[QUOTE="ST, post: 3701494, member: 14053"] Yeah, this is a pretty easy one -- if you open up any advanced feats with difficult prereqs, and then basically remove the prereqs, then yeah it's not going to be balanced. The feat as written assumes enough psionics to be able to change form psionically, and adds extra oomph (use of supernatural abilities) to that metamorphosis power. To the extent it's balanced, it's by the prereqs (5th level manifesting of psionics is pretty beefy), so handwaving away the prereqs will cause a problem. If you let them take the talent, you're letting them improve something they don't have. What he's asking for, to me, sounds kind of like trying to take Innate Spell (fireball) because you have enough caster levels in Cleric that, were you a Wizard instead of a cleric and you knew fireball, you'd meet the prereqs. :) edit: Oh, missed the bit where he's trying to fill the prereqs with innate racial abilities. Again, seems weird to me -- unless I should let PC-classed creatures with innate spell-like abilities buy metamagic feats that apply to those abilities. Or to put it another way, if pixies can spend a feat to do this crazy stuff the player wants, why don't they all do it? [/QUOTE]
