I hate to say that, Syberis... but it's not psionics being broken.
It's you, and the campaigns you have played in.
If a Wilder is getting more out of hand than a Druid or a Wizard, the only possible explenation is... that neither the Druid or the Wizard knows what he is doing or, responsably, are ignoring some of the more cost-effective spells and tactics.
When paired to such moral spellcasters, any half-decent egocentric Wilder can look "overpowered" and "untouchable", and with less effort too - the psionics system is quite easy, with comparatively less spell effects than arcane or divine magic (less material to sort throught).
So, maybe you overpowered a campaign - that's not enough to say a class is "broken".
That's enough to say that you have no restraint, while the people you are playing with you have (or, if they are giving their best shot, milking those classes for all their worth... they aren't really good at that).
That's why you are broken - you haven't fully understood the so-called "balance" of D&D.
You wouldn't know how to use a Wizard at the best - as no Wilder would ever outdo a Wizard of the same level.
Now, that's a good thing - your DM needn't ask you not to exceed the power level he's comfortable with.
But, unfortunately, before speaking of "broken" classes, you really should learn about what is broken and what isn't in the RPG system you are using.
If you want to learn up, and understand finally what's going on in the game, unbeknowst to you, you could try going to the Character Optimization boards, and ask how a Wizard could be "even more overpowered" than a Wilder.
The results could be bewildering.
What's you biggest gripe with the D&D rules?
Just give it up, he says its broken out of personap exp yet fails to give a solid examples on why so i say let him be and his ignorance shall be his own demise.WackyOne wrote:I hate to say that, Syberis... but it's not psionics being broken.
