5 ranks of Concentration and the Iron Will feat. While CoPaP has reworked most of this original hak, much of the text (power descriptions, class description, etc.) that you see in-game still remains the same.

What is the alignment restriction for Psions? Just wondering.
