The problem I'm seeing is that this doesn't actually solve any problems. In games where the psion normally doesn't run out of PP (1-2 encounter sessions) your system will have the psion paying more PP, but he still won't run out, so he'll still just pump out power after power. If there was a...

Complete Arcane has errata in it (weaponlike spells chiefly). How come you can ignore that but you can't ignore it when psionics does the same thing? Why do you have such a double standard for psionics and magic? And this doesn't change the fact that you are comparing XPH+non-core to core...

This I find interesting. When I basically told you to do this (I think my words were 'experience the system more before fixing it') it was interpreted as an assault on your person in the form of 'you say my opinion is invalid', followed by a prompt ignoring because it didn't agree with you...

Yeah, but my insult had a smiley face at the end of it, so YOU started the fight. :p I'm telling mom! Well, it looks like you're on the road to fixing your own problem (yay), so now lets see how we can help. How exactly will you be running the psion out of PP? Have you seen the Psychic...

The other reason I'm the 'bad cop' is that I'm an 'implacable foe'. I like to address each and every point raised by someone, in detail, and I won't let anything slide. People often get mad when I read what they wrote better then they did. Why do I do this? Because I'm a teacher and I like...

Mwa ha ha ha. Actually, I already know what this guy's problem is, and the solution has been posted on this forum ad nausium. This is your entire problem, top to bottom, front to back, inside and out. This is either the DM's fault, or it's the Player's fault. Most likely your DM simply isn't...

I tried that here; and got the response; So when I do use smileys, even when talking to someone else, it is still taken as a direct assult on him. :\ Actually, you provided direct evidence for this assumption in the following; And I've got 5 pages to go if you want more. I really can't...

OK, I'm not at all trying to disprove you, or browbeat you, or anything like that, but I'm really confused now. The 40 (+lvl 1 int) powers that you automatically get to know must ALL come from the general psion/wilder list, so no Astral Construct, Energy Missile etc. Additional powers...

It's a house rule no matter which way you go. There are no rules for what happens when you manifest without displays other then you manifest without displays. The closest analogy, casting without components, imposes a -10 to opponents spellcraft checks but is in every other way 100% identical...

You're flaming me? I didn't notice that. *looks down at singed arm hair* Oh, THAT'S what that smell is. :D I sorta do. I've seen people pull off some pretty efficient novas. I basically use the two rules for two different purposes though (an abusable power for TA, metagaming for % cards)...

I'm not sure what you mean by this. An Erudite may learn as many Discipline powers as he wants, but he has to A) find someone with that power (or a stone), and B) pay 20xp/level to get access to it (as well as spending 8 hours in meditation). Or were you reffering to the non-core powers you...

May I give you a hug? How about a nice batch of cookies? :) Oh don't get me started on Forgotten Realms material. One of my players made an Elminster wanna-be once and I actually burned his character sheet right in front of him. Everyone else at the table said 'we told you so'. Actually...

I never follwed the polymorph errata very closely because I never use the spell (nor does it get used at my tables). Given that the build uses shapechage, and I can't see any relevant changes in the 3.5 PHB errata, I honestly don't have a clue how the build would be affected. However, the 2k...

Oh contraire. I have a houserule that where Temporal Acceleration costs 10xp per round you gain. And any material from a non-core book (even campaign books) is assumed to be broken until proven otherwise. I'll gladly go over this material if someone wants it, but it may very well end up...

Then I'd like to submit the idea that whatever you play, no matter what rules it uses, it will look overpowered in comparison to the rest of your party (who are not powergaming). When you play other casters with this group and powergame them, do they appear overpowered? Have you ever tried...
