[QUOTE="Tikiman, post: 3003155, member: 43159"] You're not being arrogent; your character is in fact above the average quality of the rest of your party. You've simply taken good feats/powers/spells. Your character is so above average that the difference in power has become obvious. And there's a big difference between a rules lawyer and a min-maxer (no offence, I love being a min-maxer myself). In the future I would suggest steering away from solid classes. Try challenging yourself by playing something more iffy (like a monk, warlock, wilder, etc). I'm actually in the same position as you in my regular group, only they're unabashedly horrible when it comes to making characters. A memorable group we had contained a Half-orc Bard/Warmage, a Halfling Barbarian/Bard/Illusionist, a Warforged Warlock/Sorcerer, and me, a Halfing PsiWar. Despite taking nothing but Skill Focus: Craft (Cooking, Smithing, Gambling, etc.) for my feats I was still the most powerful character. Sometimes you just need to realize that your group is a little 'special', and adjust your playstyle accordingly. Taking Psychic Meditation is not going to help you at all. Well, it will help you trounce mobs in no time, but that's currently your problem. May I suggest Toughness instead? ;) And what exactly happens when you manifest with no displays is 100% a DM call. Even if your character isn't spewing ectoplasm out the wazoo, he's still standing there, staring at the target with a rather constipated look on his face. Spot/Sense Motive checks (opposed by your Bluff/Hide/Manifester Level) could be just what you need. Remeber, even if you have no displays, you still provoke attacks of opportunity. And spell like abilities are the same. No components, yet they provoke AoOs. [/QUOTE]
