Question on manifester level after maxing out a PrC

[StreamOfTheSky]

well, most of the offensive/damage powers for psions can be augmented to be level appropriate as it is.

I mean, why manifest level 7 Ultrablast, which is a 15 foot radius power that does 13d6 when you can augment Energy Surge and do 13d6 in a 40 foot radius and you can choose your energy type (most creatures aren't immune/resistant to every form of energy.) Plus, you can get extra damage with Energy Surge by choosing Cold or Fire, or make it a tougher save with Electrical. Both powers are centered on the manifester. Unless you have allies that are 20-30 feet away and you worry about hitting them, Energy Surge is better.

I know there's augmentation, so it's not quite as bad as lower level spell access. But it's stil la sizable penalty. Damage powers tend to not get much better with level vs. augmenting, but other abilities that aren't available earlier levels do open up. from what you've said about the PrC, it sounds only marginalyl better than regular psion anyway. Until you post the exact details of what it gives, I'm going with the assumption that giving back his stunted psion advancement would be absolutely not broken. Besides, I thought oyu said the game isn't going on much longer, anyways. Even if it did turn out ot be overpowered, it wouldn't be an issue for long, right?
