[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3413298, member: 29014"] Hmm...the first one is entirely for long-term buffs and is unlimited, so it would probably give ballpark 50 PP off at high levels (I can safely say that the high level Psion in my FtF game casts 25 out-of-combat buffs per day,especially Psionic Mind Blank on the whole party, since it isn't self-only and they hate being scryed). The second one has other idiosyncrasies--because the limit on uses prevents the character from just using it every X rounds the whole day long, it'll still be used mainly for prebuffs, but now you have a hard limit on daily uses. At level 13, this'll tend to be 30 PP per day from the feat (10 buffs, which is *easily* doable at that level), and by level 20, this'll tend to be 52 per day (13 buffs--there's no way the Psion will have less than this number unless she is intentionally avoiding buffs to be a total Blaster or something, in which case she won't have this feat anyway--she'll get much more use out of Metapsionic feats and the focus enhancers). Thus, I like the second one better. The question is--does the limit on usage balance this feat with Psionic Talent? How about the Epic feat Improved Manifestation that gives you 19 PP? [/QUOTE]
