[QUOTE="Spatzimaus, post: 837401, member: 3051"] That's not the same thing. Psychic Warriors get to pick three 3rd-level powers, from a short list of 8. Practically every single PW I've ever seen takes Claws of the Vampire, Displacement, and Improved Biofeedback. If you allow Mind's Eye, then Metaphysical Body can go on this short list for the Monk-style PWs. But that's just about it! Ubiquitous Vision? Can be useful, but in general not woth 5pp unless you KNOW you're fighting rogues. With the various speed-related Psionic Feats, it's easy to avoid being consistently flanked. Prowess? I practically always take Combat Reflexes anyway, and it still doesn't get around the 1/target limitation. Danger Sense? Meh. Way too limited to take, when you could get a more useful power like Displacement instead. Bite of the Tiger? Only if you didn't take Claws of the Vampire. Metaphysical Weapon? Only if you don't have a GMW caster in the party, AND it's one of only three Metacreativity (INT) powers on the entire list (the other two being Minor Creation (1) and Ectoplasmic Armor (5)), so most PWs won't bother raising INT enough to take this one. End result: the same 3 powers picked each time, with MAYBE one substitution depending on the individual character. Like you said, Improved Biofeedback and Displacement are staples, which makes it really unlikely you'd choose anything else. [/QUOTE]
