Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
Yeah, there are. The Psion has an advantage over the Wizard in short-term flexibility (most the energy powers, for instance, have selectable elements - and saves; Fort for cold (Evade This! - doesn't work so hot on Kibin, though), reflex for most).
The Wizard has an advantage over the Psion in long-term flexibility; the Wizard can "know" any number of spells (in the spellbook) and entirely change character from one day to the next. The Psion needs Psychic Reformation to do that... which costs XP.
Of course, the Psion is much less wealth-dependant than the Wizard (no Psionic power costs XP).
But a Wizard can do more total in a given day (due to free damage scaling - a 9th level Wizard's fireball does 9d6 damage for a 3rd level spell slot; a 9th level Psion needs to spend 9 power points to deal 9d6 damage with a simple power manifestation).
You can go back and forth for a while.
