A player in my group wants to play psionics all the time, which is fine
because I let them play whatever they want unless it makes them
overshadow everyone else. I haven't seen too much to make me think
these classes are overpowered (3.5 edition) but several of my players
have been complaining to me about how he outshines them in too many
ways. Maybe he is just putting his character together more
intelligently, I don't know. It does seem that he can deal out more raw
damage than the sorcerer, but then he taps himself faster too. He has
more hit points, yadda yadda, but it seems to me he is about like a bard
-- good at everything but not the best in anything. He is a kineticist
right now. I do admit the stunning stuff has gotten to be a small
problem (I've had to kiss single monster encounters goodbye), but
overall I don't find it unbalancing. I'm only asking here because now
two of my players (the rogue and the sorcerer) are threatening to drop
their old characters and play psionics only because they are so much
more powerful.
Any comments would be appreciated.
