(Monk/Assasins make sense as personal enforcers)  Improved Feint, Combat Reflexes, and Improved Trip will pay dividends.  If the characters are not vulnerable to their psionics, why make them psionic?      Tonight, I will take a closer look at my rulebooks and the stat blocks selected for the foes.  I am working from school right now and don't have my references in front of me.</blockquote>
