[QUOTE="Valor, post: 2995911, member: 43161"] Wildstarsearch could you please give us a break down of your party. By this I mean Class/prestige class, any really important feats or equipment. And General Attitudes and styles of play by your fellow PCs. With this information we can better understand why these other players feel outshined. While I tend to agree that spells or feats that give PCs extra actions are a BIG advantage and depending on how they are described they are rather unbalanced. With that said, why do you use them? If you know they are “broken” then why continue to use them. While I understand that Schism and Vigor can look really powerful, most times they are not. Sure one gives a player more hit point but there are spells that do the same. As for Schism. I have only recently started playing a Telepath and well it doesn’t even look like a tempting power to take. I mean sure cutting your brain up into two pieces and having each kick ass sounds cool, but at 6 lower manifester levels? That gives your already lower end power/spell character a real disadvantage. But if it is that big of a deal that the other PCs that Schism and other power like Temporal Acceleration, make it seem that you have an unfair advantage. Well why not just not use those powers? Pick other powers, there are SO many to chose from. While I will assume that your whole group is of the same caliber as you (you seem like a really smart person), then they should know that at levels like 17, that’s when casters really get to shine, it is their time…no questions about it. It almost sounds like they have a bigger problem with the fact that as a caster/manifester you are out doing them in damage, depending on their classes…this is…normal. Marcus Smythe has some very good point about how think get taken the wrong way. Also he is right about that as far as over powered goes…well you aint seem nothing yet. While I though we had a solem vow not to get the WotC boards involved in this…but since that door has been opened. Here is are a pair of links to two thread that might help you.
