[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 2782581, member: 9254"] 1) and 6), sorta. The campaign has had psionics in it for some time. Two of the characters are working towards psionic classes (they have the wild talent feat) but neither can do anything with it right now. I dealt with the goofiness of 1e psionics (but what wasn't unbalanced about 1e?) and the complete lack of integration with 2e (dang unique mechanisms) and was hopeful about the PsiHb. I was a lot more hesitant about psionics after one-shots quickly showed some of the broken or easily abused powers. The psi-warrior build I made to see how bad it could be if one of the players went that route was just horrific. (I ended up using him as a bodyguard that in sparring sessions could wipe the floor with the party melees either individually or 3 on 1.) The XPH has far better balance and the powers still have flavor; all the more so that I'm mixing the XPH with an otherwise 3.0 campaign. It is harder to abuse (not impossible) without being nerfed. I'm quite pleased. [/QUOTE]
