minor creation vs minor creation

[astrerouge]

While looking for idea for a future character,I noticed something that I find quite odd,minor creation is fourth level and the psionic version is first,why is that?

I can understand that the psionic version is reserved to a specialist but having at first level instead of seventh?I don't understand and I am posting here trying to understand this phenomena.

Thanks in advance!

Clearly it's because Psions aren't strong enough, so being able to dump 937 doses of black lotus extract at level one alleviates that.:smallcool:

Honestly, I'm not sure. Of course, if you're going to be a shaper, grab those craft(alchemy) ranks, poisons can be made at -4.

Well,I wasn't going for psionic,in fact in wanted to try a factotum and while searching for useful spell,I saw that minor creation was fourth and this rang a bell in my mind since I opened my expanded psionic handbook yesterday and I then check and saw the gap in level between psionic and arcane.

BTW,thanks for the quick answer

If your Factotum, you can grab a weapon enchantment from underdark (IIRC) that lets you have your gnomish quickrazors deal double poison damage. If you're thinking of using Minor Creation for poisons, which you should be if not good, check out the arsenic and old lace handbook: http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=4854.0

Additionally, if you wanna cheese, gnomish quickrazors are light weapons, so shurikens can morph into them. Always fun.
