Chain Power

( Web 3.0)

[Metapsionic]

You can manifest powers that arc to other targets in addition to the primary target.

Prerequisite

Any other metapsionic feat,

Benefit

You can chain any power that specifies a single target and has a range greater than touch. The chained power affects that target (the primary target) normally, then arcs to a number of secondary targets equal to your manifester level. Each arc affects one secondary target. You choose the secondary targets as you like, but they must all be within 30 feet of the primary target, and no target can be affected more than once. You can affect fewer secondary targets than the maximum.

If the chained power deals damage, the secondary targets each take half as many dice of damage as the primary target (rounded down) and can attempt Reflex saving throws for half of the secondary damage. For powers that do not deal points of damage, the save DCs against arcing effects are reduced by 4. For example, a 16th-level psion manifests a chained baleful teleport on a nearby githzerai and can specify up to ten secondary targets. The githzerai, as primary target, must make a Will save against DC 17, while those affected by the secondary arcs save against DC 13.

A chained power costs a number of power points equal to its standard cost +6.
