    Why Psionics is broken and what to do to fix it

    You're not being arrogent; your character is in fact above the average quality of the rest of your party. You've simply taken good feats/powers/spells. Your character is so above average that the difference in power has become obvious. And there's a big difference between a rules lawyer and a...

    Why Psionics is broken and what to do to fix it

    @wildstarsreach: Another thing to add to the Psion list is difficulty using metapsionic feats. You have to expend focus to use them, so unless you spend 2 more feats you can only use 1 on any given power. Also, you have to regain your focus, so unless you spend another feat you can only use a...

    Why Psionics is broken and what to do to fix it

    As has been stated several times, the problem you're having is that you have a well built character in a group of people who are of average builds. It sounds as if though you simply know the system better then the rest, and that's a powerful factor in the hands of a caster. All of you are...

    Why Psionics is broken and what to do to fix it

    The Divine Minion is just one of several ways to achieve the build. And upon finding the thread (just found a way to search those forums) I see that Divine Minion is iffy because it's very obviously cheese. The legality of it revolves around DM fiat. I finally (re)found an old post I've been...

    Going Nova: This thread from the Psionics forums details how a wizard (with sufficient non-core material) can nova for an average of 72,819 damage. In a single round. And it ignores energy resistance. I think a core+Faerun only build still nets you over half of the effect...

    Why Psionics is broken and what to do to fix it

    Actually, the rest of your party is far from optimized. Most of your melee characters are toting a +4 weapon at best. Those same melee characters are also multiclassed with semi-melee classes. You have a Cleric/RSoP and an Artificier in your group. As I and Marcus Smythe have stated, if...

    Why Psionics is broken and what to do to fix it

    I'm confused. If you're spending 50% plus of your PP, how are you keeping up for the 3-5 encounters you said your DM throws at you? And how are you putting 17pp into Vigor? As a 17th level Cerebremancer your highest ML should be 14. If you're using Overchannel are you taking into account the...

    Why Psionics is broken and what to do to fix it

    @wildstarsreach: Someone did a very good job of pointing out to you just why psionic powers don't need effect caps and why adding those caps would not help the system any. I'd also like to point out that you keep comparing Psion damage dealing ability to that of a Wizard, but neglect to...
