It's all about the buffing!My gut reaction is that they are 'more powerful' than a fighter under certain situations, weaker in others.They're at their best when they have their optimal amount of time to prepare and buff up... and also when the game does not have many encounters between rest stops.At higher levels, they can augment a lot of their powers to instantly activate them... which means they can fight and buff at the same time - this is a powerful ability, but burns through their power points at a very rapid pace!Once the points are gone (often enough a fight or two), they are a somewhat weak combatant, although not completely useless...Some strong combinations: Use feats that require you to discard the psionic focus. There is another feat which lets you regain this as a move action. There is a 2nd level power called hustle which lets you get an extra move action. There are also some nasty things you can do with the Lions Pounce power - which lets you full attack on a charge...IME, both are good, but certainly not gamebreakingly so.</blockquote>
