Starting a new game where I plan to play a 7th level Psion(Erudite) and I waned to ask your opinion on what useful powers, feats, skills, and equiptment I should take. My DM allows any WotC v3.5 book. We play in a FR setting so no Ebberon. Any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The character I plan to play is an Elan, but I've never heard of an Ethergaunt. What is it exactly and what are the requirements to become one?

Was are the best ways for a 6th level character with 13,000gp to boost his intelligence? I already know about the Headband of Intellect +2 (4000gp), but are there any others that could help me?

I am playing in an FR campaign where the magic-psionics transparency rule is in effect. In such a campaign, is Spellcraft the same thing as Psicraft or are they totally different skills. Does anyone know where in the rules this is stated?

The psionic PrC Slayer has an ability called Cerebral Blind (Su). Here is the description from the SRD: "Cerebral Blind (Su): After reaching 6th level, a slayer is protected from all devices, powers, and spells that reveal location. This ability protects against information gathering by...

Really? Wow, this is news to me as well. I first read about the class from the SRD which states 5% per level, which made me think the class was pretty useless as you approach epic. however this makes it a lot more palatable. Still though, that means that at 20th level you will have a 25%...

But like EricNoah also said, the feat Psionic Meditation allows a psion to regain focus by giving up his move action for the round. So during the second round, when the psion is manifesting whatever offensive power he chooses, all he has to do is stay still and he will automatically get focused.

A tricky situation recently came up that I wanted to get some clarification on concerning readied actions. The first part of my question deal with when a readied action occurrs in relation to the action which triggers it. The SRD says of readied actions: "you may take the readied action in...

But is it possible for the psions opponents to ready an action against something they cannot detect. it's easy to ready an action against a wizard because he has to reach for his components or say something, but a psion can manifest a power as a purely mental action giving no visible signs that...

According to the definition of a readied action in the SRD: "The action occurs just before the action that triggers it". How is that possible if the trigger is the ending of the power? Doesn't the power have to end before I can react to it ending? It's like saying "I ready an action to runn...

What about this twist: The psion is not able to remainfest the power on himself while the current power is active, but what if he readies an action to remanifest once the power ends. So for his turn he readies the power, his turn ends, he remanifests the power, continuous coverage. Would this...

OK, so we have determined that the psion in question cannot recast this power when it is already in effect since it lasts until the end of his turn. Could the psion ready an action to recast the power when the original casting expired? Would that keep him covered continuously?

Think about this spell in action though. A psion has just manifested this power. A warrior comes over and swings at his head with his sword. The psion doesn't get a scratch, doesn't get knocked back, doesn't even flinch. Now if a sword to the head doesn't do anything are you telling me that...

I think Antimagic field (or disjunction) should work as well, but as written it seems like it wouldn't overcome it. I still disagree on grappling/pinning him. You can argue that pinning him isn't harmful since he's just being held in place, but in order to grapple him you need to perform an...

Good responses so far. Let me clarify some things: 1) I play in a Forgotten Realms campaign setting where the magic-psionics transparency rule is in effect, so anything that says "spells" also applies for "Psionics" 2) As far as I know a Psion can use metapowers on a 9th level power so long as...

If a 20th level psion manifests the power Timeless Body it protects him from all attacks and spells until the end of his next turn. If he uses the Extend Power metapower on it then it lasts for two turns, essentially letting him do something else (like attack) on his second turn and still be...

Pardom me if this is a dumb question but I'm pretty new to playing. When I started a few months ago I thought the only books for psions were the XPH and CP. In another thread I just heard about another book, Hyperconscious, and I was wondering if there might be any more books out there that I...

Has anyone ever played a Crystal Master or Mediant? I looked those up on the web and they look great. The meditations a Meditant uses give all kinds of great bonuses, you eventually can become ethereal, and you only give up 1 level (it is pretty feat intensive to get into though). Crystal...

I have looked in the XPH and can't find any power that would make a psion invisible. Is there such a power or is this reserved for spellcasters? If there is no such power a psionic can take, can you recommend any good magical items which can reproduce this effect?

OK, so the general consensus is that no spells can pass through a Prismatic Sphere. If that's the case, when what is the real benefit of this spell? It just seems like if an enemy knows that I just cast it, they can just wait me out since I really cant do anything while I'm in there. Is there...
