[QUOTE="Kyamsil, post: 1594752, member: 2534"] Compare Energy Missile to Energy Ray and Energy Stun then: Energy Ray, 1st level... touch attack, no save (same as infinite DC), single target. Energy Missile, 2nd level... no attack needed, save with high DC, up to 5 targets. Energy Stun, 2nd level... 5' radius burst (smaller area, definitely less than 5 targets if not crowded of Tiny and smaller creatures), save with standard DC, 2 fewer d6. possibility of stun for 1 round with another save but only if failed the first one. So we have two powers of the same level (even if one is kineticist only). Against medium creatures, Energy Stun at the basic can deal 1d6 damage with save for half against 4 targets at most (extremely unlikely) and stun them if they fail a second save after failing the first one, while Energy Missile is capable of dealing each of them 3d6 damage. The difference is even greater the more you boost the save DC of Energy Missile when comparing them to Energy Ray and Energy Stun. [/QUOTE]
