I wouldn't mind too much if it tread somewhere between Warlord and Bard territory, because right now it really hasn't even left Warlord territory at all. Hopefully Psionic Power makes them their own class. I like the concept though.sylverfyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112122980494970596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342640173817458901.post-76326907076934141612010-02-25T18:25:16.759+01:002010-02-25T18:25:16.759+01:00I finally figured out the character concept for th...I finally figured out the character concept for the Ardent and now I want to play one. They're supposed to be all enlightened and revelatory and stuff, right? So for the Mantle of Clarity - Peter Gibbons from Office Space.

Assuming the Battlemind will be similar, the Psion is the only psychic caster in the entire Psionic power source! <br /><br />So far the only thing I like about the Ardent is that the mantle is essentially a close burst 5 aura, and reducing the risk of OAs in an area that large could potentially have a huge effect on party tactics. IMO it's probably stronger than any other single class feature that a leader gets straight out of the box, but it also probably won't make up for the rest of the class's shortcomings.<br /><br />If you're interesting, I also reviewed the Ardent on my blog, but I focused more on their AC issues than their at-will/augment issues: http://thechamberofmazarbuldnd.blogspot.com/2009/12/debut-ardent.htmlBrian Slabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05333048710667620592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342640173817458901.post-23119231911410384152009-12-17T15:43:49.144+01:002009-12-17T15:43:49.144+01:00What a disappointment.
