Do Psions get Psicrystals for free?

[IcyCool]

What, in the Dodge rules, prevents me from "designating" the same opponent multiple times? After all, if "a psicrystal" does not mean "one and only one psicrystal from this feat," then "a +1 Dodge bonus" does mean "one and only one +1 Dodge bonus from this feat."

Therefore, I can select you multiple times, and gain multiple Dodge bonuses - which, by the rules, stack.

I suppose you could indeed read it that way, just as you could read the psicrystal feat to grant you unlimited psicrystals. The "New opponent" bit in the Dodge feat might be hard to reconcile, but you could ignore it.

Is there a point you were getting to with all of this? You asked if there was any feat that gave you "unlimited anythings."

I feel as if we are having this conversation:
Me - "It works like A."
Patryn - "No! It works like A!"
Me - "I know."
Patryn - "Well, fine!"
Me - "Fine!"
Patryn - "All right then."

I suppose you could indeed read it that way, just as you could read the psicrystal feat to grant you unlimited psicrystals.

The point is that Dodge most certainly doesn't give you an unlimited number of Dodge bonuses to AC; it gives you one (and you may choose when to apply it). If you read it that way (is there anyone who doesn't?), then you must similarly read the psicrystal feat as only allowing a single psicrystal, since neither specify "at most one at a time."

Therefore, taking the psicrystal feat gives you exactly one psicrystal, and there is no way to replace it.

*shrug* I haven't been arguing this one way or the other. I was simply giving you a list of things that you asked for.

Ninja Patryn: "Ahh, my nemesis, I would destroy you if only I had a sword!"

Pirate Nail: "Arr me foolish foe! Ye be without blade and ye soon be without breath!"

FedEx Guy Icy: "Yeah, I got a delivery here for a 'Ninja Patryn'?" *Hands sword-in-a-box to Patryn* "Sign here ... and here. Thanks!"

Ninja Patryn: "At last! I smite thee!" *Draws sword and Stabs FedEx Guy Icy.*

FedEx Guy Icy: *Dies with confused look on his face.*

ROTFL!

Thanks.....or rather.....

"Arrrr, matey! That's a fine tale ye spin thar!"

Leadership does offer some interesting parallels. Only one cohort... at a time.

This thread has become my new shining example of why "RAW only" arguements are basically silly and non-productive.

Oh come on! Non-productive? It took me 10 minutes to come up with that ninja Patryn bit.










Then I travelled back in time one minute and posted it.

Wait....you want me to be productive? Yer startin' to sound like me wife!

He thinks it will become true if he says it enough.

I'm afraid Frank's correct here. The feat doesn't say, so the GM has to/gets to. If the GM says you get a new one, you do. If not, there's no mechanic listed for getting one, so there's no arguement.

The feat does however, specifically allow you to get a new GM if your old one tries to pull this on you.

 

[ARandomGod]

Exactly. Either the feat gives you one and only one psicrystal, or it gives you unlimited psicrystals.

Is there any other feat that gives you unlimited anythings?

Oh yea, there are tons. I'll stick with one, just to example.
Point Blank Shot:
Gives you an unlimited number of +1 to damage/to hit each time you fire an arrow, whenever you're in 30 feet of your target.

Sure, you only get it once per arrow (or 'missile') , but you get it an unlimited number of times.

Edit: Man, soo many other people have already posted this. That's what I get for not reading ahead. Still, APAatT (All Power Attack all the Time).

Edit II: Now, if you can only somehow get an additional ability to grant you an infinite number of ATTACKS per round, that's an infinite number of +1 bonuses granted by Point Blank Shot. However, at that point, PBS probably becomes redundant.
