I normally did it against a prone opponent, or by charging an opponent while an ally had flank. 4D6+3 points of damage (14 Str) is nothing to sneeze at during the lower levels, especially with the +2 to hit with Str which offsets the BAB loss a little. And, I have since picked up a +1 Greatsword, so it’s even nicer. At low level, I can run out of PP, but I can always regain my focus, at least out of combat as long as I have 1 PP left over.Astral Construct because, well, astral constructs are cool (I especially like being flown around by them).Psionic Mediation allows me to often Psionic Weapon every other round now. 5-foot step back, two attempts at getting back my psionic focus, move back in and attack next round (if my opponent has not come at me in the meantime). And if my opponent is still 10 feet away and has not moved back in, I get 3 attempts to regain the psion focus and still attack big every other round. Course, I normally do not do this unless my opponent appears to have DR (a 2D6+4 attempt every round is better than a 4D6+4 attempt every other round).It also allows me to Empower Power almost every round if I want to.Empower Power was mostly a set up for higher level. Even at 7th level, I do slightly more damage with my Energy Ray and Energy Bolt with it. But, typically not enough extra to burn up the psionic focus yet.I especially want Empower Power for Ego Whip in the future. How do you take out a Barbarian, Bard, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, or Warmage? With an Empowered, Power Specialization, Greater Power Specialization, Ego Whip. Often, in a single round except for the Bard, Sorcerer, and Warmage who you merely take out their higher level (and sometimes most of their) spells in a single round.How do I get all of this in the future? At 10th level, shortly before going to 11th level, I will be using Psychic Reformation to switch around a bunch of my powers and feats, and then become a Slayer out of the SRD (enemy Inspired) at 11th level. I will be dropping Martial Weapon - Greatsword and possibly Psionic Weapon (not sure yet on this) and taking the Track feat. With the 9th and 10th level feats, this allows me to also get Weapon Focus Ray and minimally Power Specialization and as a Slayer, I can still use my Greatsword if necessary.I doubt our campaign will last that long (one of our players will be leaving for Germany at the end of the summer), but I can always dream. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
