[QUOTE="wildstarsreach, post: 3062731, member: 43141"] I gained PP's both at the actual level and not the enhanced level. Getting to spend PP equal to your enhanced level is the biggest benefit and is worth taking for only this. If you are a 13th level manifester, you can only use 13 PP's per use of power. The Practiced Manifester's biggest benefit is if you are 17th level with 4 levels in something else, whatever that is, you can now spend 17 PP's at maximum with enhancements. Good or bad I would take this character over an uncarnate or other. When I play a psion in the Future, I plan to play him without a PrC. This was my character for our campaign finale. I didn't print the spell book again.
