No different with Psionics, it had about the same number as there were spells in that game.
[/QUOTE]That's because a CRPG is mainly combat-oriented, and a psionic really isn't. His skill is in avoiding combat or weakening foes in combat to aid his partymembers. We can't just remove all of a psionic's unprogrammable powers, because that'd remove about 90% of them. And what he'd be left with would make him like a weak thief/cleric. If not worse.
