Has it digested any? Questions, comments, concern?
Also I'm still trying to figure out if any of it can really be seen publicly, that whole Non-OGL thingy.

Really sorry for being so late in finishing up my character, but I've finally updated.
Would it be alright if I had a telepathy version of Stupor from the BoVD, it seems like it would fit that discipline well, and be of use to my character.
The trouble I had with psions was the bonus power points table (here it is from the SRD):
The question is, since Synthia has 22 Charisma, and is level 12, does she get 11 bonus power points, or 40 bonus pp (adding the pp from the previous levels), or something else entirely?
As for the item list, you just pick what you think is appropriate, only limitation would be something that can be moved around easily from form to form with her/him, and/or relating to fiendish powers and/or torturing/breaking people's wills (Synthia's past time). I'm still undecided on the equipment a bit, as I wouldn't see why they would want to have any distinctive items, as it'd be a dead giveaway to their form. Is there any chance I could get something similar to the Book of Exalted Deed's Vow of Poverty? Or something forsaking equipment...just a thought.
As for forms, I can start clean off with just one, and then build my way up with them. Question: If some one is Mindwiped to 0 levels, they're considered dead, but since its really just their mind as opposed to their body can I still Mindswitch with them? If so, can I keep using the bodies if I put Rings of Sustenance on them?
For now, they'll be using the form of a human child-could I just use Size small, and using advancement rules stats would be: Str 6, Dex 12, Con 8.

The trouble I had with psions was the bonus power points table (here it is from the SRD):
Code:
Power Points/Day: How many psionic power points the psion has access to each day.
The psion possesses a maximum number of power points equal to the given
number of power points per day plus any bonus power points per day.
“d”: A single extra power from the Psion’s primary discipline.

I think you only get 11 bonus power points. And quick tell me where's Mindwipe so I can look at it? I'll see what I can do for magic items, I'll be thinking up something unique...

Yeah, I was thinking that might be a possibility, but 11 power points is just enough PP to manifest a single extra 6th level power per day, for 22 Charisma and level 12, that isn't very much-at least compared to the amount of bonus spells that wizards/clerics/sorcerers/bards get for having high ability scores, I'm not sure though what's the correct answer-it's sortta vague.
As for Mindwipe, from the SRD (basically like Psionic version of Enervation, however it only attacks the mind not really the physical body like Enervation's negative energy does):
Mindwipe
Telepathy (Cha)
Level: Psion 4
Display: Vi, Ma, Au
Manifestation Time: 1 action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One living creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
Power Resistance: Yes
Power Points: 7
This power bestows one negative level per two manifester levels (maximum five negative levels) to the subject.
If the subject has at least as many negative levels as HD, he or she dies. Each negative level gives a creature the following penalties: -1 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, ability checks, and effective level (for determining the power, duration, DC, and other details of power, spells, or special abilities). The creature also loses 5 hit points. Additionally, a psionic character or creature loses one power from his or her highest available level (a spellcaster loses one spell or spell slot from his or her highest available level). Negative levels stack.
Assuming the subject survives, he or she regains lost levels after a number of hours equal to the manifester’s manifester level. Usually, negative levels have a chance of permanently draining the subject’s levels, but the negative levels from mindwipe don’t last long enough to do so.
I'm rethinking about all those power focuses under my character's feats, as the DCs combined with psionic combat could reach insane levels, and that's not really that fun.
P.s., I'll edit out a bit of that chart so it turns this page to normal, and thanks for taking the time on everything.

Hmm... ok I can see my way to the 40 pps, so let's go with that. I'm not sure about the Mindwipe leaving the victim alive. Either they die flat out, or get very weak (if they're too high a level to die). It's pretty clear that if the negative levels exceed the hit dice, the person dies. But you could use it to weaken someone considerably, which would make them easier to subdue.
I can understand why you'd want a "stable" of bodies, but I think you're going to have to keep them bound and gagged instead of vegetative.
