Do psionic power reserve points "stack" or "overlap"?

[Sonofapreacherman]

I'll explain with an example...

If I chose the psionic feat "Inertial Armor" (that requires 1 unused power reserve point) and I also chose the psionic feat "Speed of Thought" (that requires 1 unused power reserve point as well) do I now have to keep "2" power reserve points unused to benefit from both feats?

I have looked through the Psionic's Handbook for an answer to this question, but to no avail.

Anybody? Even A page number would be great. Thanks.

Since each need only one, I think that having one unused power point will be good for both feats.

You need only one reserve pp ... but I can't recall where I read the rules about that, sorry.

It's from Q&A's with Bruce Cordell.

Yup, they overlap.

Reserve Power Points:
Q: If you have 2 feats that require reserve power points, say ABC requires 3+ power points, and XYZ requires 5+ points, do you need 8+ points for them both to work, or only 5+?

A: Just meet the reserve. You only need 5 in this case. A reserve of 5 meets the requirements for all abilities that require a reserve of 5 or less simultaneously.

Thanks a lot everybody! Now I have to give one very put-upon psychic warrior the good news and eat my own shoe. Sheesh! This is going to be humbling.

You could aways phrase it like you're making a change becasue you feel he'll need the extra help in future adventures. You don't have to eat humble pie unless you want to.

Too late, but thanks. I should have thought of that.
