He wants to get a bottle of beer from the coffee table to his hand (10 feet). He uses far hand. Does it take him a standard action? A standard and then also move action to move it, therefore making it a full round action to manifest? Or does the move action only count if you manifest far hand, then wait around for awhile- not doing anything :rolleyes: .

It also takes a move action to actually move things with far hand. So Homer would have to first use a standard action to manifest far hand. Then he would use his move action to direct far hand to bring the beer to him. On the second round, he wants to get a peanut from the table, so he has to use a move action to direct far hand to put the beer back, and use a standard action to concentrate on far hand. On the third round, he wants to get the TV remote from the table, so he has to use another move action to bring the remote over, and another standard action to keep the power up. On the fourth round, he decides all this concentration is too much work, and doesn't use his standard action to concentrate on the power. The power's duration ends. Far Hand Psychokinesis Level: Psion/wilder 1 Display: Visual Manifesting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: A nonmagical, unattended object weighing up to 5 lb. Duration: Concentration, up to 1 min. Saving Throw: None Power Resistance: No Power Points: 1 You can mentally lift and move an object at will from a distance. As a move action, you can propel the object as far as 15 feet in any direction, though the power ends if the distance between you and the object exceeds the power’s range. Augment: You can augment this power in one or both of the following ways. 1. For every 2 additional power points you spend, this power’s range increases by 5 feet. 2. For every additional power point you spend, the weight limit of the target increases by 2 pounds.
