Meta-Psionicist Prestige Class (PEACH)

4/5 manifesting, 5 for 5 bonus feats, and the strongest class ability at 1st level... there is almost no reason for a psion to not take this class (the exception being if they've already lost manifesting to other dips). I recommend the following:

Level	BAB	Fort	Ref	Will	Special	Manifesting
1	+0	+0	+0	+1	Improved Metapsionics
2	+1	+1	+1	+1	Bonus Feat	+1 level of existing class
3	+1	+1	+1	+2	Metapsionic Boost	+1 level of existing class
4	+2	+1	+1	+2	Bonus Feat	+1 level of existing class
5	+2	+2	+2	+3	Greater Metapsionics, Metapsionic Mastery	+1 level of existing class

Improved Metapsionics: When using a power affected by a metapsionic feat, a Metapsionicist of 1st level or higher reduces the power point cost adjustment by 1 (to a minimum of 1).

Bonus Feat: At 2nd and 4th level, a Metapsionicist chooses a metapsionic feat that they meet the prerequisites for and gains it as a bonus feat. Alternately, they may choose a metamagic feat and learn its metapsionic equivalent (see Converting Metamagic to Metapsionics, below).

Metapsionic Boost: When a Metapsionicist of 3rd level or higher manifests a power affected by a metapsionic feat, they treat that power as being one level higher for the purpose of saving throw DCs and other power level-dependent things for every full three additional power points in the metapsionic feat's power point cost adjustment (for example, and Extended power is not treated as a higher level than normal, while a Quickened power is treated as two levels higher than normal). Calculate the effective level increase before applying any power point cost reductions such as from the Improved Metapsionics ability.

Greater Metapsionics: A 5th level Metapsionicist reduces the power point cost adjustment for metapsionic feat by an additional 1, for a total reduction of 2 points (minimum 1).

Metapsionic Mastery: At 5th level, the use of metapsionics becomes second nature to a Metapsionicist. They no longer expend their psionic focus when manifesting powers with a (pre-reduction) power point cost adjustment of 2 or less.

To convert a metamagic feat to a metapsionic feat, do the following:

• Replace all prerequisites that require a certain number of metamagic feats with prerequisites that require the same number of metapsionic feats (for example, Repeat Power, the metapsionic version of Repeat Spell, would require any one metapsionic feat).
• Replace all caster level requirements with manifester level requirements (for example, City Power, the metapsionic version of City Spell, would require manifester level 3rd).
• Replace all prerequisites that require specific metamagic feats with prerequisites that require the metapsionic version of those feats (for example, Persistent Power, the metapsionic version of Persistent Spell, would require Extend Power).
• Calculate the power point cost adjustment by doubling the spell level adjustment (for example, Persistent Power, the metapsionic version of Persistent Spell, would increase the power point cost by (6*2)= 12 power points). Metapsionic versions of spells that do not increase the spell's level only require the expenditure of the manifester's psionic focus.

This seems a bit too strong, though... maybe add manifesting progression at 1st level, but remove it at 2nd and 4th, for 3/5 manifesting?

...... I Like this. Thanks!
