[QUOTE="Tikiman, post: 3006581, member: 43159"] @wildstarsreach; Did you completely miss the part of this thread where we determined that there wasn't a problem any more? If you didn't they why are you still so fixated on blaming the psion for a problem that doesn't exist? Did you completely miss the part of this thread where we showed you that your character was built much better then his comrads? And the part where you yourself said your friends [B]wanted[/B] it that way? If you didn't then why are you still trying to compare your character to your groupmates? They [B][U]want[/U][/B] to be less powerful then you, and have built there characters accordingly. Did you completely miss the part of this thread where we informed you that your character is 50% wizard, 50% psion? If you didn't then why are you still trying to pin all of your balance problems on...wait a minute, you don't actually HAVE any levels in Psion (unless you've taken more since what your DM posted). You've got 3 levels in a [U]non-core[/U] racial class, and then 10 levels in a prestige class (which people have agreed could be the problem). Are you trying to tell us that the last 2 levels you've taken in a psion are what is making you overpowered? [U]You do not have a psion.[/U] Let me repeat that. [B]You do not have a psion.[/B] You have cobbled together non-core material in a very potent fashion and created a character that is a league ahead of your groupmates (who [B]WANT[/B] him to be a league ahead). Do psionics a favor and try a XPH [I]only[/I] PsiWar, Wilder, or Psion before you start monkeying with the system. I'm sorry if this comes of as a bit of an attack, but we are reaching a point of true stupidity here. [U]Your own DM has told you there isn't a problem.[/U] [I]Your group members have told you there isn't a problem.[/I] Everyone is happy with your character, except you, and even then you only have a problem with half of him. Despite all of this you're still hell bent on blaming the XPH for what you as a player have done. Quit passing the buck and realize that your character is overpowered because [U]you made him that way[/U]. And when normal situations were polled across wildly disparate gaming styles, DM's, players, material allowed, etc, it was found that the psion was 5% behind the wizard. But, just like all other evidence that doesn't agree with you, you're just going to ignore it because anything that disagrees with you is obviously flawed in some fashion. I'm sorry Thanee, you're 100% correct. Your baseless opinion does have more validity in an argument then the opinions of hundreds of other gamers backed up by pages upon pages of evidence that has been gone over with a fine tooth comb by both supporters and detractors. I don't know how I could have ever disagreed with you. Again, sorry if this post is offensive, but we've gotten into broken record territory.
