[QUOTE="Roland Delacroix, post: 232912, member: 1753"] Nice post (psi)severed, you have some valid points though i'm sure from past experience our opinions differ somewhat. As always, YMMV. You mentioned chain powers, thats reminds me. A great idea for Psions, and Sorcerers as well, is to allow them to 'upgrade' their powers along the chain, i don't think anyone has mentioned that. You basically let them replace lesser powers with better ones once the higher level slot opens. The new power has to refer to the old one though, something along the lines of [I]As Charm Person except...[/I] . This doesn't make psions much more powerfull but they don't get stuck with lame low level, low DC powers that suck. I did this about halfway through with my Telepath and Savant and it was very helpfull, and alot of fun getting to play with more powers. Hmm, totally forgot about Verbal, that is pretty nice in the right circumstances. Especially if the DM allows the common house rule that a Psion only needs to take Hide Power once and can apply it multiple times to any display. Interesting idea, if Control Sound stops casting would a similar Control Smell/Control Light stop olfactory and visible displays and render the power useless? Mages can wear that combo just as well, and i've seen it several times. I'm glad everyone is posting helpfull ideas instead of just yelling back and forth "Psions Suck! No They Don't!" like i've seen so many times before. [/QUOTE]
