ShadowRanger 11-24-04, 09:19 PM	there is a thread dealing with common misconceptions on the psionic board. And a fireball by a 5th level wizard is going to do 5d6 damage as well.
The Grinning Pint 11-24-04, 10:12 PM	And a fireball by a 5th level wizard is going to do 5d6 damage as well. In a 20ft radius explosion!
angryman 11-24-04, 10:14 PM	Are you being sarcastic or not. I really can't tell...
BlaineTog 11-24-04, 10:19 PM	The kinetecist is not broken. At all. Energy Missile can deal 3d6+3 points of damage to 5 targets, if (and only if) no two of those targets are more than 15 feet apart. Which should almost never happen. Clearly, you don't understand the XPH. I suggest playtesting it.
RatFlail OF DOOM!!!! 11-24-04, 10:25 PM	This is constantly argued. Kineticist are balanced. Energy cone 60ft radius. Say good bye to your allies unless you want to be in the front lines with your uber d4 hp... Plus youll probably notice after about 5 encounters you wont have any pp left.
The Grinning Pint 11-24-04, 10:29 PM	Say good bye to your allies. Hm.. Clever tool to destroy your pesky "teammates" without making it look like backstabbing! 'I was just using my energy cone! Its not my fault the entire party stands in front of me!''
Azual 11-24-04, 11:18 PM	your right, im sorry, i was kind of rushing this Psion, there was a new guy, decided on Psion, and we didnt ghet time to document the exact details of the Spells, i think its all in the Strategy of the cretures. :) To be fair, the Wizard has 10 more HP then the Psion (a meansely 17HP) but i DO think that i mean you can aim that sucker and take out EASILY half an army, alot more space then just a 20 ft spread. :cool: Necromancers STILL Rule
Azual 11-24-04, 11:20 PM	Hm.. Clever tool to destroy your pesky "teammates" without making it look like backstabbing! 'I was just using my energy cone! Its not my fault the entire party stands in front of me!'' that happened actually twice, but he decided to just use enegy missile that thing is like a SOOPED up Magic missile. THATS the unbalenced spell
BlaineTog 11-24-04, 11:25 PM	that thing is like a SOOPED up Magic missile.Hardly. Energy Missile deals energy damage (albeit you get to choose which type to deal), whereas Magic Missile deals Force. Energy Missile is 2nd level, Magic Missile is 1st. Any Sor/Wiz can pick up Magic Missile, only Kineticists can get Energy Missile. Energy Missile offers a save (albeit with a very high DC). And, like all powers, Energy Missle doesn't automatically scale.
Doomhawk 11-25-04, 02:53 AM	BlaineTog's right, Energy Missile is less like a scaled-up Magic Missile than it is a scaled-down Fireball. Except for the unusual augmentation DC thing, but it doesn't make a noticeable difference until quite high levels anyway, and by that point, blasting has become quite sub-par to the wizards who are throwing around instant death and the clerics with their spellcasting and super-buffs.
