There are some things I like about the book (now that I own it and have had a weekend to read through it). The only major qualm I have is the psionic focus expenditure.
I was thinking, "Hey, I like this mechanic, but how can I improve it so it doesn't completly break the system?" So, I came up with this feat
Autorefocus [Psionic]
Prerequisites: Psionic Meditation, Concentration 13 ranks, Wis 17
You can regain your psionic focus after expending it
Benefit: When you expend your psionic focus to use a psionic feat, you may pay 3 power points. If you do, you may make a concentration check DC 35 to regain your psionic focus as a free action. This feat can only be used when you expend your psionic focus.
Special: If this feat is used after you expend your psionic focus in conjunction with a metapsionic feat, the 3 pp is counted against your maximum allowed pp expenditure per power manifestation. IE: If Eli manifests an empowered energy ball, only to find that the oponent didn't die, he can, with this feat, pay 3 pp to make a concentration check. Assuming he succeeds, he may now use a quickened energy ray aswell.
Normal: It takes a full round action to regain your psionic focus as part of a concentration check.
Also, I was considering considering a feat that could allow a wilder to either ignore psychic enervation with an autohypnosis check or partially reduce the chance of psychic enervation to occur. A non epic version would reduce the result by either 5% or allow a check of some sort to reduce by 5% for every 5 above twenty. It would look something like this:
(Input nifty name here)
Prerequisites: Psychic enervation, cha 17, Autohypnosis 4
You can decrease the chances of psychic enervation
Benefit: by expending your psionic focus, you may make an autohypnosis check. For every 5 above 20 in the result, you may decrease the chance of psychic enervation by 5%.
So, what do you think? I like my first idea, but my second was sort of spur of the moment. Any ideas/advice?
