Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scion" data-source="post: 1502461" data-attributes="member: 5777">Most of the powers they are immune to that are harmful are pretty limited use anyway, and arent used beyond the first few levels. Not a huge bonus, but they are also immune to some 'beneficial' spells which are used later on. So, at best it is a wash.The -2 may not be huge, but the lack of a +2 definately is. As the -2 will cost roughly 2 point buy points most of the time, but lack of a +2 costs a min of 2 and up to 10. That is an enormous deficit.And that spell gets rid of all of your other racial abilities? Sounds like a pretty sucky spell now doesnt it? Having a +1 all of the time, without cost, vs a +4 sometimes that has two (maybe three, depending on how you count) costs..hmm.. Pretty much a wash there as well.Have you seen how many powers in the psionics handbook use those free actions? A lot, and there is quicken power for that matter. With the amounts of powers that can be quickened it makes that action type even more desireable. Making the cost to use your racial abilities even higher.Sure, it is an interesting ability. But a +2 con would probably save a person from such things just as often, along with granting a score of other abilities. Plus, you have to pay for this with an immediate action, what if you had already used it for that +4 to save? or for some other ability? (psionic pounce is pretty nice after all!)So, they have nice abilties of course. But the sheer cost of having them is so high it is laughable <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
