Concussion Blast

Honestly a Psion has the following damage spells as 2nd level
Energy Push
Energy Stun,
Recall Pain
Concussive Blast
and if Kietist- the broken Energy Missle -
If one of them is underpowered, just choose a different one.

Honestly a Psion has the following damage spells as 2nd.

That's not the issue though - it is an interesting discussion about the ins and outs of a power which has some neat advantages and weighing them up against the disadvantages, not a decision about which 2nd level power Jonny X needs to take when he gains a level.

Nicely said PS. So, what about these possible changes (in terms of balance):

1. Increasing the damage dice to d10 (I know I already suggested d8, but do you guys think this will push the envelope?)

2. Having what PS suggested and increase the number of targets every 2PP along with increasing + dice of damage. This may have the most interesting ramifications as it would directly compete with Energy Missle as a choice of spell. There has been much discussion on whether or not allowing EM to target more than 2 creatures w/o augmentation is acceptable and I'm sure most people agree that the DC should be +1/2PP spent (not the +1/1PP they mention in the book). With this modification, I wondering how well EM would fair...
