06-18-07, 04:53 AM Now i am almost positive that everyone knows this, but i was reading up on linked power because i hear people talk about it every now and then. Has anyone noticed that it specficilaly refers to the total cost of the powers as the metapsionic cost?

This means if you took Metapower enough times you can manifest powers OUT THE WAZOO for little to no PP.

Example at level 20 lets assume i have 10 feats, not a unreasonable assumption for a straight psion. 1 feat is for linked power and the other 9 are Metapowers for linked Power, and we can i don't know choose tornado blast as the meta power.

If i was to link power Energy Ray x2 augmented to 10 PP apiece then the cost would be reduced by 18 points for a total PP cost of 2, 1 point spent per blast. Now while metapower is a bit restrictive there is always Reformation or the Dark Chaos feat shuffle.

Whatcha think?

06-18-07, 06:55 AM I think you didn't read quite carefully enough. In the description for Metapower, under "special" it reads that you can gain the feat multiple times but each time you do you either choose a different power or it reduces the cost of that power by 2 for a different metapsionic feat.

Mmm...Steak.

Of course, anyone eating that steak would likely be feebleminded. Or feegleminded. They're pretty similar, really.

"Ach crivens!"

HA! This isnt the first time i have jumped to conclusions. I seem to have a bad habit of breaking off of what i am reading before i finish it. Well thanks for at least letting me know.

I think you mean Stake xD

And yes, I know that kind of joke. I used to have that wordplay in my screen name about people being burned at the 'steak' xD
