Evening folks, I debated putting this in the PF questions thread but it seemed that it would be too long for that.

I have several questions about the DSP Cryptic's Disrupt pattern ability.
source: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/classes/cryptic#TOC-Disrupt-Pattern-Su-

1: What kind of damage does it deal?

2: What kind of DR does it pierce?

3: If I use an such as binding pattern does any of the above change?

4: Can I attach multiple insights to a Disrupt pattern attack? If so are there certain insights that cannot be attached to a Disrupt Pattern atack?

5: Can I take ability focus to increase the DC of my special patterns? (Binding and Shinning pattern most importantly)

6: If I have the Explosive Pattern insight and the Binding Pattern insight, can I entangle people hit by the splash damage. What if I have Bleeding Pattern and Explosive pattern?

1) Untyped. Think of it like Eldritch Blast.

2) It's a supernatural (read: magical) attack and thus not subject to DR at all (so, all of them.)

3) No. None of the Insights that modify your DP change its damage type.

4a) I don't see anything preventing you from modifying one Disruption with multiple insights.
4b) Not all insights have anything to do with your Disrupt Pattern ability. Insights are just class goodies you get, similar to an Alchemist's Discoveries - some affect his bombs, some don't - same thing here.

5) Yes, because they are supernatural. Note that you must take it separately for each of these however.

6) I would say yes to both (the damage is pretty miniscule in both cases) but this may warrant asking on the DSP forums.
