Q210
How exactly does Catapsi work? Say I'm a level 5 psion and I try to manifest Mind Thrust while within a Catapsi field. Which of the following scenarios is true?
a) I choose to manifest Mind Thrust, then I attempt a Will save. The save fails, so I must spend +4 pp; I choose to manifest without augmentation, pay the extra pp, and the power occurs.
b) I choose to manifest Mind Thrust, choose to augment the power, then I attempt a Will save. The save fails, so I cannot afford to augment as planned, but manifest without augmentation and spend the extra pp to make the power occur.
c) I choose to manifest Mind Thrust, choose to augment the power, then I attempt a Will save. The save fails, so my planned augmentation is impossible and the power fails.
d) I choose to manifest Mind Thrust, refuse to pay the extra PP, and must therefore make a Will save; when this fails, the power is not manifested. By choosing to make the save, I waive the option of spending the extra PP.
e) Some other scenario I've overlooked.
