I allowed them in my 1st edition campaigns and liked them; I allowed them in my 2nd edition campaigns and were afraid they would outdo any wizard (especially the divination-like powers were too much for any mystery-based adventure, spoiling the suspense); the 3rd edition psionics are frightening.With the XPH, I almost changed my mind from liking them to loathing them. Looking at the might of a psionicist (or whatever they are called now), every power is much more powerful and multifunctional than any spell of a comparable level. And with the possibility of "overcharging" the individual powers I thought *bang*, that's it. Just as an example: the arcane constructs have much more hit points and abilities than a correponding monster summoned; Armor Class is much higher etc. The possibility to gain hit points per psionic feat is absurd! Why not allowing every fighter who takes a "fighter" feat to gain 5 hit points? Everybody's heart would ache just considering that possibility.Psionics are only for power mongers.Kind regards</blockquote>
