[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 1749290, member: 707"] Not for me. Not to say I'm convinced psionics [i]are[/i] broken, but your post certainly didn't convince me otherwise. Why? Because a comparison that relies on 35 rounds of combat is nonsensical. IME, on average you can expect 3-4 combats a day, at 4 rounds or less each. That means 11-16 rounds of combat or so. And in that window, as your numbers showed, the psion is the clear leader. It's only after you factor in the theoretical rounds 17-35 that the sorcerer catches up. In terms of balance, only the practical matters to me. The theoretical proves nothing. What this thread would really benefit from would be a comparison similar to the one Scion and Elder-Basilisk gave us in the PsyWar vs. Fighter thread. Let each person who believes one guy is stronger do a full write up, then throw the contestants against 3 specific encounters and see how they do. Rate them separately for Versatility, Damage Dealing, etc. That thread taught me a heck of a lot about the two classes involved. [/QUOTE]
