And side by side they're of roughly equal power with a specific caveat: The Psion's powers have more oomph while the Esper is more reliant on using their bonus action to maintain damage parity.Which will lead to some situations where the Psion might be out of juice outside of Psychic Blast and the occasional Talent while the Esper gets to continue the class fantasy by wielding telekinesis in either hand to kind of do both.There's also the Psion's design choices of emotion/RP that play into the whole Light Side/Dark Side/Middle Path thing where the Esper is just like "Are you crazy? You just use your brain power to do things you don't have to be a dork about it."So yeah. They'll play side by side just fine if a little at odds in some ways and complimentary in others. Sort of like a Wizard and a Warlock. Both casters, both use arcane magic, but do it in slightly different ways.</blockquote>
