[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 3246437, member: 16285"] Believe it or not they should actually work pretty much as written. Burn a feat for the Overchannel feat, which in exchange for the ability to increase manifester level does physical damge to a chracter that has low hit poitns (psions ony have d4). To follow the feat chain (again requires spending feat slots): Talented - allows spending your psionic focus to not take the physical damage from 3rd or lower level powers when overchanneling.. {Now we have already covered the "cost" of expending your focus, to mitigage the full round action to regain your focus requires another feat - Psionic Meditation (again restrictins on this feat have been covered already) So a psion requires: Overchannel feat (available at first level) Talented (also available at first level) But there are your total first level feats: Character level and bonus psion feat Then the psion must wait untill 5th level to take psionic meditiation, buring his bonus psion feat to take it. So that is 3 feats to gain the benefit. Now overchannel could be house-ruled to make it less effective though. Several people think it leads to overpowering of a psion at higher levels. I haven't run into that problem yet, but we haven't been able to get a high enough level psion (either as a player or GM) to deal with it yet. The only high level psion I've run,(and I just started him - at 6th level) required feat burning to take a Prestige Class - so didn't have the feats to use for this chain. [/QUOTE]
