Finally, a role-playing use for all those minis with backbanners <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Actually, I don't think that's quite right. There are different goals for fighters and psi-warriors with gear as you can see by looking at our builds. A fighter's gear has to cover a lot of ground that a psi-warrior covers with his abilities. The ring of spell storing, aportive armor, and similar mechanics are the only way to give the fighter renewable "I need to crank it up to 11 in this fight" resources. Such things are less essential to a psi-warrior who blow his whole remaining power pool to crank his abilities up to 11 in a particularly tough fight. On the other hand, the psi-warrior wants gear like torcs of power preservation, cognizance crystals, etc. that augment his psionic powers. A fighter doesn't need that stuff. Similarly, the psi-warrior benefits more in combat from the standard of heroism since the psi-warrior will regularly be making concentration checks to regain psionic focus. So, while the fact that one set of gear may be better min-maxed than the other is immaterial, gear IS an essential part of the comparison.</blockquote>
