I wasn't so brilliant, I'm afraid. They're like Pearls of Powers, but a little more flexible.Thats no excuse to take out scaling though. True, there should have been some sort of scaling. Unfortunately, there wasn't. That's why people use ITCK and the Mind's Eye.The rest of your post basically says "Psions are TOO balanced! They are just as good as a Sorcerer, IFF they take this feat, that feat, use these rules, etc." Not very convincing I'm afraid.Same as just above. Instead of feats, they should have been class features. However, in the end it's the same thing. Sort of like the high-level rogues special class abilities. Not every rogue will use the same ones (although in practice, all take Improved Evasion).The Minds Eye? This isn't the House Rule forum. The Mind's Eye is official. You can find it here: <a href="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article1.asp?x=dnd/psi/welcome,3" target="_blank">http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article1.asp?x=dnd/psi/welcome,3</a>Note the <a href="http://www.wizard.com" target="_blank">www.wizard.com</a> bit at the start. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Mark Jindra has said that by the time the Mind's Eye ends, it will be bigger than the various classbooks released by Wizards. Since it's published by official Wizard's guys, it will also be better than most of the other classbooks (I'm sure the official Wizards guys never even looked sat Sword and Fist before it was published).If they hadn't screwed up in the 1st place there wouldn't be a need for all these patches.True, but they've admitted their mistake and are trying to fix it. I don't know whose fault it was, but I tend to blame WotC's deadline. Due to the unclarity of many of the published powers and the last minute "hey look, free scaling makes psions unbalanced", I think WotC should have let Bruce Cordell have more time. (Bruce Cordell's work in If Thoughts Could Kill was much clearer, when he had all the time he needed, so that's why I don't think Bruce was the problem.) I'm willing to wait (and even pay more) for quality.</blockquote>
