[QUOTE="DreamChaser, post: 2275755, member: 1190"] I see the point you're trying to make, but I don't agree that it is the egregious balance issue that you claim. Again, it is the point of the system. They have flexibility but not unmanagable levels of it. You can predict what they can do, it requires a full round to cast. It has a save and PR. But clearly, we disagree. I feel that Dominate is a powerful power but not unbalancingly so. Same with Energy Missile. But even for those who do feel that these 2 (TWO, Dos, Duex) or 5 (assuming there are others that have some issues), that is not a problem with psionics. That is a problem with those powers. I challenge someone to argue how psionics are unbalanced without bringing those powers into play. A system is unbalanced when it can be abused by the majority of the items within it, not when a few outstanding powers are abusable. Individual powers can be house ruled. Biocurrent was like that in 3.0 for me: absurdly over powered. I didn't throw out the system (until 3.5) I altered the power. DC [/QUOTE]
