Power Points or Unlimited Usage

[dren]

Hi everyone,

I am slowly converting my psionic creatures to 3.5 rules, but I am having trouble deciding if they should be of an unlimited powers (most creatures found in the xph) or if they should be assigned a set amount of PP, like the mind flayer.

For example, I have a powerful (12 HD) monstrous humanoid, a type of psionic mutation that has been suped up by psionics...similiar to a psionic Bane from the Batman comic books. For an 11th level Psion, they should have 106 pp and 22 powers. I have given him 15 powers and one powerful combat ability, but should he have unlimited uses or a finite number of points. Not sure how to decide.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions,
dren

Bump - any suggestions on my original posting?

Monsters have unlimited uses because it's a pain for a DM to keep track of PPs. I'd never let a monster that can be used as a PC race to have unlimited usage, but I think it's okay for most monsters, since they'll usually show up once and then die in any given combat before their PPs would run out.
