[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1513294, member: 478"] By translating my game experience onto the subject. I'm pretty sure, that the psionic focus will be mostly annoying. Do you think psion players will pick up many feats, which require the expenditure of the focus? I don't. That's what I basically meant there. It just makes people stay away from those feats, which IMHO is a bad thing as it restricts character variability. No, obviously not. It was a comment in reply to that the table was derived from game experience, which I just highly doubt, given the nature of the table and how it omits the most important information (the manifester level at which the powers are manifested - if he just means unaugmented powers, than the information in the table is pretty much useless as well, because it won't be like this in actual play). It's the other way around, actually, I am making speculations based on observations. Well, I'm afraid, that's not going to happen. We've had enough with the updated 3.0 psion in our campaigns (and that's not purely my opinion). And it really doesn't need any tests to see the differences between psion and sorcerer. Not much else I'm stating here (except my clearly labeled opinion, that this is the XPH's fault more than the PHB's). Well, obviously. You just have to take a look at the scaling versus augmentation issues. The only thing, which can only really be seen in play is how my assumption, that spells and powers are roughly equal in power, is correct or in what direction it is shifted. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
