Best Psion Discipline Along With Other Things

[Carpe DM]

A build that has been devastating for us has been:

Psion Egoist --> Anarchic Initiate,

with Metamorphosis, Metamorphic Transfer.

Turn into a Phasm, then into a Pit Fiend using Metamorphic Transfer. Now, feel free to do anything else you want. The Anarchic Initiate abilities overwhelmingly turn out to give you a huge powerboost.

Where would I find Anarchic Initiate

Where would I find Anarchic Initiate

Complete Psionic.

Gives a Non-wilder: Wild Surge but since no wilder levels no enervation issues technically (unless I missed where Anarchic Iniatiate counts as one for Wild Surge penalty).

Wouldn't Overchannel achieve the same thing?

Overchannel cost hps...but yeah.

Well thanks guys,
I'm gonna make an egoist and then take Metamorphic Transfer once or twice.
You've been a lot of help.

Also the rules changed on astral constructs (see Complete Psionic) so that you can only have 1 astral construct in existance at a time.

Of course, many people ignore that rule modification in Complete Psionic, since summons are not under the same restriction.

Here's a tactic every psion should utilize: Death Urge on a low Will save baddie in round 1, then use Deja Vu in subsequent rounds to cause the bad guy to beat himself to death. It could result in a heavy expenditure of psi points if the baddie gets lucky and makes the save, but will utterly terrify the DM if it works. A 7th level psion killed a CR 12 Purple Worm ALL BY HERSELF this way in a game I played.
