    Default Psionics questions!

    Mainly does Twin Power work on Inertial Armor? From everything I've read it would.
    This would basically give +8 armor bonus for 7 PPs.

    (I know I can augment Inertial armor, but at only +1 AC for every 2 PPs.)


    And eventually use both Extend Power and Twin Power on Inertial Armor, so I can sit around with a +8 AC virtually all day at level 10.

    That's not how Twin Power works (or Twin Spell). Twin Power manifests the same power twice, so you have Inertial Armor (giving +4 Armor AC) and Inertial Armor (giving +4 Armor AC). Since armor AC bonuses don't stack, you just end up with +4.

    Doesn't work like that. You'd get two instances of a power giving a +4 armor bonus. Since bonuses overlap rather than stack, you're only getting a +4.
    An opponent would need to succeed on two dispel checks to get rid of the bonus, but otherwise, there is no benefit to Twinning Inertial Armor.

    You benefit from Dispel effects since enemies need to dispel both.

    But mostly it would be a waste.

    Also note that unless you have more than one source of psionic focus at the same time(schism or feats for psicrystal to also focus), you can't use 2 metapsionic feats at the same time: You must consume psionic focus to activate any(most?) metapsis.
