One presumes Bulls Strength is among them.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Oh well.  Stunning is all mind blast does anyway, just use more power points if you want a longer duration or widen power if you want a bigger cone.


it's not an augmentable power, it's one round period.

My psionic blast says 'for every 2 additional power points you spend, the duration of the stun increases by 1 round.'  Let me go check out the errata.

Actually I was talking about cleric for spell buffs, so not animal affinity.  Bull Strength would be offset by other buffs I'm guessing the cleric is supposed to use, which I guess would be divine power, righteous might, divine shield, divine favor, greater magic armor/weapon.  Some of those spells have errata, and even without the errata I wouldn't say it makes you better than a fighter, just close.  The duration on most those spells is also pretty short, you can't just walk around with them.

only one way to resolve the balance issue. Make characters of various levels and have them duel it out tourney style

Didn't find any errata on psionic blast, but I haven't checked the boards yet.  Sometimes there is 'forthcoming' errata on the boards.

Not exactly a duel to the death, but I have a cleric and my brother has a fighter in the same campaign, and I've cast those spells before and my brother's character was still a better tank and could throw down more damage.
