I was wondering if there is a feat like this for some feats that require you to expend the focus to use it, like Psionic Fist.

So you want a feat that COMPLETELY destroys the idea of expending focus as a cost?

Why not ask for powers to be free while you're at it?

In short, no. Permanent Focus (which only affects maintain-focus feats) is the closest you'll get, although there are a few rare techniques (in the Tome of Battle, in Magic of Eberron, and I believe one in Untapped Potential) that let you recover your focus instantly.

07-05-07, 02:02 PM I don't know about you, but aren't powers already free with the truly infinite double affinity field bestow power loop? I'm just praying for a power point cap removal ability and some way to make multipower (psionic version of multispell) viable or something, although pp cap removal would be just as nice...

BTW tempest you are soo lucky to have STR 11, I got it as a dump score. (My post is still on topic though... (I actually have 16 Int officially so w/e))
