Message: <blockquote data-quote="Psion" data-source="post: 1747350" data-attributes="member: 172">It means I feel you are deliberately trying to not get my points.I never said it did. But I don't feel like the advantages of the wizards breadth of spells and potential specialist advantages can be ignored, either (in fact, specialists are the primary reason I feel wizards have it all over sorcerers)Oh, please, Thanee. I am giving you the benefit of trusting that you actually beleive the psion to be overpowered. I just think you are making mountains out of molehills when it comes to evauting their comparative strengths. I agreed with earlier critics that the psion is underpowered (not the the degree that strutinian suggests, but still). They jazzed it up a bit, but I do not beleive it is to the degree I would call it overpowered. And experiences in actual play with psions bear this out IME.Heh... <a href="http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=12" target="_blank">http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=12</a> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Oh, undoubtedly. I am not saying lower level spells are the same potency as higher level spells.What I am saying is that those lower level spells are on par with lower level augmented powers that the psion will be paying the price of higher level powers for.See my response to said post for why I beleive your numbers have a lot of blind spots and miss points I have been making since I got involved with this time-slaughtering thread.Quick, write this down. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I'm not sure how to reply to that considering I consider spell focus underpowered.You do pay for it, though. Just as before. I think it could be significant to leverage some powers. Too useful? Hard to say. I'll leaning towards the side of "not" since animal affinity is a discipline power.But only with partial benefits of each. Some of the benefits that those feats give you -- mainly, lack of being noticed using a power/casting a spell -- are still a problem for psions.While that solves the full action annoyance, it still keeps you from using any other enhancements or feats that would require you to expend your focus.</blockquote>
