I love the word "octopsionic."  Focused inquisitor seems much too strong; it's effectively +6 to sense motive all the time. I like swift and reflexive meditation a lot.I was also surprised by how many feats require spending your focus, but since it's easily reacquired (with the right feat) as a move equivalent action, I don't think it should be too much of a problem. Holy cow! What you're saying is that the 5th lvl wizard spell dominate person, which lasts for one day per level (9 days minimum), is equivalent to an 8th level psionic power (7 pp for psionic dominate against a normal person, +8 for a one week duration, = 15 pp.)  That seems underpowered.To make it directly equivalent to the arcane version it should be 2 pp (raising it one level) for a one day per level duration. I agree that it seems strange to bump the duration up so much for only 2 pp, though.So let's see. Right now, as is, for 7 pp you can affect a person. For 11 pp (a 6th lvl spell) you can affect a dragon or elemental. That's part of the problem, as normally this requires a 9th lvl spell to do. If you say that it requires +4 pp to last one day per lvl, then to match the arcane equivalents you have a 5th lvl spell vs a 6th lvl power, and a 9th lvl spell vs a 8th lvl power. Frankly, this would have been easier if it cost +8 pp to affect dragons et al.I'll have to mull this over a little more.</blockquote>
