From what I understand, this is the case for RPGA play at least. I'm personally still confused by there being two "Axiomatic Strike" feats in 3.5 :)... In truth, you can really use any 3.0 material (converted or not) if you want in your game. Shouldn't make a lick of difference, since 3.5 and...

For spells, I'd wager that the spells are relatively equal (some are better situationally, some are worse situationally, ie, Psionic Domination is awkward at Concentration duration, Moment of Prescience is a bit odd too). The swift/immediate powers probably need to be contrasted against the...

Hehe, simply as, for a 20th level psion to get a 20th level manifester level, they only get 22 or 23 of those powers / day then [23 with torc, 22 without], versus the 24 from your example wizard; and still end up behind on some of the damage. As from 6th level on, there are damage spells that...

The DC scaling part is .. a bit awkward, however, as mentioned, it is not an 8th level power (for "attack purposes" it may well be), and would get splattered by Globes in the default setting as was mentioned earlier. Makes it awkward (and I kinda wish there were scaling caps ... like...

More or less used the psicrystal as an extension of self. (Resolve) It took too much in 3.0 to get the PsiCrystal to do anything besides "Hey you're Sighted, tell me what's around here".

Not sure on that. Their 1st level bonus feat replaces the "familiar". But do the psions get a encode stone at first automatically as well (ie, Scribe Scroll)? For the augmenting powers/etc you have to remember the psionics pp cap... The given example of the energy ball is only possible at...

Better question here is how many encounters does a 9th level character face that don't have DR/Magic piercing attacks. I suspect it may be a reasonable enough amount to warrant its use (At least in some campaigns). I understand both flavor (and balance) why they aren't adamantium resistance...

Nah I don't think it Psionic Medication is "too nice" or even required. The belief that it is, comes from the concept/application of 3.0 PsyWarriors (in my opinion). PsyWars are now more about their powers than their feats. Psions face a similar problem, going from MetaPsionic masters, to...

It was added to the SRD because it was a product line that would not recieve adventure/content support from Wizards beyond their web feature [and that they held all the rights to ], and alot of folks wanted it opened up [for psionic influenced adventures, for new psionic powers/abilities/etc]...

Erm.... I'd be real hesitant about that argument, because it really means that the average lifespan for characters in D&D is sitting at Adulthood :) (ie, under 35). The number you want to look for is the Expected Lifespan, as that shows how long a folk should be able to live, baring "The...

Well the reason I get is that they're lazy for the most part. They live longer so they're more flightly and have a more open childhood. Of course, I have no clue what it results with Drow...

It's an immediate action. Which means it uses up your swift action for the round. So yes, it is in fact, once per round.

Quite possibly, but then again, most wizard power builds in FR use sun elf too. Bonus PP and more uses for the rather ... large power pool than psions now have. Of course, I don't see them being chosen so often for Wilder :). I'd have to give it a try in game, but my "At-Glance" appraisal is...

Except that almost certainly the entirity of the XPH will not be placed into the SRD. Aside from the art, there are at good couple of instances which will be "off-limits" as product identity. Also, it would need to be the "contents from the SRD" + OGL license, which is not in the XPH...

D&D ninja is a much better version. Far more cinematic.

Hmm, if I had to give an LA, I'd probably stick with a +1, possibly a +2. To mirror the Encounter Challenge adjustment that is suggested in the write up for the Gestalt.

Well, the same can be said for pretty much any of the supplements, and it is a fair point (and why I kinda tried to stick to the core book for my examples). However, the statement that you can just 'disallow' it is an answer to pretty much 'all balance' issues with a given system. See Phase...

Just a comment about the ignores-magic-resistance. That's not the case anymore. At least by default. Can't please everyone :). I agree with ya :). I don't think folks need a real reason, either. And if they just said "it's a matter of opinion/taste" I'm ok :). And I think we're in the...

Actually, they used to link TO pages that converted from others systems to Palladium on their fan links page... Was even included in the bloody page title. Same pages were using art from the original source too. Was a bit ... bleh. On topic, well. Rifts isn't balanced. It's hard to play in...

[ Realization Disclaimer : Doh, me a bit off topic here, see above for my reasons why :). I do happen to agree with jb here as this is a reason some folks don't like psionics. I just don't happen to think it's 'the real reason' :). And I'm sorry if I seem a bit riled up over it :). ] And...
