Psionic Bias?

[The Vorpal Tribble]

This smells of the age-old psionic rule ignorance.

You can't spend more power points on a power than your manifester level.

You therefore cannot augment any power more than the highest level power you already know.

So you have a 7th level power (or augmented equivalent) and an Int of 20. A DC of 22 is the highest you can ever make it. With the right feat combinations you could possibly get it as high as DC 24.

That isn't exactly impressive, and certainly no more impressive than what any wizard can do.

Can the psion work more high leveled powers than a wizard? Yes, because he is basically burning half his low-leveled powers to fuel it. So after that, he's toast while a wizard could still teleport away, cleric heal himself, etc. It's a trade off.
