[QUOTE="Zerovoid, post: 185173, member: 283"] I agree that psions are very broken. They get even fewer powers than sorcerors, making them very little fun to play at low levels. They get less power points than a wizard. There spells don't scale, so if you think white fire is good at 1st level, it will be completely useless by 5th. Unlike magic missile. Psionic combat is too weak to be effective, since will saves increase, but psions never get better at it. Those things are too weak. Mind blast is too powerful. It medium levels, it can effectively kill all the monsters in a fight, and the non-psionic buffer is more of a hinderance than a help. Alot of the telepathic powers are also too powerful, Mind Switch allows you to take someone's body, and then kill them in your body, thus gaining an unbalancing set of physical stats, unless the DM steps in. This should be more of a temporary thing like magic jar. My reccomendation is to play a telepath. Kind of weak to begin with, untlil they get Lesser Domination and Mindblast. From then on you will rock. Or, you get get If Thoughts Could Kill. It fixes alot of the underpoweredness of the psion class. And check out the Mind's Eye section of the WOTC website. There's some useful material there. [/QUOTE]
