If he's hasted he's doing 2 per round. If you play PaD, he's very effective against people with SR but not PR, and he probably has a lot of powers that your typical baddies lack immunities to.All that said, I wouldn't play a Psion. I do think their power are underwhelming. I haven't read If Thoughts Could Kill, but I would like to.I would appreciate it if you could let us know how whatever you come up with works in play, because I'm fiddling around with Psionics rules right now, and I wouldn't mind feedback from those who have done some tinkering. Players always blindside you with things you hadn't thought of, so it's best to be prepared.</blockquote>
