[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7694599, member: 7006"] Well, you can't really compare an ability versus what level another class gets a similar ability in terms of balance. This is how they distinguish the classes from each other. Some abilities that one class gets really late are an important function of another class that gets it early. I mean, the Thief's 17th level ability allows him to take two turns during the first round of combat. Great. The Fighter got practically the same exact thing at [b]2nd[/b] level with Action Surge. They both get to take two Actions, but the only difference is the Fighter doesn't get the extra move and free object interaction, while instead getting to use it at any point they want during the combat. And these abilities are 15 levels apart from each other. So if they've determined Psionic Investigation is an important and baseline aspect of what a Mystic does, it makes all the sense in the world they would get it early compared to another class who might only tangentially have it be a part of what they do and who they are.
