[QUOTE="Selganor, post: 9228944, member: 1135"] It's getting serious... I might actually get to play an Esper soon. When creating the character I found a few things not 100% obvious: 1. Psionic Focus: Do you have to chose which discipline you are focusing when you are taking the feature or when gaining the Focus? Follow up: Do you have to know a power of the specific discipline? (Someone might just want to have the specific benefit without actually having the discipline) 2. Since the "Mind Strike" seems to be something like the Cantrip for the Esper... can an Esper use a Mind Strike if he gets an Attack by a Marshal's Commanding Presence (or similar effect)? 3. If you Ready a manifestation, I assume that (like spells) you already manifest the effect and then keep it "ready", requiring concentration. Since that would "destroy" a Psychic Focus, could the readied effect (maybe only if it is of the discipline of your focus) be "parked" in the focus, only overwriting the benefit of the focus until the readied effect is released? 4. Follow up to Ready: I'm guessing you roll any augmentation dice the moment you get the effect ready and not when you actually release it? Pretty sure more may follow [/QUOTE]
