[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1701302, member: 5777"] Where is that rolls eye smiley when it is needed? lol Anyway, fighters suck as written, someday they will get a much needed boost. Psychic warriors have some interesting options, but the hit to BAB and hp hurts their front line power. Given prep time the psychic warrior can beat down pretty well, with proper power selection. But they have a limited number of pp's and psionic feats took a pretty big hit making many of them much less useful. Quicken is highly underpowered no matter the version currently presented. Schism is nearly useless. Going by what the designer has said about it over on the wotc psionics board it can effectively do nothing anyway. It was confirmed that it cannot help gain focus, cannot hold a focus of its own, cannot place personal only spells on you, and if we go by the implications of what was said then it also cannot see and thus cannot target. After all of that I am not even sure if there is a use for it at all. But then, even with that you are assuming haste in 3.0 was broken. Which it was not, when used properly ;) Ahh well.. I havent gotten to see the new psychic warrior in action yet, I hope to at some point in order to really get a feel for it. If all it does is come across as equivalent to the fighter (slightly better with prep, worse without) then the poor guy is in some major trouble. [/QUOTE]
