[QUOTE="James McMurray, post: 1506698, member: 743"] It isn't core, but its as Core as the XPH. Its in Savage Species in a 3.0 version. The 3.5 version is in the Player's Guide to Faerun. The balance between it and Darkvision is a factor of range (30' for blindsight) and duration (1 minute per level for blindsight). The savage species version is 3rd level, but the 3.5 PGtF version is 2nd level. The psion can manifest any power he wants to while grappled or pinned. The spellcaster must have still spell, or restrict himself to verbal only spells. If he is pinned, the verbal spells go away as well. Additionally, unless he has Eschew, he will have to already have grabbed his material component before he was grappled. It also lets the psion live while the rest of the party dies. The enemy spellcaster that "killed" him then makes his spellcraft check and identifies the power, so he can wait next to the fire with his 50 buddies the next day. I don't mind Fiery Discorporation at all. I think its flavorful and balanced. Your best bet is to get the party tank to carry a torch, or the party monk. That way when you discorporate he can carry you away. Arbiter: All psions use Int. Wilders use Cha. Psychic Warriors use Wisdom. Psicrystals are now a feat rather than a class ability, but you do get a bonus feat at 1st level, so can easily grab a crystal if its important tothe character. [/QUOTE]
