[QUOTE="Majere, post: 1750491, member: 13916"] If the thread kindly posted by droid allows me to complete the build I will hapily run average damage calculations againt 4 CR10 monster of my choice. Contrary to the post retorting my dea of running the numbers, I will not be rolling dice. I will take average damage and results. Infact I just had an even better Idea if Thane and one of the psion supporting posters are willing. Thane posts the most twinked out possible 10th level psion he can. One of the psi supporters post a twinked out 10th level sorcerer. Each poster is, of course, trying to prove their character is over powered. After they are built I will reveal the 4 monsters and each player may reveal their tactics (for instance I imagine neither person will wants to us fireballs on salamanders etc). Ill run the average damage caculations. and people can see how each fairs. This will allow the flexibility of powers in terms of picking element/save and dc heightening to be compared agaist the metamagic of sorcerers. If people are willing then basic rules are : 32 point build PHB, DMG, PSI-HB books only Average gold. Average damage will be taken including the effects of SR and saves. The reason I suggest this is: 1) Id have to learn the who psi rulebook to make a properly twinked psi. 2) Im at a hockey tournament so I dont have time to learn all the rules but I can do the number crunching no problem One other thought. The basic blasts of a kinetisist seem to be energy missile/ball/blast. Couldnt a psi pick another sepcialisation and then use extended knowledge to aquire these 3 spells nd have mucht he same kick as a kinetisist ? Would this be better than playing a kinetisist and using extended knowledge to increase your flexibility ? It would seem to me to be easier to pick up the majority of the blasts via feats than all the utility spells. Majere [/QUOTE]
