[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 2719776, member: 16285"] My point was based on your statement that except for PCs psions were rare. That in and of itself makes things uneven. Sorry I can't give you any because I'm limited to what you supplied as examples of your game. Nope. No more so than including wizards and magic in a game if there are PC arcane casters in the party. A point to make though is that a properly handled Inspired (if using Eberron source material) should literally have kicked your characters' behinds. They are extremely powerful. They get extra pp (1/level) all of the quari's psi like and spell like abilities (except for ex and su ones) - they still add up a lot based on the "type" of quari sharing the Inspired's body. If the DM didn't do this he/she was doing you an injustice in presenting the true power of your opponent. If as you say that you weren't using psionics are different then you were using they are the same (or transparent) which means that a whole lot of magics would be very effective for countering things, dispel magic, protection spells, etc. You had already pointed out that the DM had messed up by allowing immediate actions even when flat-footed - so there is at least one data point to a (at least) weakly prepared DM. You didn't mention it but I would have hoped that your DM had using a std action psionic power generating AoO. [/QUOTE]
