Well, a lot of your comments are rather unfair and closed minded. For example, the whole sleep charm such sorcerer crap, is not psionics. There are almost four hundred spells, some VERY similair to the wizard and sorcerer spells and almost one hundred that I can see might be vauglee familure but not really. I find the psionic a challenge, just like the kensai. YES they CAN be unbalancing, with a bad DM and power hungry players. But a while ago there was a post about the power hungry kensai and I gave a list of almost ten ways to easly dispatch of them. I do not believe any one class is more powerfull or weak than the other, rather I believe DMs are more powerfull or weak than each other. Now it is very easy to grab a claymore as a first level fighter and rip into a first level mage, who will cast burning hands or whatever first level spell they took and run away. Or, if you were that mage you could have ripped out with mage armor, or perhaps change self, and with a bit of role playing you could have a great AC for first level and mabye even beat the fighter one on one, or with the change self you could vanish into the crowd as simply another person, the possibilities are endless.

Now the difference between psionics and magics are great, for one magics come from another source, wether as a mage you draw it from rituals and objects to untap a certain chain reaction to get a desired effect, or the sorcerer who draws from energies within and around to create the same chain reaction and the same desired effect. WHERE AS psionics are things entierly from within the human body and mind. One takes the simple facts of phisics and knowledge of time and space and that little added umph of zen power and creates a chain reaction to gain a desired effect, in a sense yes magic and psionic are the same, just different means of getting there.

If you are arguing that the psionic is not a needed class, I argue then that the sorcerer is not needed for it is just another mage who we do not need.

Those who use the scapegoat of ˝its to powerfull of a class˝are simply running away from the fact that they can not use the class and are unfamilur with its rules and regulations.

Then again, thats just my opinion, I could be wrong.
