[QUOTE="Phasics, post: 3084174, member: 38866"] Its all in the discipline you choose and dont forget INT is your primary stat so pump it whenever you can beucase more power point per day is what you need as a psion. Now you DONT want to be a tank or damage dealer so thats fine just DONT pick EGOIST (PSYCHOMETABOLISM) tanking KINETICIST (PSYCHOKINESIS) BIG DMG wide variety of damage types lesser extent SHAPER (METACREATIVITY) basically equiv to a summon monster speciilist ok so whats left NOMAD (PSYCHOPORTATION) Fast group travelling they'll LOVE YOU ! Astal caravan = FUN SEER (CLAIRSENTIENCE) you become the point man who stands behind the tanks :) TELEPATH (TELEPATHY) great for getting the info and for convincing the stupid tanks that the rare treasure is rightfully yours All three of thoes can be cool and intersting in their own way it just depends what you want to play. NOMAD defintly opens up planr travel to the whole group which is very cool if your intersted in doing that. as for basic play starting at level 4 Basic bread and butter Energy Ray or Crystal shard 1d6/point, for you at lv4 4d6 costing 4 points , but you can talor blasts depning on your enemies e.g. lots of weak enemies use 1d6 or 2d6 blasts to save power points (you can do nearly any type of energy damge or Pericing damge !!!! ) Force Screen/Interial armour Your staple source of AC inerital armour costs 1 point and lasts 1hr/lv i.e. you can stay covered at lv4 by spending 6 points a day (i.e. use every 4 hrs ) Skate Handy for an extra 15feet/round in combat keep you out of harms way (add this to speed of thought FEAT +10feet round and you can do 55feet/round at level 1 !) Bolt Cheap way to get enchanted arrows for you and you party Share Pain Let the tank in your party soak up some of your damage keep you alive longer :) Biofeedback Damage reduction 2/- and agumentable , what can i say but very handy Everything else is up to you the 1st level powers list is quite large and most of the powers are augmentable and scale with level so you really cant go wrong. can be worth while burning a feat to get light armour since there no casting failure for powers in armour. the rest is up to you but choose powers that suit the role and indeed the role play you want to fill in the group. the few basics I've mentioned will just make sure you can alwys directly contribute in combat.
