[Bob5th]

True Metabolisim + Persistant Power = healing 10 hp a round all day. 144,000 total

Sounds good too me. I like it.

Not overpowered. Your using a great feat on a 9th level power. It costs 25 power points, you need to be atleast 17th level, and a 19 strength. It'd still be easy to take out the Psion using other means. So, no, not overpowered at all.

True Metabolism =17 pp
Persistant Power = +8 pp
Persistant True Metabolism = 25 pp

Maximum power points on a Metapsionic'd power from a 20th level psion = 19 pp.

Too bad.

Okay, we need the ELH to do this. Still, it'll be good when you finally achieve this level. What level would you nered to be to do this?

Yeah I love it to I'm just afraid my DM won't when I cast it. Another good combo could be Probability Mantle from ITCK. AA 20% miss chance and ability to reroll one dice a round for 24 hours game time. Very cool IMHO. I love psionics.

Level 26.

However, there is a feat in If Thoughts could Kill called Transcend limits that increases your max metapsionic power cost by 2, and can be taken more than once. So a psion truly devoted to abusing Persistent power and others needs to burn 4 feats on Transcend Limits to pull the trick off at level 20. If he wants to do that, let him.

Besides, at level 20, I would think that healing would be more valuable as one large burst when needed, the Heal spell, than as a continous, less significant, more wasteful healing over time. Take a fight with a big dragon as an extreme example. In an absurdly long 20 round fight, the dragon would heal 200 points before dieing, if it had damage every round. ON the other hand, a heal spell would probably heal at least 500, and save the dragon from near death.

Yes but for PC who are designed to have time between fights unlike most monsters who only see one this can become useful.

Depends on how much combat you have and how drawn out it is. Also, depends on the gaming style. Do you always kill everything you run up agaisnt? No my group. Creatures hhave an odd abilty I call "Self Preservation". So, many things won't fight until they die.

Also, that'sa lot of wasted points if you do it everyday and don't end up fighting anything.

I'm not too worried about persistent power and psions, now persistent spell and clerics can get really sick fast.
