[QUOTE="Nagual, post: 5882655, member: 96771"] Does an [I]Ectopic Form[/I] construct gain its normal menu abilities (from menus A,B,C) ,as well as the special abilities of the ectopic form or do the later replace these? Would you consider it seriously unbalancing to allow the effects of the [I]Boost Construc[/I]t feat to also apply to the [I]Skin of the Construc[/I]t effects (i.e. allowing two menu choices)? Here is an idea for a power that allows a psion to create a [I]sense link[/I] with his construct. Perhaps the power could also provide the construct with additional skills (or skill check bonuses), selected from Psion's own skill list. Please tell me what you think. [I]Awaken Construct[/I] Metacreativity (Creation), Auditory, special (see text), standard (see text), Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels), An astral construct you manifest, 1 min./level, None, No, 1PP Grant limited artificial (animal) intelligence to an astral construct. You take a point of Intelligence damage when manifesting this power. This damage cannot be healed while the power is in effect. This power may be dismissed at will. A construct with this power is no longer immune to mind-affecting effects. As such it can be the target of powers such as Sense-link. This power can be manifested as a swift action in the same round that you manifest an astral construct, as long as the power points you spend to perform both actions does not exceed your manifester level. Augment: increase Intelligence +1 2PP You may (at the moment of manifesting the power) grant a set of tricks to your astral construct. A construct with an Int of 1 can learn a maximum of three tricks, while a construct with an Int of 2 can learn a maximum of six tricks. [/QUOTE]
