[QUOTE="DreamChaser, post: 2262368, member: 1190"] I actually don't agree with the "minimum encounters" idea; not as it seems others are using it. Seems like most people are saying encounters when they mean combats. Everything in D&D is an encounter. A psion who wants to be useful should have powers that will be useful in encounters with traps, with social situations, with puzzles, with combat etc. I run very few traditional combats but I have never had a game with fewer than 10 encounters on a meaninful day. If your game is purely combat driven, then you should have minimum combats otherwise, what else are you doing. If you run a mixed game, make sure that psionic characters will regret only taking combat powers. If you never give a psionic character a reason to use their powers until the single fight agaisnt the BBEG at the end of the day, then it is your own fault that they have 100% of their PP left. Two solutions are: keep in mind that there are other things psionics can be used for (perhaps require players to choose some powers that are non-combat oriented) or make the BBEG stronger.
