[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 3806892, member: 16285"] Another factor that can be huge is the ranges of powers versus spells. There are very few powers that are long range and most (or more than spells) that are in the close range. So 1 shot and the bad guy is on you. Also the talent feat requires expenditure of the psionic focus - which unless you have psionic meditation it takes a full round to regain your focus. So in order to successfully overchannel a psion needs: Ovechannel feat Talented feat Psionic meditation (prereq - Wis 13, Con 7 ranks) And if you want to go the psionic shot route: Point blank shot Psionic shot (prereq, PBS) Greater Pasionic Shot (BAB +5) That is a lot of feats to spend (even if the psion gets a bonus feat at 1st and every 5th level afterwards) Oh and then there is psionc body (for the extra hit points) A lot of feats invested for doing a lot of damage at close (and maybe medium range).
