Help with Psion

[Mokona]

I want to use D&D v.3.5 psionics to simulate a character kidnapped and replaced by fey (ie a classical story type changeling). I have two ideas and I wanted to know which one would work better. I'm also looking for advice on some feats and powers to take.

My main psionic power will be summoning Astral Constructs. Flavor-wise the Astral Constructs will be "solid" illusions of fey creatures both real and imagined. At first level the character will be a warrior-type but 2nd level and above will be Psion (Shaper) levels.

For feats I recomend:
Boost Construct
Over Channel
Talented
Psionic Meditation
????

Boost Construct is a most have for Shapers. Overchannel can be nice, allowing you to create higher level constructs sooner. Talented let's you Overchannel without taking damage, and Psionic Meditation let's you get back the fucus you expended using the Talented.

For the final feat there are a lot of good options. I tend to like psicrystals when I play psions. Psionic Body can be generally handy. Skill Focus (Concentration) could also be a good idea.

EDIT: I think either possibly character you mentioned could work. Flavorwise the halfling barbarian stirkes me more changling like then a dwarf fighter, but that's just a gut feeling.

why is the dwarf small sized?

Other than that, any chance you can get Nymphs kiss or something similar? (feat from the book of exalted deeds)

Book of Exalted Deeds

Yes, Nymph's Kiss is an option. My party already has a Vow of Poverty Clr 3/Sor 4/Mystic Theurge 1. I'd have to play a really Good-oriented character if I took an exalted feat. Initially I was planning to play up the chaotic side of my alignment more but I'm open to suggestions that include nymph's kiss.

Seems he borrowed my house rule
