[QUOTE="zoroaster100, post: 916163, member: 8538"] Don't get me wrong, I know psions were underpowered if you use them straight out of the Psionics Handbook. But it seemed strange all the other psion powers are below the equivalent level wizard/sorcerer powers in terms of pure damage, except for this power which has the same average damage as the equivalent wizard spell (both mass concussion and ice storm do 17.5 average damage). The problem is that if it's out of whack with other psion powers, then fixes applied overall to psion damaging powers, such as the variant scaling damage rule, can make this power too powerful. Besides, it just seemed weird that a 7th level power in the concussion chain (True Concussion) would have a Fort save for half damage and only does 13d4 to one opponent, but this fourth level power skips the Fort save AND is an area effect spell.
