Psion Domain: Please offer suggestions

[Mrs. Dungeon Master]

Here is what I have come up with so far, but have heard that this might be to powerful. Please rather than just stating this is out of balance, offer suggestions on how to fix, or what to change to make it more workable

Psion Domain
Dieties:
Granted Power: You can the ability to manifest talents as a Psion. You know two talent at 1st level and gain another talent every odd level thereafter until a max of 10 talents are known. You may manifest talents up to 1 talent per level + wis modifier per day.

Psion Domain Spells
1. Empathic Transfer
2. Body Adjustment
3. Crisis of Breath
4. Fate of One
5. Metamorphosis
6. Shield of Prudence
7. True Concussion
8. Dream Travel
9. Temporal Velocity


Thank you

It seems like most granted powers for domains only are usable once per day, and are really of a minor ability. Perhaps just letting the priest gain a single level 1 psion talent and no additional talents will balence the domain a little. You dont really need to include additional talents as the priest levels because it would seem like such a priest would already have levels of Psion.
Good luck

Actually, I was trying to design for a straight priest. No multi-classing as the basis anyway

Thanks

I agree that more than one talent is way more powerful than most of the other domains' granted powers.

Good idea, just needs a little tweaking.

I disagree that being able to cast talents is unbalanced. They are just 0-level abilities, so you have to get multiples of them to be balanced against the domain abilities that are either constant (healing, war) but fairly weak or limited use but powerful (luck, travel). On the other hand, I'm not convinced that just giving lots of talents is the best choice flavor-wise, as what you can accomplish with talents isn't really all that different than what you can do with orisons. Instead, you might want to think about giving access to some of the psionic skills.

As far as the spells go, it looks like you just picked a bunch of the powers from the psion list that look particularly useful, rather than trying to narrow down the theme. I would suggest either following the example of the magic domain and taking powers that directly relate to psionics or are especially typical of psionics, such as detect psionics, negate psionics, identify, mindlink, sense psychic impressions, catapsi, sense psionics, null psionics field, emulate power, contingency, power turning, reddopsi, etc. or keep with the division in the psiHB and have separate domains for each discipline.
