[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4444398, member: 710"] Dang, I wondered about that power, too, and wanted to post on it. ;) But I wondered more about the implications of the power - how do "reliable" and "effect" or "miss" effect stack. The simplest answer - and I presume also the correct one - the power is not expanded on a miss, and you get the miss/effect benefit anyway. That's in interesting way to create something like "Reserve Feats" or the 3.5 Psionic Focus. You can gain a benefit if you do not expend a power. Interesting thing is that this is more or less an emergent feature of the rules - and until we saw an example of it, we didn't necessarily assume that was possible (or intended/allowed). [/QUOTE]
