(Within Reason: IIRC, only personal effects can be stored/all targets are the wearer. It's been a while since anyone actually MADE a tattoo...)

<p>I'm not sure what you're asking for Flexible form.</p>

I <b>might</b> make a case by case basis decision based on the performance of the group, power requested, and associated balance of power within the party vs what I've been able to throw at them. NOTE: I've allowed things in the past, and later asked the player to swap the thing to something else.

</blockquote><p>- I read this as 1/2 Tier, per die. So, Tier 4, with 3d6 base Disruption, would add 6 damage.I have run more than a couple games with DSP Psionics, and consider myself a fan of the systems.

<p>Questions on Mythic and Cryptic: </p>
<p>I found a reference to previously issued errata that said a Cryptic's Enhance Tattoo also augmented the power up to ML. I cannot find that errata itself, though. URL of missing page (taken down several years ago, Wayback Machine does not have it): http://dreamscarredpress.com/dragonfly/ForumsPro/viewtopic/t=2206/highlight =enhance+tattoo.html </p>
<p>In general, would Enhance Psionic Items Mythic Path Ability or the Mythic Merge Designs Feat (add half / all of mythic tier to ML respectively) also augment the power? What about the Flexible Form path ability, or similar abilities that allow 1 Mythic Power to duplicate a casting of a power?</p>
<p>Would the Expansive Understanding Mythic Path Ability allow a 6th level Psionic (Cryptic, Psychic Warrior, etc) to select 7-9th level powers and use their PP on them?</p>
<p>Finally, there seems to be a typo under Mythic Improved Disruption. Is that 1 point per die up to a maximum of half your tier, or is it half your tier points of damage per die?</p>
<p>DSP seems to spread errata out, so it's quite possible I missed an official response to these. I have not been able to find anything despite looking.</p>Ran across a few oddities that I hope to get some advice on.
