[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9767664, member: 7006"] The one thing that they still haven't done is balance the Psion spell list to make all four of the Spell School-paired Psionic Disciplines each worth taking. After a quick count up (my numbers may be slightly off)... the number of spells from each pairing are as follows for the first three spell levels: BIOFEEDBACK (Necromancy/Transmutation): 1st [3] / 2nd [7] / 3rd [3] BOLSTERING PRECOGNITION (Abjuration/Divination): 1st [7] / 2nd [5] / 3rd [6] DESTRUCTIVE THOUGHTS (Conjuration/Evocation): 1st [3] / 2nd [1] / 3rd [2] ID INSINUATION (Enchantment/Illusion): 1st [7] / 2nd [14] / 3rd [4] So that's 13 spells for Necro/Trans, 18 spells for Abj/Div, 6! spells for Conj/Evo, and 25!!!!! spells for Ench/Illus. Why would ANYONE take Destructive Thoughts as a Discipline when it applies to I think only THREE of the six spells that are on the Psion spell list for Conjuration/Evocation (with the other three not requiring saving throws)? Talk about throwing away a Discipline slot, LOL! I guess my Survey answer that went over this imbalance did not garner that much attention or concern. Oh well! Every Psion can just take Id Insinuation, as that's the most useful of all of them. :D [/QUOTE]
