02-23-07, 05:02 PM It has been debated amongst my group on when this feat is available. The text says "only at 1st level" but does not distinguish if it is at character first or class first. :confused: Does anyone have any input on this. (I wish these forums had a search function :( )

When any feat says "1st level only" it always refers to character level. It would specify if it meant at any particular class level.

There's probably going to be a lot of other questions on that feat as well, since a lot of what it does is subtle. Go ahead, ask away.

For an example, look at Weapon Specialization in the PHB.

02-26-07, 09:54 AM Thanks...Just to be sure, Psionic focus is a full round action that I have to roll for or is it just a full round action? Which skills should I concentrate on to aid this if it does need to be rolled? (pardon the pun)

Full round action, DC 20 Concentration check. Provokes attacks of opportunity, but a separate Concentration check can prevent that (see "use a skill defensively"). The Psionic Meditation feat speeds it up to a move action, and the Psicrystal Containment feat allows you to focus your psicrystal and expend its focus instead of yours to power a feat.

For more information, please see the FAQ linked in my sig. All of this is answered right there.
