What is valid is based on or borne out by truth or fact."  By the definition of valid your opinion has little validity.  It is not based on well founded fact, it is based on a single biased experience that has been proven erroneous due to your powergaming.  Many things you have stated have not 'borne out'; they have been countered/refuted.My problem isn't with the fixes your proposing.  My problem is that you're proposing fixes to something just for sake of fixing it, not for the sake of actually solving any problems.  This is change for the sake of change.  How is what you're doing logical?<a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/opinion" target="_blank">Opinion</a>: "A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof."  Anyone can have an opinion, but opinions do not rely on facts or evidence.  Therefore it is highly illogical to base rules and fixes on mere opinion.  Lots of people are of the opinion that D&D is the tool of the Devil.  Does that mean it should be made illegal?Please explain to me how you can logically use your current experience with a non-psion, that you powergamed in a group of non-powergamers, as evidence that all of psionics is broken compared to all of magic.  I'm completely baffled as to how that works.How.  Where.  Please quote something I haven't addressed.Overpowered compared to your underpowered group that wants you to be overpowered?  Or overpowered compared to the entirety of what is possible for an arcane caster (like the 73k damage in one round wizard <a href="http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=471148" target="_blank">build</a>).  And is he overpowered because you just can't make a non-broken psionic character, or is he overpowered because you intentionally built him to be overpowered?And I love the fact that you're ignoring what your own DM posted.  He says there isn't a problem.  Is his opinion invalid?</blockquote>
