[Dalamar]

If you went the way the powers are in PsiHB, they couldn't have a damage plus and would deal 3d4, 5d4, 7d4, 9d4 and 11d4, respectively.
You probably want to change to 'Area of Effect: 5ft wide line extending to maximum range' instead of 'Target: Line'.

Psionics never, never NEVER SCALE. Go with Dalamar's suggestions, and your good to go. If you made it single target touch attack, or single target Ref half, do the same thing but jmake the damage dice d6.
