04-21-07, 08:47 PM There were similar feats in 3.0, actually (Augment Construction -- it was only a +1 bonus on attack/damage rolls and +1hp/HD, though, which is fundamentally the same as +2 Strength/+2 Con, if they had a Con score). They had *no* prerequisite there.

Personally, I'd either use Psionic Endowment (the closest mechanically to Spell Focus: Conjuration) or Boost Construct itself (it's limited to a single power, not even a whole school).

It's important to note that constructs have no Constitution, though. So barring houserules (which you're using anyway since *feats* are NOT transparent by default), Augment Summoning is similar to the Menu B option Muscle.
