[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 9770031, member: 6796468"] It's a thing. I don't actually care about that, though for a few simple reasons: 1) Bounded accuracy is pretty much a joke. 2) It would make the Psion hilariously inept at some stuff and really good at a few other things. 3) The skills you can do that with are pretty limited, and by gating "powers" behind Psion class features means you can't do a quickie Rogue Multiclass to break things. There are very few skills in the game you can get up into the ridiculous levels. Stealth is one of them, through [I]Pass Without Trace[/I]. But I can't imagine a Stealth-Based Psionic Power-Skill Check that does anything more egregious than make you invisible or something. Sure you'll be able to beat the 10+Perception of an Ancient Red Dragon to pull it off, but so can a level 3 Wizard so who cares? [/QUOTE]
