06-29-07, 05:30 PM The Scribe Tattoo feat states "When you create a psionic tattoo, you make any choices that you would normally make when manifesting the power." Does that mean a wilder could create a psionic tattoo at a higher caster level using his wild surge? Would that require additional material and XP costs? Would psychic enervation affect the scribing at all?

No. Despite his wild surge ability, a wilder does not actually meet any manifester level prerequisites this would involve. Wild surge only affects manifesting, not item creation.

Alright. I was thinking about it and realized that it wouldn't be that fair. He could just wild surge a bunch of tattoos before an adventure, and greatly reduce his risk of becoming enervated in a dangerous situation. Sure, it would cost gold and experience, but it would miss the point of the class.

Thanks for the response.
