[QUOTE="nimisgod, post: 1557283, member: 10283"] My bad. I got confused with the light and heavy shields in the table. For a mage, a small difference in AC can mean the difference between life and death. I'm not saying that wiz/sorcs have to be armored like tanks, but each point of AC they have helps, if only against power attacking foes than anything else. Also, while the gap may look very small at first, with further enhancements to his armor, a psion can outstrip a wiz/sorc in AC. Or he can just manifest his augmented inertial armor. As for ACP, the long list of skills it hurts does not at all hinder the main profession of the wilder/psion which is manifesting. The exception, of course, is with touch/ranged touch spells. But there are enough auto hit spells with saves to make up the difference, the ratio being far better than spells with verbal components only compared to those with somatic components. I still don't think that it's a non-issue, but I, too, wonder why arcane casters are even penalized. ACP isn't as bad as it seems. Most likely, it's not the wiz/sorc doing all the athletic stuff. Encumberance isn't really a problem if the aforementioned mithral is involved. Even my 8 strength halfling sorcerer can carry mithral full plate (12.5 pounds). I don't really need to bring up any more evidence as this thread supplies that already. [/QUOTE]
