The 3.5 psionics are a lot to get through, you might want to start with a rogue since that is in your path and if he decides 3.5 psionics are not to his taste after reading through them you still have a viable character, either a straight rogue or a rogue 3.0 psychic warrior.
A rogue fits in fine with a melee fighter and a cleric. It's even iconic.

I did recieve those files, and started to go through them, but it'll take time. Go ahead with your plans and post your character so we can start moving ahead.
Cheers!

xeph reference
for reference from the 3.5 srd
XEPHS
• +2 Dexterity, –2 Strength
• Medium: As Medium creatures, xephs have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
• Xeph base land speed is 30 feet.
• Darkvision out to 60 feet.
• +1 racial bonus on saving throws against powers, spells, and spell-like effects. Xephs have an innate resistance to psionics and magic.
• Naturally Psionic: Xephs gain 1 bonus power point at 1st level. This benefit does not grant them the ability to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class.
• Burst (Su): Three times per day, a xeph can put on a burst of speed to increase her speed by 10 feet, plus 10 feet per four character levels beyond 1st, to a maximum increase of 30 feet at 9th character level and higher. These bursts of speed are considered a competence bonus to the xeph’s base speed. A burst of speed lasts 3 rounds.
• Automatic Languages: Common, Xeph. Bonus Languages: Draconic, Elven, Gnoll, Goblin, Halfling, Sylvan.
• Favored Class: Soulknife.

Komodo, it looks like you used 4d6 and added them all up since you have multiple scores above 18 in a first level character. I believe it was 4d6 (reroll ones once) and take the best three so you still have maximums of 18 before racial adjustments.
Or Mithreander, did I misinterpret the creation guidelines and should add a d6 to each of my stats except the low one that became an 18?

O comeon now! A new race beyond... that's not in the monster manual!? Sure, the SRD description is all fine and good... but what the heck are they, and why should I even consider adding them to my game?
Yes, keep any of the 3 dice... I don't care if they are the highest or not, but assumed that they would be. Sorry, thought that was a no-brainer... but that was not the first time that issue came up, so my fault for not being more specific.
Since that IS the case, I'll look at your character as soon as:
a) you can send me a reason to include this new race into my compagne and send a complete list of details for the race (behavior patterns, ecology, description, etc.)
b) correct you ability scores to reflect the loss of one of the d6.
and c) My blood pressure goes down from all of these demands for material from alternate sources that I had not been aware of! (I can begin to see why most do not include psionics in their PBP games!)

Alright, then. Since it seems you really have no reference to work with for the Xeph, I'll just change to Elf. They've got the same abilty mods, so not much will change. Oh, and I'll reroll my stats, as well. That's gonna change things, but it's 2 in the morning and I've stopped caring about personal comfort.
