Psionics is more balanced than anything else.Your ability to discern the inner thought processes of other people is amazing.And here all this time I thought Psions are imbalanced because they are imbalanced. I had no clue that I was actually prejudiced against psionics and was really subconsciously thinking that Psions are imbalanced because they are psionic in nature.So, many people who thinks that Psions are imbalanced are doing so because their campaign favors certain other classes?Uh huh. None of us can think for ourselves now. We complain about Psions because of how our campaigns are set up. Right.Guess you haven't read about Wild Surges or Overchanneling.Generally speaking, when a person is having a major balance problem, it is because they are using their brains.If Psions were truly balanced, then you'd be seeing a lot of experienced gamers and knowledgeable rules people here supporting your position.But, you will not see that because many of the people here, especially the people who have actually had psions in their gaming sessions, are capable of understanding abuse when they see it.Oh, you mean like Burrowing Power through a Telekinetic Sphere were very few enemies can affect you?Or, buffing yourself to have a higher AC by 5 or 10 or even more than any other PC in the party can do? My 10th level Psion could get her AC up into the high 30s if she wanted and she held off the BBEG monster by herself on multiple occasions while the rest of the PCs regrouped or ran away. Most enemies needed to roll a 20 to hit her.Or getting the equivalent of an unlimited use Rod of Metamagic Energy Substitution (all energies, or 3 such rods with one energy type each, depending on how you look at it) with ALL of your Energy powers?Or time powers at low to mid level as opposed to high level for everyone else?Don't get me wrong. There are imbalances in core rules and the Complete books as well (e.g. Spell Channeling for Spellsword), but they are fewer and further between than in the XPH.</blockquote>
