[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 5125642, member: 2011"] I see the same issues that other see here, but I also see other aspects that bug me. A Psion gets Send Thoughts. The only advantage of this is range 20, otherwise, it's once per encounter. A Kalashtar gets Telepathy 5. Day in and day out telepathy. To me, it should be the other way around. If either is allowed to do it at will, it should be the Psion, not the Kalashtar. I'm not quite sure why WotC made Kalashtar so telepathically capable. He wasn't that telepathically capable in 3.5. Actually, neither class nor race should get Telepathy at will, just like other races or classes do not get Teleport or Invisibility or any other "old school DND higher level miscellaneous spells" at will. I also think that the spammable aspect is huge. Take a 3rd level Psion. He uses Mind Thrust Augment 1 up to 4 times. If he needs a 10 to hit and hits the first time (55% chance) and with a Cha mod of +3, he suddenly hits 70% of the time. At higher level, this will become more than 70% on later encounter attacks (75% at level 8, 80% at level 14, 90% at level 21 with some Epic Destinies, etc.) Like the nerf for Righteous Brand, this will be nerfed. So why the heck did they allow it in? It's a bit better than Righteous Brand because it allows everyone to get a bonus vs. Will (by lowering Will) as opposed to one ally getting the bonus vs. melee attack rolls. But mostly it's great because it can set up future Daily or other vs. Will powers for the Psion himself. The Psion hits on round one. He is now at +4 for his vs. Will Daily on round two. He again hits on round three. He is now at +4 for a different vs. Will Augment on round four, etc. I think that although the power point concept was interesting, the implementation will be fraught with errata. [/QUOTE]
