[QUOTE="Wyvernhand, post: 5443034, member: 97681"] A lot of people reference the nova-ability of psionics. Most of the people who do don't understand the mechanics behind the two fundamental laws of psionics...THOU SHALT NOT SPEND MORE PP ON A POWER (metapsionics included) THAN THOU HAST MANIFESTER LEVELS! The other thing people don't realize is that metapsionics require you to expend your focus, so you can't stack them like metamagic! If you Twin a power, you can't also Empower it (well, you could if you had Psicrystal Containment, but you still couldn't do it two rounds in a row, and you spent 4 feats to do it). Plus, the power points you spend on metapsionics are points you aren't using to augment that power. So, sure it does 1.5x more damage, but its not at max dice like a spell would be. Yea, if you are abusing Scism or Syncronicity or especially Affinity Field, you can squeeze a bit more juice out per round, but you still have to follow the above two rules, which is a lot of investment. Thats still a pretty steep investment of resources to get an extra couple damage out. [/QUOTE]
