[QUOTE="Droid101, post: 1749318, member: 942"] It might be hard to even convince me of this. The psion will be able to deal more damage in that first encounter, but the sorcerer will haste his party, break the enchantment of the cleric who go turned to stone, cast fly on everyone, etc. His spells may go further in winning the encounter than damage alone. I think all the arguments come down to this: what style of play the DM runs. One boss fight and rest every day means most likely, the psion will outshine everyone else (unless they are immune to spells/psionics entirely). Many encounters in a day, or encounters that take 10 rounds or more, and unless carefully planned, the psion will run out of steam. A little later, the sorcerer will too. If you're going to use psionics you're going to use them. I don't see them as overpowered at all. And I have run a campaign from 1st to 21st level (see: Story hour). No problems. No PC psions, but plenty of enemy ones (of appropriate challenge level) and the PCs don't even blink. So, again, it boils down to DM style. Argh! This argument is so circular that you could roll it down a hill. [/QUOTE]
