[QUOTE="ZSutherland, post: 375529, member: 7638"] Psi, I can't find where it says to use permanency as a guide for Incarnate in the Power Description, though I admit I don't have the books with me. However, if the concensus of everyone else is, "Yes, you could maximize Animal Affinity and Incarnate it for 800 XP. Yes, you could do it once for each stat as well as give yourself a few other useful powers (including possibly True Seeing), but it could be dispelled." I have to say I'd be tempted to do it anyway. I might wait until I had 6th level powers so anytime I entered an encounter where I thought a powerful Dispel was likely I could put up a higher level power, hoping that would eat the dispel (since one version of dispel starts highest and works down but only eliminates one thing I think,) but even if some of your Incarnated stat increases and other bonuses got dispelled, chances are the DM or other player can't roll well enough to get all of them unless they far exceed you in levels. So, you might lose a few each time you got hit by a big dispel, but from then on it would just be upkeep to put them back in place, far less expensive than the original change. I'm pretty sure I'd do this. Z [/QUOTE]
