04-14-08, 06:10 PM I am planning on playing an Erudite soon, and my eyes caught an awesome PrC to take at high level.(In addition to Archpsion) Its the Meditant (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20040827c). Despite the prerequisites being feat heavy, I love the flavour power behind Psychic Meditation. There's only one problem.

Have you seen the 9th level ability?
Ethereal Form (Su): At 9th level, the meditant and her equipment can become ethereal and return back to material existence as a standard action. The amount of time she spends as ethereal is unlimited, but she can become ethereal and return to material existence only three times per day. The meditant gains all the benefits and limitations as described on page 76 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.

Mt disgust is not power oriented, but rather: What the hell does it have to do with Psychic Meditation? It just look like a botched ability, to fill a dead level.

I can't find anything tasty to replace it with, so I ask you.

Help me!

Just remember that both should be vulnerable to attack.

04-14-08, 08:31 PM A meditant has discovered the wondrous powers that can be released when mind and body become one.

Emphasis mine. The meditant isn't really making mind and body become one without this, although it does mimic the unbodied a bit too much for my liking. Maybe the ability to activate one extra center with the same action? Of course, you'll still have to pay for each activation.
