Well ardent looks totally underpowered now that I have a better understanding of psionic game mechanics. Even with the more relaxed rules that my DM set it still sucks. Requiring PCs to use the few feats they get just even out their power selection AND lose points seems way too restrictive...

Either build listed will have you using invisible blade which makes great use of feints. Daring Outlaw (DnD Optimized Character Build - D&D Wiki) This is not entirely but you could change warblade and assassin for something else. Maybe your DM allows assassins, but the author of that build...

When you really look at it a dip into ardent as a pure psionic character is only good if you wish to gain access to prohibited powers and even that costs you power points in the long run. This is mainly due to the fact that most psionic classes will get access to the desired power later or at...

Go reread XPH or SRD, it clearly states that ML is equal to the sum of all the psionic classes. It is not a house rule. Practiced manifester is to increase how powerful your powers are when you have a non-manifesting classes mixed in. My DM is a lawyer and not the type to bend the rules. He...

I broke down and asked my DM and it seems seems to make sense. Manifester level stack and you can only pick powers that are equal to it total manifesting class. So a psion3/ardent1 would have a total ML of 4 and this be able to pick and power in that mantle, once he takes another lvl in ardent...

Well most psionic classes are limited by the level of the power as well, but it appears that divine mind and ardent are only affected by PP. So I can get hustle right off the bat either way, i'm happy. Thanks for the clarification. Starbucks II and you are not right on practiced manifester...

Ah so ardent lvl= point cap on what power you can use. Strange that they didn't mention that in the description. That would make it more balanced then, but still a very good dip class (hustle at lvl 1 is just too good).

Practiced manifested is only for non manifesting classes. If i had a F4/psi warrior 2 practiced manifester would allow my manifesting lvl to be 6 instead of 2. Psion is a manifesting class so for the proposes of potentcy they stack. They do not however stack when it comes to learning new...

The levels don't stack, but the power points all go to one reserve. So a lvl 3 psion and lvl 1 ardentvwould have around 20 points depending bonuses. If the rules state that the only requirement is that the ardent needs have enough points then yes a lvl 4 would have enough to cast ultrablast...

At first blush ardent seems a bit underpowered, less powers, less power points, less selections, and the powers seem to be underpowered. But then I noticed that ardent does not have a 'max power level' on its chart. And it seems to imply that an ardent can pick any power as long as he has the...
