[QUOTE="MatthewJHanson, post: 2597111, member: 13968"] I'm going to disagree with the previous two posters. The war mind has bugged me also. (I'd rather it didn't have the Knowledge (psionics) prereque so others can take it, but that's another story). The great thing about +1 manifester, is that they'll be balanced at some point. +1 at every level is obviously too powerful, but what if it only had a +1 at 10th level? That would obvioulsy be underpowered. So there must be some middle ground in between. I'd have a feeling its at six or seven +1 manifsters, and since I tend to err on the side of underpowered, I'd go for six levels. Let's compare two psychic warrior 5/warmind 10s, on RAW, and one with six +1 manfester levels. RAW 11 powers known (5 psyw, 6 war) Maximum power level know 5th 77 power points Manifester level 5/10 Cannot Improve warmind beyond Varient (as an 11th level psy) 11 powers known Maximum power level 4th 35 power points Manifester level 11 Futher improvements benifit all powers. I think it compares pretty well. Same number of powers known. One the con, varient has not quite as high a level powers known, and a major hit in power points. On the pro it has a better manifester level (especially nice for original psychic warrior powers) and it has the potential to keep improving after the maxing out in Warmind, which I think is a major bonus (more high level powers, including the possability of 6th level powers, something the RAW can't even hope of). This is all theoreticall of course, but I think six is a pretty good number, maybe something like 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 [/QUOTE]
