[QUOTE="Zack2216, post: 1491907, member: 2369"] Warning: Tangent! There are some things I like about the book (now that I own it and have had a weekend to read through it). The only major qualm I have is the psionic focus expenditure. I was thinking, "Hey, I like this mechanic, but how can I improve it so it doesn't completly break the system?" So, I came up with this feat [B]Autorefocus [Psionic][/B] Prerequisites: Psionic Meditation, Concentration 13 ranks, Wis 17 You can regain your psionic focus after expending it [U]Benefit:[/U] When you expend your psionic focus to use a psionic feat, you may pay 3 power points. If you do, you may make a concentration check DC 35 to regain your psionic focus as a free action. This feat can only be used when you expend your psionic focus. [U]Special:[/U] If this feat is used after you expend your psionic focus in conjunction with a metapsionic feat, the 3 pp is counted against your maximum allowed pp expenditure per power manifestation. IE: If Eli manifests an empowered energy ball, only to find that the oponent didn't die, he can, with this feat, pay 3 pp to make a concentration check. Assuming he succeeds, he may now use a quickened energy ray aswell. [U]Normal:[/U] It takes a full round action to regain your psionic focus as part of a concentration check. Also, I was considering considering a feat that could allow a wilder to either ignore psychic enervation with an autohypnosis check or partially reduce the chance of psychic enervation to occur. A non epic version would reduce the result by either 5% or allow a check of some sort to reduce by 5% for every 5 above twenty. It would look something like this: [B](Input nifty name here)[/B] Prerequisites: Psychic enervation, cha 17, Autohypnosis 4 You can decrease the chances of psychic enervation [B]Benefit:[/B] by expending your psionic focus, you may make an autohypnosis check. For every 5 above 20 in the result, you may decrease the chance of psychic enervation by 5%. So, what do you think? I like my first idea, but my second was sort of spur of the moment. Any ideas/advice? [/QUOTE]
