[QUOTE="Unkabear, post: 2902898, member: 39373"] If a player wants to powergame/munchkin he will. In my opinion Psionics can add a good flavor to any game. Be weary of a Kinetisist, aside from that encourage your player to have a balanced power list. And let them know that you will take executive right to remove any power of your choosing. Depending on your playstyle depends on if removing Energy Missle is on your board. hitting up to five monsters can be a great boon...but when there are fifty Orcs running at you it is just blowing pp to lower the numbers of the hoard to get to the Big monster that is the whole point of the encounter in the first place. And many powers have little combat value but great rp value. If you have a particularly munchkiny player watch out. But if you have someone that wants to give it a try then let them...you can always kill them off and ban Psionics if it doesn't work out. or better yet corrupt them and make them the BBEG of a particular story arc. Besides there is little difference between ectoplasmic constructs and summoning. positive and negative aspects to both. well worth the fun if you have a player that can stat things out before game time so as not to drag down the game to create a creature all the time.
