Among other things, you mention earthquake, cure disease, control weather. As I said in my response to, well, you, even cure disease is a rare commodity in Eberron. A lot of your issues are addressed by limiting the existence of high-level magic. I have more trouble with saying "Wizards are extremely common and yet have had no effect on anything!" than "Wizards are rare but have had some impact on the world!". But of course, I'm basing my opinions on what I've read, and maybe I'm wrong. We'll see in a few months. But as *I* said, the races in Eberron that comprise the psionic culture *are* extraplanar -- IE, alien -- in nature. And while the races in the May books are alien, they are basically attractive humans -- a far cry from mind flayers. Psionics are specifically not in the mainstream, they are given a sensible, defined place on the edge of the world. If you like psionics, you've got a solid foundation for using them. If you don't, stay out of Sarlona and don't use kalashtar PCs. In Athas, psionics are EVERYWHERE; in Eberron, they are in a specific part of the world. Anyhow, clearly we aren't going to come to an agreement here. I understand where you're coming from -- I just see things differently.</blockquote>
