If that is the case though, you should be reaping the rewards of a virtually no Magic/Psionics transparency. Magic or Spell resistance shouldn't work against you, for instance, which means you could really kick ass against demons and so forth. That could providing a balancing element to counter your lack of magical itemsIf you are not entirely happy with that, or that isn't the case you probably have a legit gripe. Maybe you could ask your GM's if he would be willing to include a non psionic race that you could encounter. Mind flayers are always a good example. If he wants something less obvious, or less overtly campaign changing, perhaps a race of Crystalline, or Ooze Psion creatures that live in vast catacombs beneath the surface. They wouldn't move or act the way other creatures do (if they moved at all) and you might be the only being capable of communicating with them. Alternatively, maybe your GM could allow for an extinct and now long gone psionic race. They may have made psionics items that you could use - if you can find them  (and if you want to risk it).  Any of these groups could have some really nifty psionic items that, all things being equal, you would be the only person capable of using. (I'm assuming that with no magic/psionics transparency you can't use items made for wizards and vice versa)You can raise these concerns with the GM out of the game. Another way to approach it, however, is to start investigating the possiblities of other psions existed, in game, as your character. It must be very lonely being the only psion in the world, not knowing where your powers come from (I'm presuming here that this might be the case) and having no sense of kin. Why don't you have your character investigate psionics. Were there ever any famous psionicists in the past? Perhaps famous sorcerors from history were actually Psionicists. If you studied a few you could probably figure out if they were.  Are there any races that have "psionic like" abilities. You could investigate them and find out if they are or not. Finally, what about your family? Did charismatic Uncle Gregor ever do slightly odd things, that upon reflection, seem psionic? Maybe he was a Telepath!  Great Grandad Autard, the luckiest warrior alive? or maybe a psionic warrior!  The need to find other beings like you, to see who you are and if you are "not alone" could be a very powerful motivation for your character. And Your GM is maty well look more favourably  on your request if it is one driven by you character. We're odd like that.</blockquote>
