Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dave Turner" data-source="post: 1702426" data-attributes="member: 12329">That would work, Strangemonkey.  You'd still have access to the two lynchpin 2nd-level seer powers if you were a 3rd level psion.  I forgot about the kalashtar social bonuses, which would be a big help for this character.If I were choosing two psychic warrior powers and was thinking about combat ability, I would give strong consideration to claws of the beast.  It's the standard attack of the psychic warrior, with the following features:- Manifest as a swift action, which is pretty close to a free action for our purposes- Duration is 1 hour/level- You can use your hands normally while claws are manifested.- Damage scales as you pour more power points into it.  It will "grow" with your character- It gives you two natural claw attacks at no penalty.  If your regular class attack routine eventually improves past two attacks a round, this power does limit you to two attacks (at your highest bonus), but that shouldn't be a concern if you spend the rest of your career as a psion.Don't forget that inertial armor also scales as you grow, adding +1 armor per 2 PP spent.  So, at fifth manifesterlevel, you'd have a +6 armor bonus that sticks around for five hours.  I can appreciate the idea of choosing compression/expansion for general utility, but it's hard to beat claws of the beast/inertial armor as foundational combat powers.  You'll have so many power choices as you progress as a psion that you should be able to pick up compression or expansion a bit later if you choose.  You could buy some dorjes with the powers in them to test their utility out before committing a power to them as well.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
