Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thanee" data-source="post: 1749747" data-attributes="member: 478">Yeah, if you simply add up spells known (including the almighty 0th level spells, which make up a considerable amount there (over 1/3 of the total) <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=";)" />) and compare them one-by-one to powers known... but this comparison is highly flawed.1) Because of the already mentioned 0th level spells, which can be ignored pretty much. Except for Detect Magic mostly, which the psion has to waste a single 1st level power on.2) Because a single power known is "worth" a lot more than a single spell known in most cases, since all the lesser and greater, or I, II, III, etc versions are already included. To be fair, this is partially (but not even close to fully) compensated by the sorcerers ability to swap out single spells every other level.3) Because a 10th level sorcerer knows exactly one 5th level spell, while a psion knows four (real) 5th level powers, plus all the lower level ones, which include higher level versions via augmentation, which will add another 8-10 to the tally for sure.Spell/Power Level | Sorcerer Spells Known | Psion Powers Known0th | 9 | - (1 - Detect Psionics)1st | 5 | 5 (4)2nd | 4 | 4+3rd | 3 | 4++4th | 2 | 4+++5th | 1 | 4++++That's how.ByeThanee</blockquote>
