Actually a 16th level Psionic could achieve divinity. My argument isn't flawed it's factual. My friend actually wrote WotC and showed him what he had done. All they could do is say mechanically that is 100% right, but morally it wasn't. And what I want you to do is i want you to make a Wizard that is capable of killing every deity in the 3rd edition books. There was a tiny flaw in Psionics that my friend found and made the entire system of Psionics broken beyond anything out there. It's really funny how just because you assume you are right that automatically makes me wrong. From the information that I have I know for a fact that you are the one that is flawed with your argument. Ever hear of Pun Pun? By level 4 (it might have been 6) he had every spell there was, indefinitely high ability scores, and infinite divine rank. Spoiler: he didn't use psionics.

From the information that I have I know for a fact that you are the one that is flawed with your argument. And your going to complain about a single flaw at 16th level? You realize that wizards could achieve divinity at level 1? Or the dozens upon dozens of over-powered flaws in the core magic system, in both divine and arcane magic?
Edit:They got Pun-Pun down to level 1 GhostStepper. Using wizard I do beleive

The fact was, there were multiple ways that non-psionic casters could get divine rank long before 16. This is why there are so many versions of Pun-Pun.

Matter of fact, it occurs to me that if you reicarnated the apprentice character rules from 3.0, you could have a level 0 Pun-Pun. . .

It's really funny how just because you assume you are right that automatically makes me wrong. From the information that I have I know for a fact that you are the one that is flawed with your argument. Lol, "you are the one with the flawed argument". That's your riposte?
You provide no details, no facts, just a story about "Yuh-huh! I know a guy who did it!"
You have yet to provide actual facts, so your claim about your story being factual is baseless, and flat out untrue.
For example, you said 16th level psionic. Psionic what? Psychic Warrior? Soulknife? Wilder? Was he a Psion? What discipline? What powers/feats/Prestige Class did "your friend" use? You have provided no facts and thus your argument is not factual.
In other words: Prove it.
You claim that there was a "tiny flaw" that made the "entire system" broken beyong measure? What flaw exactly would this be? Are you perhaps referring to the psionics/magic non-transparency OPTIONAL rule that basically means if a character or creature is not itself psionic it has no defenses to psionics? That's not core, buddy.
Furthermore, actual ACHIEVEMENT of divine rank was something SOLELY handed out by the DM. A wizard, psion, whatever, can reach level 45 and NOT be a deity. A Demigod could be level 21. Divine rank is not a factor of level. And no one without a divine rank can kill a deity. You have to have divine rank yourself to permanently kill a deity, or be using something specifically that has the power to kill a god (such as the Crescent Blade in the WotSQ series). Without a divine rank, you could concieveably reduce a deity to 0 hp, but destroy him/her? No.
As usual, you ignore facts to make blanket statements and impossibly wild and outrageous claims unsupported by any evidence, and say "I'm right, and you are the one who is wrong".
This is the kind of immaturity and nonsense that you are criticized for on these forums.
That and your constant complaining about 4e, horrible misuse of syntax, and forum name that implies a drow fanboi.

I disagree, the animus is just life and instinct, the soul is what seperates humans from ghouls, it's what gives us true thought.
I'm thinking Primal power is more related to the animus(or at least the animus of earth), Martial is related to the body and Psionics are related to the soul.
Also, we should be careful not to confuse old Psionics with 4E Pisonics, we don't know that much about new Psionics. No the soul is what seperates sentient living beings from nonsentient living beings(animals). What seperates sentient living beings from ghouls is a soul and a natural animus.
I will agree that primal has a strong connection with animuses, but the connection is with the animus of the world itself not with the animus present inside the player character himself. The same kind of connection can be said to exist with divine characters and the souls of the gods.
And I'll be sure not to confuse old psionics with 4E psionics.....which will be easy since the only thing I remember about the old psionics is ooze and crystals. What I meant was the majority of stereotypical psionic abilities such as telekinesis, telepathy, and mind control fit better with the animus as the base rather than the soul. I'd even say that the monk they presented makes more sense as being a person who draws power from controlling their animus rather than a person who controls their soul.

You know...if they couldn't make four classes for Ki then maybe we'll see another Psionic class with a very 'Ki' feeling to it. Two Ki classes and two Psychic class to form the new Psionic power source...
I still say the name should be changed but I guess I just don't have enough experience with Psionics.
I love Horseshoecrabfolk.
What I love most about them is that they seem to be the one thing that we all can agree on.

True. Though we might see more of the 'Ki' flavor (i.e. using focus to affect one own's body) in the defender than in the Controller and Leader who might end up with more of the 'Psychic' flavor (i.e. using focus to affect the world around one's self).

See, now i took an even saner route and banned clerics/druids/wizards but allowed psionics.  That's Atheism. A world without God Classes, and without Classes that worship Gods.
