[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 233539, member: 478"] Actually Wizards get the best Silence spell in the game... Khelben's Suspended Silence! We have a Fighter 1/Psion 7 in our current campaign and he is not that bad. Psions get healing powers, which is pretty nice. Animal Affinity is a Sorcerer's dream! In the offense they lack considerably and their powers seem to be exhausted quickly. Even my Rogue 3/Wizard 5 can cast more spells per day than the Psion (unless he manifests only weak powers, of course). Mind Blast is horrible, we lowered the duration to 1d4 rounds + 1 round per 4 levels. Of course with the obscene DC's our Psion usually generates (like 8, including nonpsionic buffer ;)), it's not really that hard. ITCK and the accompanying updates to psionics (Scaling, PrC updates) are a must! While Psions are very similar to Sorcerers, I suppose the point is to make them different. Resembling Sorcerers won't work, since they can hardly live up to the raw power of the Sorcerer class. But with all those nifty things, that Psions get and Sorcerers don't - like Skills, weird psionic Feats, healing powers, Vigor!!!, etc. - it might be worthwhile. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
