Message: <blockquote data-quote="Halma" data-source="post: 1701235" data-attributes="member: 136">Currently I am playing an elf psy_war/cleric.  I noticed that the concentration check for becoming Psionically focused is DC 20, is a full round action, and provokes AOO's.  With the old system most of the Psionic feats were automatic as long as you had at least one power point remaining.  The expanded Psionics was very much needed and I am enjoying the entire book.  But I guess my question to you all is... Is this fair that the DC is 20 to become Psionically focused?  The full round and Aoo's is cool with me just seems a little ridiculous for a DC 20 concentration check.  Currently my Character is 5th lvl, and has 8 in his concentration skill total, because of low Constitution.  Normally before a battle or at the start of the day it would be best to take 20 to become psionically focused.  I have discovered you can only use your Psionic feats once in any combat, more specifically psionic weapon.  If I miss my target it would be stupid to spend the time to become PF again in the round, because I have a very low chance to become PF again. Wouldn't it be better if PF was set to DC 15 instead, full round action and incur AOO's?What we have done as a House rule is to come up with a Feat so that either the PSW or Psion can spend one point to become PF, with a Move action, but still incurring a AOO from this expenditure.  We call this "Feed the Focus".  With using this feat we stated that in order to spend the point to become PF you have to have 1 point left after the expenditure.  So you could only do this if you had 2 power points in your pool.  The use of this feat will be greatly diminished around 10th lvl Psion or PSW, because the concentration checks will be much easier to make.  But the fact that you can take a move action instead of a Full round seems to keep this feet useful for quite sometime.What are your opinions on this feat?  Also what do you think of the DC 20-concentration check for PF?Thanks guys, Halma</blockquote>
