Consume
Psychometabolism
Level: Psion/wilder 1
Display: Auditory and visual
Manifesting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: One living creature touched
Duration: Instantaneous and 5/min Level; see text
Saving Throw: Fortitude half
Power Resistance: Yes
Power Points: 1
Your pointing finger turns black as obsidian. A creature touched by you is partially assimilated into your form and takes 1d6 points of damage. Any creature reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by this power is killed, entirely consumed into your form, leaving behind only a trace of fine dust. An consumed creature’s equipment is unaffected.
A creature that is partially consumed into your form (that is, a creature that has at least 1 hit point following your use of this power) grants you a number of temporary hit points equal to half the damage you dealt for 5 minutes per level.
A creature that is completely consumed grants you a number of temporary hit points equal to the damage you dealt and a +1 bonus to constitution, per 4 HD consumed, for 5/min per level. If the consumed creature knows psionic powers, you gain knowledge of one of its powers for 1 hour. You gain some semblance of a creature you completely consume for 1 hour, granting you a +10 bonus on Disguise checks made to appear as that creature during that time.
Augment
For every additional power point you spend, this power’s damage increases by 1d6 points.
For every three additional power points you spend, you can select one Int based skill that a completely consumed creature had and are treated as trained in that skill for 5/min a level, with ranks equal to the consumed creature's ranks.
This is kinda-sorta based on the Assimilate power, with the intent of making it scale and be more useful early on. Because I think it's criminal to not have a lower level power to do that sort of thing.
