It sounds damned unlikelyAlso don't bother comparing anything from 2nd ed to current pathfinder based rules, 2nd ed was a hugely different game.If he's wielding his glaive then he will get an attack of opportunity when an enemy moves from 2 squares away from the character to the adjacent square unless it's a 5' step, there is some special rule for the monster or there is something affecting the character so he doesn't threaten(1/round unless he has combat reflexes)So functionally he's pretty close to accurate in his summaryI think the best thing to do would be to 1) read the basics of the combat section2) sit down with the player of the psion and go over each power, class ability and feat he has with the book there, also get the basics of how the class works (for example what psionic focus is)They should give you a bit more of a handle on what he's trying to do.</blockquote>
