[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2992641, member: 29014"] You aren't fixing what the anti-psionics folks find to be the problem, though. It would be like taking away Survival and Spot as class skills of the Barbarian to appease someone who said "Barbarians are too strong at fighting". Your example of Twin Power is actually a bad choice on the part of the Psion (sheer augmentation beats out Twin Power at level 11, since 11d6 > 2 5d6s) Actually, it isn't. You say it's not and then misdirect away to a different issue without explaining this statement. It proves, most likely, that you either don't understand or are choosing to ignore the opportunity cost inherent in the power point system and are too caught up on 'but it's a 1st level power that can do high damage' to see that it doesn't matter if it's a 1st level power or a 9th level power if it costs the same number of PP to manifest. There are many ways to attempt to fix psionics to appease the psi-haters. Limiting the energy attacks to one energy as you suggest is one of them. Creating those arbitrary caps is not. It does not weaken Psions at all except insomuch as the blasters are forced to spend more powers known on attack powers. [/QUOTE]
