The psion should get something considering the loss of spell power when compared to a wizard or sorcerer. Augments fill that in nicely.Just using the class tables (not including bonus spells or PPs based on ability scores) the psion gets 343 points of powers*Wizards get 564*.Sorcerers get 726*.* This is a breakdown of spells into equivalent PPs and uses the Single target Max Damage cap found in the DMG for a 20th level caster. Example, a second level wizard spell costs 3 PPs to cast, and has free damage scaling up to 10 dice (+7pp for free) for a total of 10 points. Note, my math skills are horrid, so while I hope these numbers are correct, they should certainly be close.When compaired to a wizard a sorcerer gives up infinite spells known, 4 bonus feats, (a free)scribe scroll, and a level lag in learning the next level of spells ---for--- 162 spell points worth of spells and spontanious casting.When compaired to a wizard a psion gives up infinite spells known, and 221 spell points worth of powers ---for--- spontanious casting, augmentable powers, and a discipline.When compaired to a sorcerer, a psion has gives up 383 spellpoints, and a familiar ---for--- 4 bonus feats, augmentable powers, a discipline, and no lag in spell/power leveledit: fixed bad math.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /></blockquote>
