Could someone please explain to me why wizards are considered to be so much more powerful at level 20 than psions are? I understand that they have manay more high level spells but other than that is there any reason? The way I look at it, i think Psions have the edge at this level if the DM...

So to those who think it is overpowered, how is it any different than the Illthid Slayer in XPH? The look identical

I haven't been playing 3.5 for too long but I'm a little confused with your post. How does the vancian system or the spell point system even matter for casters since their spells are based off of spell slots anyways?

I read a few time in this forum and another that the Slayer PrC class from the SRD is overpowered. Why is this? And why is this one overpowered but the Illthid Slayer from the XPH is not?

Good suggestions so far. As for 4th level powers I would recommend: Energy Ball: As a kineticist you have access to this and it take Energy Missile to the next level. Great because the range is longer than EM and it has a huge blast radius. Dimension Door: As a manifester/caster, something...

Can a character use two shields at the same time? If he's not using a weapon and his main goal max defense, could someone use two shields and get the full AC bonus for each?

Unfortunately there aren't too many good PrC's for psions. I've never been a big fan of either psion uncarnate or cerebmancer due to the lost levels. Have you looked at either the Slayer or the Thrallherd? You only loose 1 level with the slayer but gain d8 hit dice, proficiency with all...

I was wondering, if my sorcerer was being grappled could I use Dimension Door to escape (assuming I made my concentration check to cast the spell)? From reading the spell it sounds like it acts as a teleport, but the name suggests a door pops up and you walk through it.

A favorite tactic of my wizard is to cast levitate at the beginning of a battle so I can avoid danger from any melee attackers. Iwas wondering, instead of just being stuck going up and down, is there any way to move horizontally wile levitating? I was thinking that if I summoned a flying...

Nevermind, I just found this in another thread: Immediate Action: Much like a swift action, an immediate action consumes a very small amount of time, but represents a larger expenditure of effort and energy than a free action. However, unlike a swift action, an immediate action can be performed...

What does being flatfooted have to do with it? If the character was psionically focussed (which you should be if you're at the beginning of the encounter) then being flat footed shouldn't matter. The power is an immediate action, it can be used whenever. Can anyone else confirm if this is...

If I were a DM I would pit him against a mage with the Maximize Spell feat. That effectively makes the power useless because the damage is no longer variable, it's now fixed, so Damp has no effect on it.

I was wondering, what do you think about using Ectoplasmic Coccoon on yourself as a defensive strategy? If you're ever in trouble just cast it on yourself and you are essentially protected from all physical attacks. The coccoon has decent hardness and hit points to where it should hold up for...

Can a living construct, say a Warforged, use Cure Light Wounds (or the psionic equivalent Body Adjustment) to heal damage? If not, what spell/power can heal them?

If a 7th level psion manifests Metamorphosis on himself to turn into a 7 headed hydra how many attacks per round would her get? Does he attack as he normally would or does he gain the benefit of the extra heads of the hydra. What BAB does he use, his own or the hydras?

So it seems like everyone is in agreement that Energy Missile deals full damage to each target. Does anyone disagree with this?

Thanks Thanee, that's what I thought as well. I have been using it like that until last night when my DM read the description and had a different interpretation of it. He specifically pointed out the following line: "You release a powerful missile of energy of the chosen type at your foe" He...

Here is the description of the power from the SRD: Energy Missile Psychokinesis [see text] Level: Kineticist 2 Display: Auditory Manifesting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./ level) Targets: Up to five creatures or objects; no two targets can be more than 15 ft. apart...

Other than those listed in XPH, CP, and the WotC website, what PrC's are available for psionic characters? The only ones I've managed to find are the Iron Mind from Races of Stone and Wonderworker from Book of Exalted Deeds. Has anyone found any others?

I play an Erudite and Ego Whip is definitely one of my staple powers. I can't believe it hasn't been nerfed yet. Not really too great if you're fighting multiple foes (that's what I use Energy Missile for) but anytime my group fights one large moster i can usually drop him in a few rounds with...
