You can readjust your body to boost one physical ability score at the expense of one or more other scores. Select one physical ability score you would like to boost, and increase it by the same amount that you decrease one or more of your other five ability scores. All score decreases are treated as ability burn.
You can boost your Strength, Dexterity or Constitution score by a maximum amount equal to your manifester level (or any lesser amount), assuming you can afford to burn your other ability scores to such an extent.
When the duration of this power expires, your ability boost also ends, but your ability burn remains until it is healed naturally.
Augment
You can augment this power in one or more of the following ways.
- If you spend 2 additional power points, the ability burn you suffer to increase another score is delayed until the power expires.
- If you spend 4 additional power points, the power’s duration increases to 1 minute/level (D).
- If you spend 6 additional power points, the ability burn you suffer to increase another score heals when the power’s duration expires.
