As previously stated, each to their own. Having re-read that section I have come to the conclusion that we are both correct according to the Dungeon Master Guide. Although the Guide states that your methodology is more balanced, I also feel that it is more unrealistic. - Dungeon Masters...

I disagree with you on this point; my interpretation of the wordage suggests that you should roll three times, for each monster, if the monsters tablature states "Standard". I think it is dangerous for you to assume that they meant EL. Encounter Level is derived from Challenge Ratings, and the...

My apologies for not being clear - the psion would need to spend 20 power points to manifest the power twice - once to remove the minor globe of invulnerability, and a second time to dispel the buffs.

Are the PC's working for a sponsor? If so, they may need to spend some time raising funds on the sponsors behalf. Maybe they need to spend time speaking to the sponsors of the opposing NPC's in order to decrease the NPC spending capability, after all, an auction is usually about how much...

Fundamentally that is correct, however, it is recuperated by the wizard / sorcerer in their automatic scaling of their spells. Keep in mind that the psion is having to pay extra power points to obtain this enhanced effect. The example given previously, with the +20, would require, in this case...

Keep the following in mind, using your 11th level psion: He can use 11 power points in a single manifestation (barring the use of over-channel et al). If he manifests dispel psionics he expends 5 power points (the same as a 3rd level spell), and can dispel at 1d20+10. Should he chose to...

My view is that, if the creature is not molested by any outside force, it will be of the alignment described, as that is its fundemental makeup, the very essence of its stuff. However, as always, there is an exception to the rule - redemption (in the case of Evil creatures). However, as...
