[QUOTE="steveroe, post: 617862, member: 9850"] I like the idea of replacing sorcerers with psions. I think the psion fits the flavor better of an innately magical character. I've played a sorcerer before in a campaign with a psion in the party. Both characters relied on scrolls or the psionic equivalent for some versatility and utility. Both had spontaneous casting. However, the sorcerer had more spells per day. The psion ran out of spells on several days. The sorcerer never did. So, aside from spells per day they were very similar. I think for the psion to be an attractive replacement for a sorcerer it needs a bit more oomph. I think the suggestions in 'if thoughts could kill' are very interesting. However, I have not seen these changes in play yet. So, I don' t know if they really solve the imbalance. I agree that taking out psi combat is a good idea. Replacing the attack/defense modes with feats and/or spells know also sounds very workable to me. In addition I would also try boosting power point progressions and choosing two secondary disciplines to key off the primary abilility stat, like 'if thoughts could kill.' Sadly, I'm not running a campaign at the moment. So, I will not be able to see how these changes work in actual game play for a while. If anyone has some game experience with this I'd love to hear about it. steve [/QUOTE]
