Message: <blockquote data-quote="Belzbet" data-source="post: 5866337" data-attributes="member: 6678902">As most familiar with psionic characters know one of the biggest mechanical differences between psion casting and wizard/sorc/druid/etc. casting is that psions can manifest powers at a higher Caster Level than the power originally allows if they increase the amount of power points spent to manifest it (essentially that means they must make the power a higher level power, to do 5d6 damage with energy ray you must use an extra 4 more PP, for a total of 5 PP, the normal amount of PP needed to manifest a 3rd level power).Wizards instead cast spells at a fixed CL equal to their CL (usually). This normally doesnt seem to be a problem until after 20 CL (where wizards damage spells are usually capped at doing 20dX and psions can increase their damage die to their manifester level (or any other variable based on ML that is usually capped for other spellcasters). There is an epic feat that cures this: Enhance spell. But you need to keep on taking the feat every 10CL or so if you want to do your CL in damage die.My question is this: Would it be a good idea to give regular casters enhance spell as a bonus feat (on top of any other bonus feats they may gain) every 10 levels above 20th (so for every 10 levels of wizard/druid/cleric/maybe a spellcasting  PrC/ you take above 20th you gain one count of enhance spell; it seems that in a high level epic game a psion may be a better choice since you dont have to sink so many feats into enhance spell).  Are there other factors that we should take into consideration (about psionic vs magic) before allowing non-psionic casters this privilege?</blockquote>
