[QUOTE="samb1230, post: 4649245, member: 82289"] At first blush ardent seems a bit underpowered, less powers, less power points, less selections, and the powers seem to be underpowered. But then I noticed that ardent does not have a 'max power level' on its chart. And it seems to imply that an ardent can pick any power as long as he has the power points to cast it. from complete psionics: "[an ardent] must be able to manifest the new power at the level she learned it. " This seems almost too good. Say if i had a egoist 3 with 17 wisdom (determines the max lvl ardent power you can pick) and I took one level in ardent with mental might mantle does that mean I can pick ultrablast as a lvl 4 character? As a plain psion I would need to get to lvl 14 and be a telepath and if this is true i could technecally get a lvl 7 power even sooner if intel bonus points were added in. Another way to read it is power points needed to manifest the new power must be equal or less than the ardent's class level, as the authors then would to explain in an example. This would make sense but seems to completely contradict the quoted sentance. [/QUOTE]
