Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yaarel" data-source="post: 6900775" data-attributes="member: 58172">Balancewise, three level 8 powers seems fine. And it works out about the same. Casting three of them in one battle, but once per long rest, works out roughly comparable to one per battle, but per several short rests. One is more nova-ey, the other more persistent in days with many combats. They seem roughly equal.Not a big deal. To say, an 11-point can be cast once, twice, thrice, tends to be effectively the same thing as having spell slots. Timing it by short rests helps reduce this feeling.Since the number of slots increase every two levels, the additional slot at level 17, and at level 19, seems intuitive enough. But the sixth slot at level 20 seems irregular. Maybe stick with five times at level 19, and keep 20 separate for a cool cap stone. Five 11-point castings might already be strong.Also at the level-17 tier, one 13-point slot seems unavoidable, given the concern about balance.In any case, since the two paragraphs relate to limitations about using points, they can move to the next section in the following way.PSI LIMITThough you have access to a potent amount of psionic energy, it takes  training and practice to channel that energy. There is a limit on the  number of psi points you can spend to manifest a psionic power. The  limit is based on your psion level, as shown in the Psi Limit column of  the Psion table. For example, as a 3rd-level psion, you can spend no  more than 3 psi points on a power each time you use it, no matter how  many psi points you have.   Powers that you manifest using 9 or more psi points (6th-level and  higher) are taxing. After manifesting such a power, you must finish a  long rest before you can do so again. The number of powers you can  manifest using 9 or more psi points before a long rest increases to two  when you reach 13th level, three when you reach 15th level, four when  you reach 17th level, five when you reach 19th level, and six when you  reach 20th level.    Powers that you manifest using 13 psi points (9th level) are  particularly taxing. After manifesting such a power, you must finish a  long rest before you can do so again.</blockquote>
