Message: <blockquote data-quote="Suldarr'essalar" data-source="post: 2994153" data-attributes="member: 14947">:|Where's the problem? Take sorcerer for instance: He can do mostly the same, since his lower level spell slots will deal more damage (overall sorcerer has greater damage potential than psions). It's just another approach to flexibility. Whilst Sorcerer can use higher level spell slots for maxing damage, he still has lower level spell slots for extra damage, or utility powers, whereas psions don't. With augmenting powers you effectively use higher level slots to get the same effect as wizards/sorcerers using lower level slots. [irony]That's broken. Wizards and sorcerers should use higher level spell slots to get more damage! [/irony]Their damage-dealing powers can deal whatever energy is needed, cherry picking the target´s vulnerabilities.True, but on the other side psions know less powers than sorcerer spells. Not to mention Wilder with only 11 power known at 20th level. That's a lie. You need to refocus which takes an action (either full-round, or (blowing a feat) a move action, and requires concentration check; provokes AoO). Furthermore, without another 2 feats you cannot use 2 metapsionic feats the same round (anf if you do, you must refocus twice). There's also no instant metapsionics. Some of you say that a sorcerer/wizard must take 3 feats to get rid of components (still spell, silent spell, enshaw materials), psions must take 3 feats to use metapsionics (which is more important than lack of components overall) equally well (psionic meditation, psicrystal affinity and psicrystal containment). The only adventage of this is that psions can manifest quicken power (whilst sorcerers can't).Have you checked Complete Psionics?The same goes for any creature using spell-like abilities.It is a problem, but can be easily solved. Just like superman, create (or give) some metal (lead?) ability to negate psionics and you're home. :\ And you haven't heard of dispel magic/psionics?Just as if a wizard with one or two prestige classes couldn't do it better :|Really, the game, and psionic system was designed to have more than one battle each day. That way the player must hold his power and not use nova attacks on the first encounter. It's really that simple.</blockquote>
