[QUOTE="drothgery, post: 2019349, member: 360"] A lot of powers in the XPH are augmentable; you can spend more power points to get a bigger effect (more damage, more targets, longer duration, etc.) within certain limits. And there's nothing keeping you from spending all you power points on your highest-level powers or fully-augmented lower-level powers (this is usually the most effective thing to do, in fact). So even more than wizards and sorcerers, the fewer serious encounters per day, the more deadly they are. I'm running a kineticist (tk-specialist psion) right now; he's the most effective character in the party in dealing out damage... until he runs out of power points, and is stuck relying on items (a few well-chosen power stones [psionic scrolls] or dorjes [psionic wands] can help a lot).
