View Full Version : Pathfinder Boosting (Changing Action Type) Psionic Abilities?

Okay, long story short: I'm looking for a way to make a psionic ability conferred by a feat into an immediate action, as opposed to the standard/move action it currently is.

Long story long: The psionic feat Unwilling Participant (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/feats/unwilling-participant-psionic/) is a standard action or a move action if you blow your psionic focus at the same time. I'm about to hit a level where I get a feat, and I'm hoping for a way to make it an immediate action -- mostly because the rest of the party is killing the opposition too fast for me to make use of it. :)

Pathfinder only, but 3rd Party should be all right. After all, the psionics rules themselves are 3rd Party Pathfinder.

A second thought: Do you think Ability Focus (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/monster-feats/ability-focus/) would boost the DC of the same feat? Or is there another way?

You can do reduce that into a move/swift if you dip into Void Prophet (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/path-of-war/classes/zealot/archetypes/void-prophet/) zealot, or as a free action when an enemy fails a save against one of your maneuvers at 3rd level. Initiators are generally quite front-loaded and very multiclass-friendly with their maneuver progression still advancing at half rate also with out-of-class levels, and the zealot is no exception. Probably a nice dip for you regardless of the reduced action.

And yes, as far as I know, Ability Focus would be the only way to boost the DC. Unless perhaps if there's some way to increase your ML above your character level for this purpose (which I've forgotten about/missed)...
