Thanks for the ideas, but in my game there are many instances where the PCs know a big baddie is alone or can isolate him/her/it. Plus, my players are smart and would definitely consider "hit and run" tactics to take out one big bad guy as a partial victory, then escape to safety to fight...

One of my players seems to have found a big way to exploit the psionics system. Here is the scenario: Assume you have a 12th-level psion (savant) with a 20 Con and 90 power points. Now assume that in one round the psion manifests psychofeedback for 7 pp, leaving 83 pp. The next round, the psion...

Well, that seems silly. That makes Quicken Spell effectively useless to a Sorcerer. Are you sure that one isn't an exception to the normal metamagic rule for sorcerers/bards?

So what happens when a sorcerer casts a spell with Quicken Spell? :D

Is manifesting a power with a metapsionic feat a full-round action, like a sorcerer casting a metamagiced spell?

If you look at the top, that's what I said at the beginning. The Cerebelith seemed extremely powerful for being able to use any one of its powers as a Quickened action each round for free, and also use Mind Trap and Psychic Bastion for free. Definitely seems a little unbalanced, so I guess I...

Ah! Thanks for the research, kreynolds. So does this mean that dkilgo is right, and a Cerebelith can use any of its psionic powers as a Quickened power every round?

Umm... so you're saying none of its feats can actually be used by it? No offense, but that doesn't make any sense... Can anyone else shead some light on the subject?

That's exactly what I was asking about. Is there errata that clears this up anywhere? I looked at the WotC Psi Handbook errata before posting here because I was afraid I was missing something obvious, but I didn't find anything. Am I the only one who got confused as to how creatures without PPs...

OK, but if the Cerebelith's powers were limited to one Quickened use each per day, that would be a lot less powerful. So which is it/should it be?

Then why wouldn't the Cerebelith have that instead of Quicken Power?

So does that mean a Blue that gained character levels to take Quicken Power could use it for free on any of his "at will" powers? Holy crap again!

I have a question regarding psionic creatures. Some creatures have feats (such as Mind Trap, Deep Impact, Psychic Bastion, etc.) that are activated by using power points, but the creatures themselves don't have any power points, just a number of psionic powers/attacks/defenses "at will". Does...

Does that mean the entire entry in TaB replaces the errata for the PHB too?

For example, does Polymorph Self allow you to switch forms every round? And is it a full-round action to change forms?

OK, one of my players just got the polymorph self spell, and I'm trying to deal with it. Apparently there are numerous errata and different versions for polymorph running around. Can someone please clarify for me the current (final?) details about how polymorph works? Thanks a lot!

I have a player who wants to role-play a half-celestial (half-human) character. With a little background, this fits fine into my campaign, so I want to allow it. But what ECL should I assign for being a half-celestial. They get a lot of cool powers, so I don't want the player to have an unfair...

Yes, but I'm confused. Isn't the caster level check to see if you can activate it? So if you fail... failure to activate is neither casting the spell nor a mishap (necessarily).

Suppose that a character fails to cast a spell from a scroll because the spell is higher level than them, and they fail their caster level check. If they avoid the mishap, I've always assumed that nothing bad happens, but the magic spell on the scroll is lost. However the DMG never says that the...
