[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 1717595, member: 3146"] Well, if nothing else, I'm learning what's broken or dramatically underpriced about psionics in this thread. There's no way that the skin of Proteus is properly priced--and even less if you allow it to be made at higher manifester level. It should be three to four times the price. It's effectively unlimited healing (you heal as though resting one day every time you shift forms), unlimited lesser restoration (ability damage heals on that day/shift as well), and, even as written, troll or annis hag form. Let it be created at higher manifester levels and you'll see athachs and stone giants on a regular basis. And Expansion? It was better balanced at 1 min/level augmented. Ten minutes/level raises the specter we've got here: 24 hour expanded characters. From the last build, Empathic Feedback needs to allow PR, should probably be typed, and should be more expensive to augment. Either that, or it should allow PR but have a much shorter duration--1 minute or even 1 round/level like Fire Shield. And, metapsionic feats shouldn't stack with themselves any more than metamagic feats do. (Lets not imagine the hideousness that one could get by stacking empowers on an energy ball--or worse yet, an energy ray (no save to worry about, and therefore no opportunity cost for using metapsionics instead of augmentation).
