These powers would be useful in the short run but not so useful in the long run since you could not gain any later versions of these powers as you only have an 11 Str.For offensive or hindering powers, you mgiht want to get Demoralize or Disable, being Cha-based powers and thus the Save DCs will be highest since telepathy powers are based on Charisma. Stomp is a good delaying tactic, such as if you need to make a path to escape, and not allowing any spell/power resistance rolls to resist.Lastly, don't forget the automatic psionic attacks and defenses. And remember, Save DC modifiers and the max level you power you can use of a discipline use different attributes based on the discipline of the power chosen.</blockquote>
