I have one concern- as written, the Dreamwalker would SEEM to work with non-Psi powers, but there have been other bits of rules text that seemed to be broad but were subsequently erratad, like Sacrifice to Caiphon. Do you know of anything that says Dreamwalker can only use your Psionic powers?

The Compendium only specifies "a psionic attack", so I think you'll be okay.

I'm not following you there: are you saying it can only use psionic powers through the Dream Form- IOW, is it similar to the Shaper Psion's Shaped Consciousness that is limited to being a conduit for psion powers- or does "you can use powers as if you were there" mean the Dream Form can use whatever kind of powers you have, psionic or not?

Oops, I wasn't looking at the Manifest Dream Form power. My comments were referring to the 11th and 16th level path features. Those path features indicate that they are used in conjuction only with psionic attack power.

Regarding the Dream Form, it says "You can see and hear as if you were in your dream form's square, and you can use powers as if you were there." So I think that means you can use any powers through the dream form.

Here's where I am at this point: I've narrowed my PC's advancement to two potential paths.

Currently, he has:

1: Disciplined Talent- MC: Psion
2: Imp. Fate of the Void

As he levels up, he'll take these 4 (no particular order):

3: Sacrifice to Caiphon (DMA p50)
4: Hidden Sniper (HotFK p315)
5: Awakened Potential (PSP p141)
6: Psionic Toughness (PSP p134); Awakened potential is a prereq for this feat for this PC

Then we get to this:

6 PARAGON FEATS:
1: Dwarven Durability
2: Psionic Dabbler <Lvl 14 feat- Lvl13 power: Void Shard, PHB3 p93> (PHB3 p194)

Pick 4 more from one of the lists below, based on Paragon Path option chosen:

A) Dreamwalker (PHB3 p94)
1: Adept Power <Lvl 11 Feat; Lvl 9 power <Summon Phantasmal Killer PSP p91>
2: Focused Talent: Shaper (PSP p141)
3: Acolyte Power <Intellect Prism PSP p89>
4: Gritty Determination
5: Twofold Curse

B) Master of the Starry Night (AP p93)
1: Gritty Determination (PHB3 p188)
2: Acolyte Power <Intellect Prism PSP p89>
3: Adept Power <Summon Phantasmal Killer PSP p91>
4: Twofold Pact: Infernal Pact (DMA p50)
5: Durable
6: Twofold Curse

Dreamwalker let's you have all kinds of oddball attack angles while MoSN has more accuracy and reliability in it. Both seem rock solid from a RP standpoint.

Thoughts on this?

It all looks pretty solid to me! Although I think Dreamwalker is the most appropriate choice. (But that's just so I can live vicariously. What a cool class!)
