[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 3277226, member: 957"] Well, you've ignored the rest of my point. I disagree that Sudden Empower magnifies caster power, it just provides a different feat for a different effect. Yes, there is some broken stuff out there, but this feat is not one. That within WotC publications the equivalent effect is there is a fair point. But even if you stick to what is ultimately an arbitrary division then the much more significant arguement that this whole issue boils down to how disintegrate works remains. Not allowing the equivalent effect in a given campaign has no more effect of how balanced that effect is then, for example, not allowing the paladin in a campaign changing the core balance of that class. Save or take 33d6 is quite often no more effective than save or take 22d6. And both remain a minor nerfing of save or DIE. Ok, so that is two reasons this specific point on the psion isn't overpowered. [/QUOTE]
