[QUOTE="Teslacoil1138, post: 1706660, member: 22768"] Well seeing as how my post was directly under yours, I thought it would be an indication of whose post I was referring to. But I'll be sure to quote every time in the future ;) True, clerics get up to 9th level spells and a lot of those are great, but that's balanced out by the 8 feats psychic warriors get. And one of the 6th level powers is the equivalent of an 8th level spell (personal mind blank) with the restriction that it's personal only. I think you'd agree that that's pretty damn powerful. Not to mention a psychic warrior can take Expanded Knowledge: Fiery Discorporation as one of their 8 bonus feats and cheat death without a level loss or anything. Or even Psionic Revivification to do the same to their party members, again with no loss of level. ;) The more I think about it, psions/psychic warriors are better at raising the dead than the cleric :p. You're forgetting (or ignoring) that psychic warriors can get their best buffs as swift actions. Clerics need Quicken Spell (and use their higher-level spell slots) to mimick that effect, otherwise they have to spend 3 turns buffing, compared to the psychic warrior who can buff and attack at the same time. Also, a cleric would need Extend Spell as well if he wanted his buffs to last for any significant amount of time. [/QUOTE]
