Complete Psionics Handbook[]
Meditative Focus: Through this proficiency, a psionicist can focus his mental energy on one particular discipline. As a result, his power scores in that discipline temporarily increase, while those in other disciplines decline.
The proficiency requires the character to meditate, uninterrupted, for 12 hours. The last four hours of this meditation are spent in a deep, sleeplike trance. The psionicist can recover PSPs normally during the entire period.
When the meditation is complete, the player makes a proficiency check. If the character passes the check, he has successfully focused his mind on one particular discipline (which was chosen when the process began). All of the character's psionic power scores in that discipline are increased by two points for the next 24 hours - or until the character's PSPs have been reduced to zero, whichever comes first. All of his power scores in other disciplines are reduced by one for the same period.
Player's Option: Skills & Powers[]
Meditative Focus: This proficiency allows a psionicist to focus his mental energy into one discipline, causing all powers within that discipline to receive MTHAC0 roll bonuses; powers related to other disciplines receive MTHAC0 roll penalties.
The psionicist must meditate for 12 consecutive hours. He recovers PSPs normally during this meditative state. When the period ends, the character makes a proficiency check. Success means he has focused his energy into the chosen discipline. All MTHAC0 rolls for powers within that discipline receive a +2 bonus for the next 24 hours or until his PSP total is reduced to 0, whichever comes first. All other disciplines get a –1 penalty for the same period.
Campaign Option: Council of Wyrms Setting[]
Only gem dragons may take the Meditative Focus proficiency. With it, a gem dragon can focus its mental energy on one particular psionic discipline. As a result, its power scores in that discipline temporarily increase, while those in other disciplines decline. The dragon must spend twelve uninterrupted hours meditating-the last four in a deep tranceto focus its energy. PSPs can be recovered normally during this period. When the meditation is completed, the dragon makes a proficiency check. A successful check means that the focus worked. All of the dragon's psionic power scores in the chosen discipline are increased by 2 points for the next 24 hours, or until its PSPs are reduced to 0. All power scores for the dragon's other disciplines are reduced by 1 point for the same period. Hatchlings can't select this proficiency.
