If you are a non-Psionic class and you take Awakened Potential multiclass feat, you gain the Psionic Augmentation class feature and 1 Power Point which recharges daily.

In the Character Builder, when you take the Awakened Potential multiclass feat, you gain the Psionic Augmentation class feature but the builder gives you the full number of power points you would have if you were a Psion or an Ardent at your current level. Also, the builder allows you to pick another at-will power at level 3, 7, etc. Well, it lets you pick another one at level 3. You would be able to pick one at level 7 and so on except the builder doesn't let you "lose a lower level at-will to gain one of the new level."

Nov 17, 2011 11:53:53 This is a point of contention with our group as well. The Psionic Augmentation class feature says,

"Through discipline and careful study, you have mastered a form of psionic magic that offers greater versatility than other characters command. You know a broad array of at-will powers, each of which is a conduit through which you can pour as much or as little psionic energy as you choose. You channel psionic energy into a reservoir of personal power—represented in the game as power points—that you can use to augment your at-will attack powers, replacing the encounter attack powers that other characters use.

Because of this class feature, you acquire and use powers in a slightly different manner from how most other classes do.

At-Will Attack Powers: At 1st level, you choose two at-will attack powers and one daily attack power from your class, but you don’t start with any encounter attack powers from your class. You can instead augment your class at-will attack powers using power points. These powers have the augmentable keyword.

You gain new at-will attack powers from this class, instead of new encounter attack powers, as you increase in level. At 3rd level, you choose a new at-will attack power from this class. At 7th, 13th, 17th, 23rd, and 27th level, you can replace one of your at-will attack powers with another one of your level or lower. Both powers must be augmentable and from this class."

That is what you get with Awakened Potential. So the character builder is trying to implelement. Many people seem to disagree - they seem to think it says, "you are treated as if you have the Psionic Augmentation Class Feature for purposes of pre-requisites and may augment any augmentable powers that you have"

Dec 23, 2011 11:56:09 I'm having a problem with this feat as well. It really becomes useless for anyone who doesn't have access to augmentable at-wills. Anyone who does have access to augmentable at-wills already has this class feature.

I tried to give it to my warlock thinking it would add a little flair to him but it just removed all his encounter powers and let me choose one more warlock at-will. I don't think this could possibly be working as intended. Why would anyone ever take this and give up all their encounter powers but not get anything in return besides the ability to take psion feats and use augmentable items?

Jan 05, 2012 13:01:09 There are so many builds I want to use that I would sacrifice my encounter powers for it's not even funny, if this part of the psionic augmentation feature is true:

"You gain new at-will attack powers from this class, instead of new encounter attack powers, as you increase in level. At 3rd level, you choose a new at-will attack power from this class. At 7th, 13th, 17th, 23rd, and 27th level, you can replace one of your at-will attack powers with another one of your level or lower. "

Quite happily would I become a Bard MC everything with augmentable powers from every psionic class.
