Meta-Magic feats are tools to help a character alter and augment the properties of a technique to a certain degree,
enabling them to be far more versatile than they could otherwise be.
The when applying a meta-magic feat to a technique, its perform requirements increase by an amount specified in the feat description. If the perform requirements of a technique was increased by 3, simply increase the skill threshold by 3. When increasing the perform DCs component, increase the complexity rating rather than the DC itself. When calculating the cost of an enhanced technique, simply add or subtract from the cost as advised.
Using a metamagic feat must be declared before using the technique, and costs 1 "charge". A character starts with 0 meta-magic charges & gains an additional 1 per metamagic feat he takes. Charges are restored after 8 hours of rest, up to once every 24 hours, any effect that prevents control regeneration due to rest also disrupts the regeneration of metamagic charges.
You have great control over your puppets and can reanimate them in the blink of an eye.

Benefit:
The character can reanimate a puppet that was deanimated from a failed

He is also able to expend a meta-magic charge to convert his blood into chakra, dealing himself 1d4 points of damage to reduce the Control cost of a technique by that amount x2(to a minimum of 1), which can be increased to +1 dice added on per 3 ranks the spell possesses, a rank 1 spell could be reduced by up to 8 (to a minimum of 1 to cast) costing 4 hitpoints; while a rank 4 spell could be reduced by 16 (to a minimum of 1 to cast) while costing 8 hitpoints.

Your powers sometimes bypass barriers.
Benefit: To use this feat, you must expend your psionic focus. You can attempt to manifest your powers against targets that are sheltered behind a wall or force effect. Your power briefly skips through the hyperspace to bypass the barrier.
The strength and thickness of the barrier determine your chance of success.
To successfully bypass the barrier with your power, you make a Telekinesis or Telepathy check (the type of ability determines the check) against a DC equal to 10 + the hardness of the barrier + 1 per foot of thickness (minimum 1). Assign a hardness of 20 to barriers without a hardness rating, such as force effects (or a wall of ectoplasm).
Force walls or walls of ectoplasm are assumed to have less than 1 foot of thickness unless noted otherwise. If a power requires line of sight (which includes most powers that affect a target or targets instead of an area), you cannot manifest it as a burrowing power unless you can somehow see the target, such as with clairvoyant sense.
