The use of the word "assassin" implies someone hired to kill the target. Otherwise it would be some kind of thug and hence some other possibility exists like kidnapping and ransom - but you used the term assassin so I went with that.That makes sense but again I wasn't there nor have I talked to the DM and now this an assumption on your part.Using a paralytic poison vice a slow and painful one?Poor assumption on your part.All of my statements on actions by the assassin are based on what would the DM do if creating a character and situation. The DM creates a personality and character (i.e., race, class, skills, feats, etc.) then plays some initial role to set the scene then the DM works off of the players.This is why psionics are skewed in your game and thus have formed the obvious basis of your opinion.A PC psion in a psionics rare campaign is very powerful, like a PC wizard in a magic rare campaign is likewise very powerful.  Just a statement of fact.How about this?No need to engage in this one.I have to my credit written, cowritten and edited the BRCS (at Birthright.net) which brought the Birthright campaign setting into 3.0 and is now being upped to 3.5. It is "Official" and everything.  So, since you know nothing about my knowledge of balance and such - one heck of a statement I think.Not my arguement someone else's who  disagrees with you.Again one heck of a broad statement. I have never said that somethings in the psionics system aren't broken, just like some things in the magic system or most any part of D&D is not broken.I do however feel the system itself is fairly well balanced and psions as a class are as balanced as any other class - again everything depends on the circumstances and campaign.  I also believe that bards are a viable (and enjoyable) class but very dependent on circumstances for how "useful" they are.Maybe and maybe not. If the DM is allowing a player to play the only psion in the entire campaign or the only wizard in the campaign is that balanced? This is just an extreme comparison used to point out that the balance of most things are circumstantial and thus depend on the DM.</blockquote>
