Message: <blockquote data-quote="Perun" data-source="post: 1596605" data-attributes="member: 6037">Just last night, a player, whose psion is about to reach 5th level, told me about the 3rd-level powers he's considering taking.Naturally, I looked them through, to see what they were all about, and whether there are any issues I'd have to deal with.I was very unpleasantly surprised (to say the least) when I saw the augmentation for Dispel Psionics.Manifesting a fully augmented Dispel Psionics (10 PP), at 10th manifester level (meaning the manifester is a 10th-level psion), it gives a dispel check of 1d20+20. At 7th level, a wizard uses a 3rd-level spell, and gets a dispel check of d20+7, a psion uses an equivalent of a 4th-level power (7 PP) and gets his dispel check atd20+11. At 9th-level, the wizard is still using his 3rd-level spell, and has a dispel check of d20+9, while the psion expends 9 PP (the equivalent of a 5th-level power) and gets his dispel check at d20+15. Finally, at 11th level, the wizard uses Greated Dispel Magic, a 6th-level spell. One'd think that the situation will even out, or at least favour the wizard. Fat chance. Wizad is at d20+11, whereas the psion, using a lower-level equivalent power (level 5.5) gets the above mentioned d20+20.From that point on, the psion is at his max, while the it takes the wizard NINE levels to even things out.So, I've decided to make things a bit more even, and I'm cosidering replacing the original Augmentation entry with the following: "By spending 6 additional power points, your dispel check becomes d20 + your manifester level, maximum +20."Has anyone else house-ruled this power? I'm rather interested in other people's solutions.Regards.</blockquote>
