Message: <blockquote data-quote="(Psi)SeveredHead" data-source="post: 2992305" data-attributes="member: 1165">The stealthy manifesting is poorly explained. I think a psion manifesting a power would be obvious, in the sense that they're concentrating on something. If they manifest a Charm power, maybe no one would notice. But if they manifest Recall Death, people will look suspiciously at them.Seeing how you have to pay for extra damage dice, I disagree.I agree it's way too flexible when it comes to selecting energy types. I disagree with the damage limit, however. The power point cap - no more power points can be spent on a power than your manifester level - still applies.Hmmm... maybe I should agree with this one.I disagree with this one, though. (And an AC of 30 isnt' that great at 17th-level anyway.) There are better Mage Armor spells. I think Mage Armor should have had scaling (or higher level versions should have been included) in the core rules. So I blame Mage Armor for this one.I agree that 1d10 per power point is excessive. I don't agree on the damage limit.I think the Mind's Eye version (basically 3 temporary hit points per manifester level) was more blanaced than 5/level. Vigor doesn't last nearly as long as False Life. I don't think it's fair to compare it.This one could have been Will negates. I don't see a need for a cap per se, but maybe it scales too well.It's also a single target power (at least, single target without augmentation). I don't think this power needs to be changed.Maybe.No.EM needs more change than that.No.Fix the save DC issue, and maybe nerf the Electricity variant. I don't think the damage dice need to be capped.Doesn't need that cap. It has an ML cap.Probably right on this one. The amount of damage dealt is pretty small, though.    I'd forgotten this one.Doesn't need the cap, but might be overpowered compared to Call Lightning.I don't like this one. It's like Phantasmal Killer ... but I never liked that spell. But on that note, Phantasmal Killer is a save or die 4th-level spell.It's a 5th-level cleric spell, and a Seer special from 2e.Nope.That's not a good way to fix it. That's a penalty rather than a limit. You can't force the psion to roll a "one".    Maybe. I need to use this one more.No need. Metacap applies. Doesn't need the multiple energy types. I only recall one power like that from 2e, and it didn't do great damage.No need. Metacap applies.Well, I disagree on the damage dice cap, because of the lack of free scaling. If psions had something like free scaling, then such caps would make more sense.I think the biggest offender on the list is Disintegrate and other save-or-die powers.</blockquote>
