Oh, and you may not want to tell your player this but if they take the Overchannel feat they can make this stronger. It lets you up your manifester level (Letting you spend more points) by 1-3 (Depending on your level) but at the cost of taking damage. But in that moment damage doesn't matter. XD

But then again forbidding that feat there because they are already dying would be fair. XD

Oh, and I forgot to say but I'm not sure how them having a second Psionic Focus matters here, aside from letting them expend it for normal things but still keep focus so they can use this ability. I don't think you need Focus to spend extra points to augment a power, the only way it would be useful is if he wanted to use a metapsionic feat like Persistent Power (Takes 2 power points so the DC is one lower but forces the target to make the save twice) while using DIOTB.

Thanks so much for the response! And great catch and explaination!

I think the extra psionic focus was another feat that allowed him to augment the DC, because True Mind Switch doesn't explicitly mention augmenting the power to up its DC. So my player was thinking he'd need the Endowed mind feat to up the DC, which makes sense to me (i think.. lol). i went and looked at my digital copy of the book and true mind switch doesn't mention any ability to augment it. So he would need a second psionic focus that he could maintain in order to use the ability and up the DC, right or am i missing something else?

The thought of the 24 points to pump the spell would be if there were no initial cost, so what you're saying makes sense that he'd want to keep it odd because rounding down.

One of my players wants to play a psion and is looking at playing a body snatcher. Before he makes that decision I wanted to get some clarity on how its ability "Death is only the beginning" works (the PrC is available publicly on pfsrd).

In the ability description it is clear that the player expends their psionic focus, and that the power is manifested at the level of mind switch (6th level power). What is not clear to me is whether or not the psionic focus consumption is all that it takes to cast the spell, or if the psionic focus just allows it to be cast as an immediate action and then the player has to pay the power points to cast the spell on top of that.

The reason this came up and matters is that there's a series of feats that allow the player to basically get a second psionic focus and maintain the focus to augment the power. If it still costs 17 power points (PP) than he could only slightly buff the DC, by dumping 2 PP per +1DC up to a max of 24 PP for the spell (because of another class feature it is a cap of 24 instead of 20). The bonus either runs from a max of +3 to the DC or a max of + 12 to the DC which is a huge difference, but the DC is already low (at 20th level its 10+6-4+int).

On one hand I don't want my player to be able to get to the point that the save is so ridiculous that he can't fail and begins playing the game as a "not if i kill me first" simulator, but on the other, I do want my players to be able to have nice things, and the concept could be fun. I just don't want to run into an issue where i've allowed something that I shouldn't have and it gets out of hand.

Page 17:

"Your character’s land speed at the beginning of play is 30 feet, unless she has an ability that modifies it (or penalties from armor or encumbrance). See Chapter 8 for more information on speed and movement."

Wow! looked at that page multiple times and just missed it apparently.

Medium and Small races are both 30'. The only race in the rulebook that has a 20' movement rate are dwarves.

Thank you.

As a follow up is there anywhere in the book that specifically clarifies this (page number(s) would be excellent!)?

I could use some move speed clarity I can't seem to find in the core rulebook. All I'm seeing are assumptions and generalizations. What is the base movespeed for each race in Starfinder?

The only entry on movement speeds I can find is that it depends on your race, but usually a medium sized creature has a movement speed of 30ft. I don't see anything listed for small races at all.

I would assume small races move at 20ft and medium races move at 30ft unless otherwise noted, but I can't even find that ruling in the core rulebook. Do small races now move at 30ft?

The only race that I can find a clear movement speed for is dwarves.

I would love some help utilizing the Insinuator's ambitious bond for a outsider servant. If this ability is to actually function like the antipaladin's fiendish boon but with the restrictions that I can only summon an outsider that shares the alignment of the patron outsider I invoked that day, then by RAW is there nothing that I can summon if my invoked patron happens to be a devil during when i gain this ability at level 5? (it emulates summon monster 3 in this case to summon a lawful evil outsider).

Are there more generic guidelines I can present to my GM about summon monster that would include devils like imps for earlier progressions of summon monster?

Any help either with my understanding of this ability or how to generalize it so that it actually fills the versatile space it feels like it ought to would be greatly appreciated!

Insinuator archetype is from agents of evil, and antipaladins are in the advanced player's guide if anyone is looking for the sources.

I was reading over Distant Worlds to help me prepare for starfinder and through my reading realized that Golarion is, or was the key to Rovagug's imprisonment. During the gap when Golarion went missing would Rovagug have been set free?
If so what horrors might he have brought about through the cosmos?

Anyone's thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated!
