While it does muck about with the theoretical ebb and flow of Psionic Energy (Psi Dice), keep in mind it only lasts a minute and they only get one free use per short rest. If they spend the Psychic Focus on it, that's one more use, but at the cost of several Noetics no longer being usable until the next short rest (when they'll be able to gain Focus again), since several abilities are keyed towards spending Focus. Though I'm not entirely fond of that from a design perspective. Rather than giving you a bunch of different options/abilites like for the other classes, it's saying "once per rest you can do one cool thing, ever" and most Noetics just seem to be giving you other options that you can spend your "one cool thing" on. For some of them it feels like it would have been simpler/easier to give the option of spending 1 or 2 psi dice to activate the effect.Given that the Thymokineticist is given the Blaster power as it's thematic power, it has the potential to fizzle out pretty quickly especially at lower levels given you have have to spend a psi die for each die of damage and each target. Unfettered Emotions helps mitigate that for certain combats, and each time you spend two psi dice to recharge the power your pool is diminishing down. I don't think trying to forcibly burn through all the Esper's reservoir through combat is necessary since some powers for their utility will need an augmented to have a bigger impact. Though it does kinda throw me for a loop that in the Psionics section in the Esper class seems to dictate that Augments are to be selected before taking the Manifest action, but the language in some powers, such as the Astral Body power, seems to indicate that the augments can be used after Manifestations Still working on giving a deep dive through the book but I'm enjoying what I'm reading.</blockquote>
