Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spatula" data-source="post: 1473859" data-attributes="member: 2198">Well, I picked the book up and have just gotten through the feats...  I don't care for psions manifesting off of Int but that's old news and easy enough to change.  One thing that leaped out at me is that psionic focus is a HUGE limiting factor on the psionic characters.  It's a full round action to acquire the focus (DC 20 Concentration check) and most psionic feats require you to expend your focus in order to gain their benefit, so you generally only get to use one psionic feat once per fight.  Also old news.What I didn't realize is that all the Metapsionic feats require you to expend your focus!!! (AND still pay extra power points!)  Power Penetration requires the expenditure of your focus!  Psionic Endowment (the new name for the psi version of Spell Focus) requires the psionic focus to go bye-bye in order to get the save DC boost!  What a huge and rather crippling change.With the metapsionic feats, it looks like it might be in response to psions, as spontaneous "casters", not needing extra time to meta-up their powers.  On the flip side, most of the metapsionic feats have a reduced power point cost increase (by 2 pts).  I don't see much rationale yet for limiting Power Penetration and Psionic Endowment, though.There is a feat that reduces the time to get your psionic focus back to a move action, which looks like it'll be more or less mandatory for psions.</blockquote>
