It's been brought up a couple of times, seems to keep getting ignored. A 10th Wizards lightning bolt does 10d6 and uses a 3rd level slot. A Psion manifesting a 3rd level energy bolt does 5d6. He can increase the damage to 10d6 by spending more points on it. Also, there is no Heighten Power feat. So all of those heavily augmented low level powers are stopped by globe spells and are treated as low level powers verse turning or absorption.Oh, @wildstarsreachYou spent 126 power point just to buff up for a single encounter? How many encounters per day do you guys run. You should have about 230 (14th Psion with 28Int) power points and can only keep that up 1-2 times. You'll be pretty useless for the 3rd and 4th encounters for the day.4Psion/3Wiz/10Cerebremancer is < 17th PsionSure you gain a lot of low level spells, but you loose out on high level powers, points, feats, and augmentation limits (unless you have Practiced Manifester).P4/W3/C10 (228psp with 28Int)Gain Spells levels 1-7, 7,6,6,6,6,4,3,2Gain Scribe ScrollGain ability to use arcane wands/staves, scrollsHas 14 manifester levels and 13 caster levels (easily dispelled by a 17th caster)Taking Practiced Manifester does help, but uses a feat (not something this character has a lot of)P17 (326psp with 28 Int)Has 3 bonus Psionic/MetaPsionic featsHas 3 8th and 1 9th level powerHas 17th level Manifester levelThe dual caster or caster/manifester classes look good at first glance, but generally aren't as powerful as a straght caster or manifester.</blockquote>
