[QUOTE="kitoy, post: 1503891, member: 1819"] [b]Give the Psion a chance.[/b] All of your arguments are well thought out, almost too well thought out sometimes. What you're doing is pushing everything to the bleeding edge of possibility. I know that we all have or have had munchkins in our party who'll push the rules to the limit, but not everyone pushes everything to the edge every single game. My suggestion is that you run or play a few games with a psion in the party before you rush to judgement. Give the psion a chance to advance a few levels to see how they do, [B]in play[/B] , before coming to a final decision. You're making most of your arguments based on 10th and 20th level characters. Do you mostly play high level games? Do you start your characters at 1st level or do you start somewhere higher? We all know that the game is totally different at different levels, how do you think psions compare at lower levels? I personally think that the new XPH is great, a well balanced book with the rest of 3.5, but I haven't played with the new psionics rules for 20+ levels. I could be wrong and you could be right. :) I'm not saying you're wrong, I just think that you've jumped into the "I hate the XPH" pool with both feet without really giving it a chance. I know that you're scared that this book will ruin your game, but I believe that this product has been thoroughly playtested by the folks at WotC. Playtest it yourself and it may surprise you.
