[QUOTE="Diirk, post: 2267444, member: 14476"] I keep most stuff on my pack horse. In a pinch tho, survival can replace the trail rations, Create Water the waterskin and a blanket instead of a bedroll. You can do a few things to bring this weight down, including replacing the greatsword (which you aren't proficient with, anyway) with a shortspear. Or a quarterstaff if for some reason your 10 str psion [b]really[/b] needs a two handed weapon. If you get desperate there's always a weightless bag for your requirements. However even without, I think most people could make do with 43 pounds if they so desired. 2000gp for the initial armour/shield (+5 ac), then +2000 for 2 more ac, +6000 for another 2, etc. Its certainly a tradeoff, it depends on if you have powers you'd rather take than inertial armour/forcescreen or not. If you have the powers to spend I can see why many characters would prefer Inertial Armour to mithril chain; heck it even scales, something mage armour doesn't do. Force Screen on the other hand only lasts 1min/level. Meaning you either have to know that there's a fight about to start and cast it slightly in advance (something that doesn't happen in my games too often), or you have to cast it during combat. And frankly I'd much rather spend my time in combat casting offensive spells. Each round you spend buffing yourself is a round you aren't weakening the enemy. I'd rather have the majority of my defenses up all the time. A great many psionicist builds won't care about penalties to hit; its not exactly a class designed to wade into combat, and you don't even have to take many powers with ranged touch attacks. [/QUOTE]
