[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 5019103, member: 10784"] The guy playing the psion in our group designed his own prestige class a while back in the campaign. The PrC basically capped his powers to level 6 powers, though his overall manifester level increased at each level of the class so he could gain new powers. He was a Psion 7 when he switched over to the Prc and took 10 levels in the PrC. So, he when he was level 17 overall, his manifester level was 17, but he was capped at level 6 powers because of the PrC. However, when he was a Psion 7/PrC 2 he could take level 5 powers and psion 7/PrC 4, he could take level 6 powers. [I]Edited to add: But, when he was psion 7/PrC 6, he could still only take max of level 6 powers, though he could still manifest them with 13 power points, if needed. If he was a straight psion 13, he would have been able to take level 7 powers. Similarly, at Psion 7/PrC 8, he was still limited to level 6 powers, though could use 15 power points and a psion 15 could have been using level 8 powers... and at Psion 7/PrC 10, he was still limited to level 6 powers where a straight psion 17 would then be manifesting level 9 powers.[/I] However, now that he is level 18, he cannot take another level in his PrC and would switch back to psion. I'm not sure how it would work in terms of new powers. Is he a psion 8 and limited to level 4 powers and the PrC is separate? Or, now that he is out of his PrC, can he take level 7 powers? Or, can he take any level power, as he is level 18 overall? I can see each side of the issue here. Thanks [/QUOTE]
