[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 7967105, member: 63508"] I want a psion because because Mental abilities are one of the only ones both both broad enough to have multiple applications to adventuring life AND have enough natural restrictions that feel both organic and balanced. [LIST=1] [*]Telepathy [*]Telekinesis [*]Enchantments [*]Mental constructs [*]Limited energy creation [*]Emotional enhancement and suppresion [*]Biological enchantment and suppression [*]Projection into the Astral or mental plane [/LIST] Its more versatile than a pyromancer or an "acid mage" Its spell restrictions are more natural that a "psuedoChristian monster hunter priest" or "bookworm who can do everything but heal and bless/curse" And it's not a headache (pardon the joke) like other big theme classes like summoners and shapeshifters. Can the psion conjure a fireball? No. Fireballs are not mental. Can the psion make someone think they conjure a fireball? Sure, it would be psychic damage and not work of mindless enemies or enemies that know she's a psion. Can the psion raise zombies? No. That's necromancy. Can the psion rattle a pile of bones tomake it loke like a zombie? Sure, it'll be a very very low DC to recognize it's not a zombie. And it requires concentration. [/QUOTE]
