[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2729996, member: 2011"] Sorry, I was unclear with the word choose. S9 handles what you just demonstrated, I just did not break it down for each level. P6 is about: Psion 1st level – 3 2nd level – 5 3rd level – 52 4th level – 54 5th level – 542 6th level – 544 7th level – 5442 8th level – 5444 9th level – 54442 10th level – 54444 11th level – 544441 12th level – 544443 13th level – 5444431 14th level – 5444433 15th level – 54444331 16th level – 54444333 17th level – 544443331 18th level – 544443333 19th level – 544443334 20th level – 544443336 Sorcerer 1st level – 2 2nd level – 2 3rd level – 3 4th level – 31 5th level – 42 6th level – 421 7th level – 532 8th level – 5321 9th level – 5432 10th level – 54321 11th level – 55432 12th level – 554321 13th level – 554432 14th level – 5544321 15th level – 5544432 16th level – 55444321 17th level – 55444332 18th level – 554443321 19th level – 554443332 20th level – 554443333 At every level, the Psion has more powers in his list than the Sorcerer has in his list (without counting the dinky 0th level spells). For example, at level 10, the Psion has 21 powers (more if he took Expanded Knowledge). The Sorcerer has 15 spells at level 10. S5 is about the fact that the Sorcerer can cast more spells per day than the Psion can manifest powers (assuming the Psion does not cast all 1 PP powers) except in the level ranges 2 through 7 where the Psion can manifest slightly more. I changed the wording of S5 to hopefully make it more clear. [/QUOTE]
