[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3130890, member: 22779"] But, Delta, that's only true if you use 4 APL=EL encounters. Since the DMG further states that there should be a fairly large portion of encounters that are either lower or higher EL's, then it stands to reason that the 4 encounters/day line doesn't really apply except in very specific circumstances. I know I'm not being terribly polite here, but, good grief, six years of 3e and people are STILL trotting this out? The 4/day line is a guideline at best. If you find psions too powerful for how your game is played, don't use them. I haven't had that problem, but, hey, that's fine. I accept that others do. BTW, if you think fighters can go 10 encounters in a day better than any other class, well, try it without a cleric. If a class is causing you difficulties, the very simplest answer is to not use that class. This is particularly easy when the class is non-core. Just say no. It just irks me to no end that people like to trot this out like it's on a macro or something as "proof" of how broken 3e is and how the 3e rules just don't work. However, it is always useful to actually read the manual before making sweeping statements. [/QUOTE]
