I can't really seem to find clarification on this. I'm playing a Marksman in a Pathfinder campaign, it's my first time using psionics, and I'm trying to figure out how augments work in the event there are multiple augment options. For example, here's the augmentation for the Precognition, Defensive:
You can augment this power in one or both of the following ways.
For every 3 additional power points you spend, the insight bonus
gained increases by 1.If you spend 6 additional power points, you can manifest this power as
a swift action
If I spend 6 power points to manifest as a swift action, does that automatically count as also spending 2 x 3 additional points for the insight bonus? So, spending 6 additional points gets me 2 insight bonuses plus I can manifest it as the swift action? Or do I need to spend 12 points to get the same effect?
Best Answer
In your example, you would need to spend 12 additional power points to both manifest as a swift action and increase the bonus by 2.
This is addressed in the "Psionic powers" overview, at the very bottom.
