I Can Kill You With My Brain: The Psion's Handbook
Discussion Thread This is the discussion thread for I Can Kill You With My Brain: The Psion's Handbook. The contents of handbook itself can be found on the Wizards Community Wiki and are linked below. The Psion's Handbook:
This is the place where people can discuss the ratings of various psion powers and feats, tactics for playing the psion class, interesting combinations and synergy, ideas for effective builds, or any other psion related topics. Although I've created and maintain the handbook, it is on the wiki so that can survive, should I someday not be able to continue updating it. Any feedback is welcome!

This is my first attempt at a handbook, so I'm going to be taking a slow and steady approach.
When I first heard that psionics was going to be part of the core rules in 4th edition I was pretty stoked. I've always loved the idea of psionics and the psion was my favorite class in 3rd edition, so I'm looking forward to checking it out in 4th. The fact that psionic guru Bruce Cordell did the mechanical design of the 4th edition psion gives me high hopes that controllers will no longer be considered the 'disposable' role.
Any feedback is welcome!

Please have a section where you seperate powers/effects/feats/items that give you a basic attack / ranged basic attack where you can use your RBA at-wills, separating them on the premise of weather or not you can augment them.
Getting an augmentable RBA is better than a non-augmentable RBA, the question is which types of things permit augmentation.
DPR King Candidates 3.0How much damage should I shoot for?
Show
You're fired : 1 Kills Per 5 Rounds = .2 KPR
Fair Striker : 2 Kills Per 5 Rounds = .4 KPR
Highly Optimized : 3 Kills Per 5 Rounds = .6 KPR
Nerfbat please : 4 Kills Per 5 Rounds = .8 KPR
It's OVER 9000!!!!!: 5 Kills Per 5 Rounds = 1+ KPR
DPR? KPR? KP4R? Bless you
Show
DPR = Damage Per round ~= Chance to hit * damage on a hit
KPR = Kills Per Round. 1 Kill = 8*Level+24 damage
= DPR/(8*level+24)
KPNR = Kills Per N Rounds. How many standards can you kill in N rounds?

Your avatar is so much a controller.

Getting an augmentable RBA is better than a non-augmentable RBA, the question is which types of things permit augmentation.
According to the augmentable keyword sidebar, it looks like any ranged basic attack has to be an at-will discipline that is unaugmented (and specifically says it can be used as a ranged basic attack). The disciplines mind thrust, mind break and psychic brand also say as much. Am I missing something? It seems like you have something specific in mind...
