    Default Bonus Power Points

    I am somewhat confused as to how the Bonus Power Point Table works. Example, If I play a Psychic Warrior, and I have a WIS of 20. At 1st level, I gain 2 pp. At 2nd level, would i gain 5 pp (total 7), or 3,(total 5)?

    Default Re: Bonus Power Points

    You gain bonus power points equal to [Manifesting class levels] * [Manifesting stat's modifier] / 2, rounded down.

    It's a good formula for when you don't have the table handy. :)

    It's actually manifester level and not manifesting class levels, which is nice with ML-boosters and for multiclass characters with Practiced Manifester.

    You're correct. Text-trumps-table ftw!

    Although, Practiced Manifester states that it does not affect "powers per day" - arguably it refers to the bonus power points, but it is something that is up to interpretation.

    The only class that grants powers per day is the erudite, in the form of Unique Powers Per Day.

    That, and it was just a crappy copy/paste of Practiced Spellcaster.

    Though according to the way power points work, it's based on your manifester level, which is improved by Practiced Manifester. You do the math.
