Saving throw penalties should never be based on an ability score. Unfortunately due to the fact that save penalties stack in general, I'd also just avoid ever using the mechanic on anything.

I like the concepts and flavor of the powers, at any rate. Not really sure what classes they match up to, though. Maybe some sort of Psyblade type class.
