[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 2268166, member: 478"] Yeah, I also wouldn't agree with that (speaking of the initial post of those threads only, I really don't want to read through dozens of pages of that silliness, if there are some actually reasonable posts, maybe somone can link to them?). The format of "Myth: This is broken" and then "Answer: No it's not, because you can fix it by changing it this way" is quite convincing, indeed... LOL Then adding completely silly arguments, like "sorcerers have more spells known than psions", makes it good for a laugh but little else. Sure, if you also think [i]Acid Splash[/i] is about the same power level as [i]Meteor Storm[/i], than you can probably say it's like that. :) And not to forget, that being able to choose between four energy types on the fly instead of just one is not better, because there are monsters out there, which resist each of them, so the obvious conclusion is, that you always choose the wrong one. Yep, then it's not an advantage at all. I can see that. :D Oh, and did you know, that [i]Energy Missile[/i]'s advantage of selectively targeting up to 5 targets for full damage each is balanced by the targets having to be within 15 ft.? No, really! I guess it balances the +1 DC per +1 PP on the fly as well. ;) Another nice one is, that fighters are pretty powerful with 20 combat encounters in a day (obviously), and because of that, it's balanced that psions are overpowered with 2 combat encounters a day. Because, yeah, 20 and 2 is about equally likely. ;) But thanks for the laugh, been a while since I saw them. :D Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
