[QUOTE="Someone, post: 2891128, member: 5656"] I can see that; its difficult to classify, but it doesn´t work like other metapsionics feats, and Boost Construct is similar, altering a specific power you have. It´s better because nobody in his right mind would ever use Twin Power on Astral Construct, and the feat is specific for Astral Construct. By taking Twin Power you can Twin many powers, not only AC. Ok, I´ll try with the Astral Servant power, so you can choose your favorite: [b]Astral Servant[/b] Metacreativity (Creation) Level: Shaper 1 Display: Visual; see text Manifesting Time: 1 round Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: One created astral servant Duration: 1 hour/level (D) Saving Throw: None Power Resistance: No Power Points: 1 This power creates one 2nd level astral servant of solidified ectoplasm. It appears where you designate and acts immediately, on your turn. It performs any single task you command it to do at the best of it´s ability (follow me, clean the room, carry this, etc); if you cease to give them instructions, they continue performing their last task. Directing the astral servant is a mental free action, but you need line of sight with the servant to give him new instructions. Astral servants can also be directed to obey the verbal commands of a particular character, and if used as mounts they´ll obey his rider as if it were a normal animal trained for war. Astral servants are not summoned; they are created on the plane you inhabit (using ectoplasm drawn from the Astral Plane). Thus, they are not subject to effects that hedge out or otherwise affect outsiders; they are constructs, not outsiders. Astral servants have the same stats as a astral construct of the same level, except that they have no attack modes and can´t attack except by indirect ways. Astral servants don´t have the same menu options as astral constructs and have instead their own list. Augments For every 2 additional power points you spend, the level of the astral servant increases by one. For every 6 additional power points you spend, you can trade one menu option for one choice in a menu one letter higher [i]note: this allows Medium constructs to choose the Very Skilled menu option, as you may not want a big construct in your workshop[/i] [b]Astral servant menu options:[/b] Chosing menu option for astral servants follow the same rules as for astral constructs. Menu A: [b]Extra speed:[/b] The servant gains +10 to one speed mode. This choice stacks with itself. [b]Four legged[/b]: The servant becomes a quadruped. This increases carrying capacity accordingly and makes it be usable as a mount. [b]Run[/b]: The servant gains the Run feat. [b]Tool limb[/b]: The servant comes with a limb shaped in the form of one tool: axe (1d6 damage), hammer (1d4 damage), shovel, or saw (for wood). The servant is still unable to attack creatures. The same Servant can´t have both Tool limb and Four Legged options. [b]Swim[/b]: The servant gains a swim speed of 30. Menu B: [b]Burrow[/b]: The servant gains a Burrow speed of 10. It leaves a usable tunnel behind. [b]Muscle[/b]: The construct´s Strenght increases by 6. [b]Skilled[/b]: The servant has a number of skill ranks in a Craft skill equal to your own, to a maximum of 6. The servant can spend your craft points when crafting. [b]Watcher[/b]: The servant has a number of skill points in Spot and Listen equal to it´s level plus three, and screams very loud when he perceives any creature of Small size or bigger. You can direct the construct to not react to any number of individual creatures o races. The construct can be fooled normally by illusions or shape-altering spells. Menu C: [b]Very Skilled[/b]: The servant has a number of skill ranks in a Craft skill equal to your own, to a maximum of 12. The servant can spend your craft points when crafting. [i]Edit: removed Flight options, as they could be unbalancing, added Swim and Watcher, added new augmentation, added Tool Limb[/i] [/QUOTE]
