[QUOTE="Piratecat, post: 1184817, member: 2"] Gang, he isn't running into a room of bad guys mid-melee and activating the power; based on the explanatory post, he's systematically taking captured and helpless villagers and subjecting them to cold-blooded extermination while trying to mind seed them. Keeping morals and ethics out of the discussion, there's a big difference in terms of the actual play dynamic. For instance, you have to keep possibly affected subjects around for a few days (up to a week) to learn whether or not you were successful. How is this compatible with a typical dungeon raid? Frank, you think that psionic combat as written in the Psi Handbook is powerful? Now that's funny. :D Psionic combat is virtually always sub-optimal to manifesting actual powers, so I'd love to hear your rationale. Psionic combat is unbalanced, but on the really weak side of the equation. I'm also not sure where you're getting an "infinite army loop" from, since 7th lvl psions won't get this power for eight levels, but I may just be misunderstanding you. [/QUOTE]
