[QUOTE="Davelozzi, post: 1369822, member: 771"] According to the SRD, these powers appear identical, unless I'm missing something: [i]Lesser Domination[/i] Telepathy (Cha) [Compulsion, Mind-Affecting, Language-Dependent] Level: Psion 3 Display: Me Manifestation Time: 1 action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: One humanoid of Medium-size or smaller Duration: 1 day/level Saving Throw: Will negates Power Resistance: Yes Power Points: 7 The manifester can control the actions of any humanoid of Medium-size or smaller with who the manifester shares a common language. The manifester establishes a telepathic link with the subject’s mind. The manifester can generally force the subject to perform as he or she desires, within the limits of the subject’s abilities. The manifester knows what the subject is experiencing but does not receive direct sensory input from him or her. Subjects resist this control, and those forced to take actions against their natures receive a new saving throw with a bonus of +1 to +4, depending on the type of action required. Obviously self-destructive orders are not carried out. Once control is established, the range at which it can be exercised is unlimited, as long as the manifester and subject are on the same plane. The manifester need not see the subject to control it. Protection from evil or a similar spell or power can prevent the manifester from exercising control or using the telepathic link while the subject is so warded, but it does not prevent the establishment of domination or negate it. [i]Domination[/i] Telepathy (Cha) [Compulsion, Mind-Affecting] Level: Psion 4 Display: Me Manifestation Time: 1 action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: One humanoid of Medium-size or smaller Duration: 1 day/level Saving Throw: Will negates Power Resistance: Yes Power Points: 7 The manifester can control the actions of any humanoid of Medium-size or smaller. The manifester establishes a telepathic link with the subject’s mind. If the manifester and the subject share a common language, the manifester can generally force the subject to perform as he or she desires, within the limits of the subject’s abilities. If no common language is shared, the manifester can only communicate basic commands. The manifester knows what the subject is experiencing but does not receive direct sensory input from him or her. Subjects resist this control, and those forced to take actions against their natures receive a new saving throw with a bonus of +1 to +4, depending on the type of action required. Obviously self-destructive orders are not carried out. Once control is established, the range at which it can be exercised is unlimited, as long as the manifester and subject are on the same plane. The manifester need not see the subject to control it. Protection from evil or a similar spell or power can prevent the manifester from exercising control or using the telepathic link while the subject is so warded, but it does not prevent the establishment of domination or negate it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I assume that this is an error, and it's my guess that the info above actually applies to [i]Domination[/i], not [i]Lesser Domination[/i].
