Psions can manifest plenty powers at a lower than their maximum level, that will have useful and appropriate effects for their level. They don't need to manifest their damaging powers (which are probably some of the most level-dependant powers) at full level, since they deal more damage than comparable spells on average, for example, and that's without taking resistances into account (just using cold or fire damage).Some powers, of course, pretty much need to be augmented to the max to be useful.Spellcasters cannot cast spells at their full level all day long either. In fact, when they only use their fully effective spells (the highest 2 spell levels usually, since the spells below that usually have a lower cap and thus also cannot make use of their full caster level), they run out of those really, really quick (even quicker than Psions run out of power points).At about 10th level, for example, a Magic Missile just isn't that great anymore. It's still good, though. Let the Psion manifest some power for 3-5 PP and there's also a decent effect, not the best they can do, but still good (easily better than the Magic Missile). At that level they have something like ~120 PP total, so they can do that *a lot*.Even if they go full power all the time, they have 12 powers per day, which is not that few. 3 per encounter, if you go by the 4 encounters per day guideline.ByeThanee</blockquote>
