[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 2998191, member: 478"] Hey, you asked what would be sufficient evidence to me, that the Psion class is not broken. I told you that. If you think it's impossible to create such evidence, then you probably realize why I am so strongly convinced of my opinion about this topic. :) I'm pretty much 100% convinced, that Sorcerer and Wizard are about equal (unless the playing style favors Wizards in some fashion, which some playing styles surely do); the Sorcerer is maybe [i]a little[/i] behind, because of the fewer options they have, but that's well within normal limits. I'm also 100% convinced, that the Psion is [i]way ahead[/i] of the Sorcerer. And this is something most people actually agree with. How do you come to that conclusion? That's most likely right, yep. Under the current circumstances, I see absolutely no reason to allow psionics (and thus create a lot of headaches). Flavorwise, which is the only reason to even think about adding them, they are not really needed, psionics can easily be done via spell-like abilities (i.e. MM 3.5 Mind Flayer) and simple flavor text/description. Noone's loss, really. Psionics add almost nothing new to a game. There's easily 90+% overlap with existing abilities. They can easily be left out and noone will ever notice the 'lack'. :) Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
