[QUOTE="Furby076, post: 7163922, member: 32161"] Sorry, i know this is chat you are having with someone else, but Psionic Blast is not a cantrip. It's a primary power (points 1-7). I agree it's a bit weird, and different that it's d8 auto hit and no save, but does that really make it broken? At 7 psi points that's 7d8 damage. This requires at least a level 9 mystic, which is the most powerful a mystic will ever get. A level 9 wizard casts 5th level spells. The below spells all have saves or attacks required, but do other things then just a one shot direct damage [LIST] [*]Bigbys hand: Clenched fist doing 4d8 damage, and can do it up to 10 times. Even if you only hit half the time, that's 20d8 damage. Then it has the other potential abilities with controlling factor [*]CLoudkill: Area effect dealing 5d8 poison, up to 10 times [*]Cone of cold: THe closest spell...8d8 damage in a cone [/LIST] SO the above all have saves, but they either impact more creatures, do more damage over time or have additional effects. Plus, they can be increased with better spell slots Can you link to this DM page of recommendations? THanks for the clarification, I'll take a look sometimes. Just time consuming since we have to read each class ability and each power to see if there are any changes. I don't agree with all of them, but hey, it's your game :) [/QUOTE]
