Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannyalcatraz" data-source="post: 3259612" data-attributes="member: 19675">For those who were concerned that psionics must be banned from their campaigns because its better than magic (I'm not to be numbered among them), this FAQ just gives them more ammo.Despite the vast number of spells available on the Sor/Wiz class lists, I'm more likely to find people on these boards complaining about how Psions & Wilders outdo those core classes despite having 1/4th the number of powers as the Sorcerers and Wizards have spells.However, between that little word "primarily" in the rules regarding Sorcerers (as well as the OA option of Sorcerers using the Wu Jen list) opening an interesting door for DMs & Players alike to look through, and the ability of a Wizard to learn, copy and add any spell in the game to his spellbook via Independent Research, neither of these 2 classes is likely to suffer significantly from having Extra Spell limiting their options to class lists only- its the lesser caster classes that will.Why?Expanded Knowledge is not limited to Psions.  Any psionic PC capable of manifesting powers can utilize this Feat.  A PsyWar, Lurk, or any other manifesting class can gain access to the "most broken" powers on the Psion list, greatly expanding their power.  As I recall, Energy Missile was among the most complained about on these boards.Meanwhile, the Bard composes his "Ode to Broken Game Balance" lamenting his inability to ever gain Magic Missile or Fireball.</blockquote>
