Alxdude 03-24-08, 04:34 PM	hey, I have four questions regarding some psionic mechanics... If a spell is on a psion such as Moment of Prescience or Ethereal Jaunt or Animal Affinity (for example) will manifesting the Metamorphosis power make the power/spell go away? and Can powers be manifested as normal while using Metamorphosis? (assuming you metamorphose into a creature rather than an object) and Do the manifester levels granted by Wild Surge allow higher HD creatures to be used for Metamorphosis? and Do manifester level granted by Wild Surge allow the use of metapsionic feats such that the power point cost is higher than your manifester level before the use of Wild Surge? (i.e. does a Wild Surge +3 used by a 20th level wilder allow the wilder to quicken a power costing 17 power points?) (quicken power adds 6 power points) My apologies for the time spent replying if these questions have been asked before or are in an FAQ somewhere.
Lycanthromancer 03-24-08, 05:11 PM	hey, I have four questions regarding some psionic mechanics... If a spell is on a psion such as Moment of Prescience or Ethereal Jaunt or Animal Affinity (for example) will manifesting the Metamorphosis power make the power/spell go away?No. There's nothing about manifesting a buff power such as metamorphosis that would suppress or dispel other effects on you, except for those that you obviously can't use (such as removing a body part you'd used with graft weapon and don't have an analogue for) or for similar effects such as polymorph (which would obviously be overridden. Their durations continue to expire, and you continue to receive their effects. Can powers be manifested as normal while using Metamorphosis? (assuming you metamorphose into a creature rather than an object)Yes. You can still use your class abilities while metamorphed and you can still utilize mental actions. If you turn into an object, metamorphosis ends when you manifest a power, and if you are subject to something that severely penalizes your Intelligence score (say baleful polymorph or polymorph any object) you may or may not remember how to use your powers (and if your score drops too low, you lose access to higher level powers). Do the manifester levels granted by Wild Surge allow higher HD creatures to be used for Metamorphosis?Yes. The same applies with the Overchannel feat and things like orange ioun stones (if item-transparency is followed). All ML-related benefits are granted when manifesting a power, including increased HD caps, range, augmentation, and duration. Do manifester level granted by Wild Surge allow the use of metapsionic feats such that the power point cost is higher than your manifester level before the use of Wild Surge? (i.e. does a Wild Surge +3 used by a 20th level wilder allow the wilder to quicken a power costing 17 power points?) (quicken power adds 6 power points)Yes. The number of power points you can spend in a single manifestation is dependent on your ML for that manifestation, and since your ML increases, so does your ability to spend more power points on a metapsionic feat. My apologies for the time spent replying if these questions have been asked before or are in an FAQ somewhere.No problem, though you might want to look in the stickied threads before Tempest comes in here telling you to 'look in the FAQ at the top of the forum'. :P
