[QUOTE="Michael Tree, post: 1480697, member: 1455"] I've been tinkering with some ideas for the psionic equivalents of spell focus and spell penetration, tailored to not require expending focus. Here's what I've come up with: [B]Discipline Endowment [Psionic][/B] You can use meditation to focus your powers in a discipline you choose. [B]Prerequisites: [/B] Psionic Endowment [B]Benefit:[/B] When you are psionically focused, add the +1 bonus from Psionic Endowment to the save DCs of all powers you manifest from your chosen discipline. You do not need to expend your psionic focus to use this feat, but if you do so when manifesting a power from your chosen discipline, increase the save DC by an additional +1. If you expend your focus for another reason while manifesting a power from your chosen discipline (such as by using a metapsionic feat), the power still benefits from this feat (but does not gain an additional +1). [B]Special: [/B] If you have the Greater Psionic Endowment feat, you gain the bonus from it instead. You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new discipline. [B]Meditative Penetration [Psionic][/B] You can use meditation to help your powers break through power resistance more readily than normal. [B]Prerequisites:[/B] Power Penetration. [B]Benefit:[/B] While you are psionically focused, you get a +2 bonus on manifester level checks made to overcome a creature’s power resistance. You do not need to expend your psionic focus to use this feat. If you expend your focus for another reason while manifesting a power (such as by using a metapsionic feat), the power still benefits from this feat. [B]Special:[/B] If you have the Greater Power Penetration feat, increase the bonus for this feat to +4. I don't know if I like these any better than the approach that Piratecat took. What does anyone else think? [/QUOTE]
