Talk:Mind Bullet (3.5e Power)

Strangely Low Powered

Compared with energy ray or crystal shard this is weirdly nerfed. It's force damage, sure, and I think it autohits but you're always doing single digits of damage for the vast majority of your game, and augmenting just barely increases the range, not really worth it. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 11:50, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

This could be fun as a swift action. -- The bluez in the dungeon (talk) 14:51, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

It's an autohit dealing force damage, it has nothing to do with energy ray. I increased the damage slightly on an augment. I disagree on making it as swift action, then it would just be used to deal more damage each round, accelerating the psionic power creep. If you compare it to concussion blast, it's 1/3rd of the cost for 5 to 8 damage vs 3.5. You'd need to augment CB twice in most cases (7 PP) to exceed mind bullet's damage on average. So it's already somewhat more powerful than established material, which isn't my goal anymore. The point of mind bullet is to be a low-cost power with damage that scales without ML and augmenting. --Leziad (talk) 17:28, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
