[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 957564, member: 5834"] [b]re[/b] The Psionic Blast was more of a "pushing over the edge" reason to ban psionics. I am not a big fan of psionics in fantasy campaigns because I feel they are redundant with magic also in the campaign. Bruce Cordell really needs to go out of his way to make sure there are no psionic powers that are killer power. In 2e, ID insinutation was the power that made me ban psionics. A no save attack mode that stunned an opponent for 1d4 rounds with a low Power Point cost that worked on just about any creature. It wasn't going to happen. I don't care how cool Bruce thinks it is, it is not cool as a DM for game breaker powers that low level characters can use to make it in the game. I believe one of the molecular powers was also this way. You could break any type of material quite easily even if it was an powerful magical sword. I can't remember the specifics, but I recall this being another power that made me cringe. [/QUOTE]
