[suggestion] psionic focus [CLOSED]

[PowerRongeur]

Question: Does a gladiator starts being psionically focused or must he roll during his first round to become focused?

Reading the rules, I would be inclined to say he starts focused since he can do it at anytime of the day.

Judging from the fact that spellcasters will have spells removed, there is evidence that any focus could be lost in the process, thus equalizing psionics a little by forcing a psionics user to focus at the start of a combat. I would rule that they start unfocused. At least, that is my vote

Gain Psionic Focus: Merely holding a reservoir of psionic power points in mind gives psionic characters a special energy. Psionic characters can put that energy to work without actually paying a power points cost - they can become psionically focused as a special use of the Concentration skill.

If you have 1 or more power points available, you can meditate to become focused. The DC is 20 to become focused. Meditating is a full-round action that provokes AoO.

Bu what I read here, and the fact that in the rules it's clear that you are subject to a disruptor that removes all magical effect, psionic included, no, you cannot enter a match already focused.

Based on shai's post, who seems to have snuck (is this a word?) in under stealth mode that I failed in detecting, and the fact that mine is along the same line, the ruling here seems to be e clear NO.

Consider the Gladiator sent to his starting position via special version of a SPELL teleport/dimension door - all magical spell effects on him are removed AND he's a bit confused just before he plays

I agree with shai/Duni

So move to motion that they start NOT focused.
