[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 1750308, member: 114"] We disagree then. I think that a 2nd level power for 3pp which would allow a character to do a potential additional 20d6 damage (off hand weapon restriction noted) against anyone not protected by acid resistance - which will be most foes - is too powerful. The monk/psywar in question could have used expansion before engaging in combat in order to boost his base damage to 3d6 instead of 2d6, so the monk/psywar isn't loosing much in terms of base damage over the monk anyway. I though you might have been interested in the clear core-rules way of allowing a full attack after manifesting the power since nobody else had explained how it might be possible. (I wonder why it is hard-coded as 5r though? seems a bit strange but there you go) I also think that the purpose of the "lasts 1 round" in the context of the power description is clear. You get one touch attack (period) and you cannot hold the charge. Dissolving touch and dissolving weapon should basically have the same effect and they made it clear with dissolving weapon. Cheers p.s., just a thought - you could get more damage with a Monk11/Psywar9 with overchannel. His BAB routine on a full attack is +14/+14/+14/+8, and if he overchanneled (taking 3d8 damage against a previous [I]vigour[/I]) so that he is treated as manifester level 11, he could use 11pp to manifest a delayed (2pp) fully augmented dissolving touch for +7d6 damage on each attack [/QUOTE]
