[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2268368, member: 2011"] I do not disagree with this. Balance and moderation in all things. You were making a case that doing ANY buffing in a combat is inferior. That is incorrect. Buffing has its place, just like attacking, flanking, healing, and a lot of other actions in combat. I also stated that my psion generally often does only one buff per combat, but you stated that even this was too much. I disagree. Let me give you a more reasonable "good idea". Let's have you pick whatever 8th level class you want to pick and I'll take my 8th level psion and you only attack while I attack or buff or heal myself or do whatever is appropriate to the situation and then let's see who wins the combat. Balance and moderation in all things Diirk. Not all offensive and not all defense. Do the psions you see played with armor "all the time" have the armor feats? In order for your statement here to be relevant to the conversation, it has to apply to psions who wear heavier armors and who do not have the feats. What powers do they have? What feats? It's ok to pretend to know what you are talking about, but generalities like "I see psions played with armour all the time" indicate that you do not actually play them yourself and hence are basing your experiences off of what you read, not what you yourself have done. I never said that. That is your own spin on what I said. I said that a psion that repeatedly blows through their PP in one or two combats and has no martial capability whatsoever will die unless the DM limits it to two combats per day. Try to at least be somewhat accurate in what you post, otherwise, you lose a lot of credibility around here. Read what people actually write, not what you at first glance think they write. If you do not read what people write and you disagree with them, of course you will think that they have a closed mind. But, the communication problem is not necessarily with the person who disagrees with you. [/QUOTE]
