However, I think a big part of class design is about the ability to perform their powers reliably and consistently better than a non-specialist. For example, other characters can track using the Survival skill, but the Ranger has tools that allow them to do it more readily and naturally: Natural Explorer, Favored Enemy, Land's Stride, and Primeval Awareness. Similarly, an enchanting wizard can perform telekinesis and telepathy, but we would expect that a psion can do it better with greater reliability, versatility, etc. This is the trade-off for a psion not having the full gamut of spells to know and cast as a wizard.Let's be clear here: I can. You can't.</blockquote>
