Non-Core Class Survivor: Round 15 (The Final 5)

[Arkhandus]

It's not cheating. As I said, I don't really like any of the non-psionic classes left at this point, though I least dislike the Duskblade of the current non-psionic crop. But I don't think the Psion and Psychic Warrior deserve all the hate being directed against them. They're the only classes left at this point that I actually like.

Re: Aexalon
Maybe because sorcerers have more raw power and access to more/better prestige classes? Maybe because there are a lot of cool additions and variants for sorcerers in numerous 3.5 books compared to the almost nonexistent additions and variants for psions? With errata for several of the powers that slipped through the initial editing, the psion isn't really more powerful than the sorcerer, generally. And there are STILL things that a psionic character can't do but an arcane caster CAN do. Besides, sorcerers are even more overpowered if you use books like Complete Arcane or Spell Compendium. Psionics gets hardly any support, so it doesn't have any equivalent additions of ever-more-powerful abilities. Complete Psionic instead had the errata for some XPH powers that had slipped through the editors' net the first time around.

Edit: Besides, it's not like the psion stands much chance of surviving this round anyway, by the looks of it.

DIE WARLOCK, DIE!!!!!

Why won't it DIE?

Then the scout.... The scout has to go.

I want the Beguiler back on the list!!

 

[Deuce Traveler]

*Agrees wholeheartedly*

Psion over Beguiler ...

*shakes head and walks away in disgust*

Agreed. There was only one sound reason I saw for knocking off the beguiler, and that was because someone said it was the class he was least familiar with.

 

[atom crash]

I vote psychic warrior off because frankly it deserves to go more than the others.

My prediction: the attempt at strategic voting will backfire in a big way and we'll actually be left with psychic warrior as the hands-down winner, as there's more overt hate for the other classes.

 

[Aexalon]

To put it as the Daleks would:

<Dalek Voice>
Psaaions are the supeeerior class!
Sorcerers are supeeerior in only one respect:
They are better at ... daaing!
</Dalek Voice>

Daleks rule ...

 

[Psion]

All pro-psionics coalition members: vote scout! Save the psion!

I'm not real fond of the scout.

But alas, I dislike the Warlock and Duskblade more.

Three poorly designed classes. I could really choose any of them.

I've been targeting the duskblade since poll 1. And it seems like it has a lot more credible chance to go now. I'm going to throw my weight against the duskblade. Buh-bye duskblade.

We already had rules for specialist wizards. Specialist wizards with spontaneous access to their whole list, sorcerer-like spells per day, good skills, and a suite of class abilities to boot?

It deserved to go. It should have gone much sooner.

Yep. Pretty much the same problem I have with the Dread Necromancer. I have been finding more and more power creep in products as of late.

Down to 5 and it's STILL THERE! Damn you Psion class, why wont you DIE? DIE! DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!

I don't mind psionics, but I don't particularly like the Psychic Warrior or Psion class, sadly. I've voted for the Psychic Warrior three or four times in a row now.
