[QUOTE="Majere, post: 1526741, member: 13916"] Metamorphic Transfer [Psionic] You gain a supernatural ability of a metamorphed form. Prerequisite: Wis 13, Manifester level 5th. Benefit: Each time you change your form, such as through the metamorphasis power, you gain one of the new form's supernatural abilities, if it has any. You gain only three uses of the metamorphic ability(1) per day, even if the creature into which you metamorph has a higher limit on uses. For instance, if you gain a dragon's breath weapon, you can use that ability(2) only three times before losing access to the ability (3)for they day. (You are still subject to the other restrictions on the use of the ability. For example, after you use a dragon's breath weapon, you can't use it again for 1d4 rounds.) How I would read it: "Each time you change your form, such as through the metamorphasis power, you gain one of the new form's supernatural abilities, if it has any." -- Each and everytime you change form, you gain acess to one of that forms supernatural powers, assuming it has at least one. You do not gain any if it has no super natural abilities. "You gain only three uses of the metamorphic ability per day, even if the creature into which you metamorph has a higher limit on uses. " (This sentance is actually gibberish and utterly unmeaningful, but my best efforts) -- You gain three uses of the "metamorphc ability" *The word "the" indicates reference to a preiously introduced concept, well the only such idea introduced so far as an ability would be the ability gained by changing form, therefore it must relate to that. Hense for metamorphic ability read "ability gained via use of the the metamorphic transfer feat" - You only gain three uses of the "ability gained via the metamorphic feat" per day, even if th creature would normally be able to use the ability more often than this. "For instance, if you gain a dragon's breath weapon, you can use that ability only three times before losing access to the ability for they day." *note it says "acess to the ability", here the word "the" again refers to a preceeding object, in this case the breath weapon. ie. -For instance, if you gain a dragon's breath weapon, you can use the super natural ability of a dragons breath weapon only three times before losing access to the ability for the day. "(You are still subject to the other restrictions on the use of the ability. For example, after you use a dragon's breath weapon, you can't use it again for 1d4 rounds.) " - This limit of uses per day does not supercede any other limits upon the supernatural ability's useage.For example, after you use a dragon's breath weapon, you can't use it again for 1d4 rounds, and a maximum of three times per day That is the "literal" interpretation Majere [/QUOTE]
