If you do not like how I post, don't respond to me.Pot calling the kettle black there two???And I explained it multiple times in this thread, but you obviously cannot be bothered to actually read it.Because it is smarter to not focus on armor. Course, even with my explanations and the fact that my psion does extremely well in combat, you still refuse to see the obvious.Open your mind up to other possibilities than armor.My psion has a Strength of 14 and can do Animal Affinity to get her Str to 18 and uses Psionic Meditation and Psionic Weapon. THAT is why she is using a Greatsword. With just using Psionic Meditation and Psionic Weapon, she does 4D6+5 points of damage (without bumping up her Strength). How many Fighters do you know that consistently do 4D6+5 points of damage at 8th level?Plus, my psion can boost her AC up to 38 if she so desires. Why would she want to be bothered with wasting her money on mithral armor?And that is why I also gave an example from the Fighter/Psion in our group as well.I think a psion wearing armor and using a shield without another class that grants the appropriate feats is what is atypical here. Not a psion who does not have the feats wearing armor. That's dumb and not "typical". Personally, I think your suggestion here is lame.And I have answered it multiple times and you have ignored the answer multiple times.It is stupid for a mid to high level psion to wear armor unless they have another class or a prestige class that gives them the armor feats. It is not an advantage, it is a disadvantage to wear armor without the appropriate feats.Inertial Armor and Force Screen gives them a higher AC boost than magical armor and shield ever could. For an average of less than 2 PP per combat, a psion can get AC 18 from 1 PP Inertial Armor and 1 PP Force Screen and do BETTER encumbrance-wise than your example of +2 Mithral Chain Shirt and +2 Mithral Buckler for a whopping 10,000+ GP.Plus, psions only have D4 hit points and cannot stand toe to toe with combatant types and monsters unless their AC is higher than combatant types.Sure, a Fighter can have a lower AC and survive because he has cool combat feats and high hit points.A Psion cannot.</blockquote>
