[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 161697, member: 3424"] [b]Re: Sorry...[/b] I have just checked my PsiHB. [I]Psychofeedback[/I] requires 7 PSP to manifest, after which the manifester can boost any physical [B]modifier[/B] (Str, Dex or Con) by 1 per 2 PSP expended. Hence, a psion who wants to boost his Str modifier by +50 in order to make the DC50 Str check would need to expend 100 PSP. Hence, a 15th level Psion with Str 10 and a score of 16 in his key ability score (for 9 bonus PSPs) should be able to do it. A more cost-effective way, PSP-wise, is to use [I]Polymorph Self[/I] (7 PSP) first to change into a fire giant (size Large; 15 HD; Str 31). After manifesting [I]Psychofeedback[/I] (7 PSP), the psion only has to expend 60 PSP to boost his Str modifier to +50. Total cost: 7 + 7 + 60 = 74 PSP. He still needs to be 15th level or he will not be able to [I]Polymorph Self[/I] into a fire giant. And I agree with other posts. At this cost, it is far better to use [I]Disintegrate[/I] (11 PSP).
