They get basically the same PSP's and power picks as the awakened mind, so they'll be tossing out implosions at 17th level as well. They shouldnt equal a hybrid warrior type in melee because they far excel them in casting.... err psioning.  It wasnt the extra attack I was necessarily taking issue with (I think favored souls get it too), it was comparing them to a hybrid half caster/half warrior, or expecting them to get significantly less power points than an awakened mind to pay for significantly ramped up combat abilities. They cant do that with the current class chassis, at least easily. It does make the most sense to tie it to an immortal subclass feature than a power that the awakened mind can use.  I had thought about expending focus to get an extra attack, but that's really fiddly remembering that "hey, normally I have a +1 to hit from psi weapon's focus, except for my extra attack and any AOO's I make until I regain it at the start of my turn." It they capped Lethal Strike at maybe 3PSP per strike (vs the 5 it is now IIRC), I think just giving them extra attack would work OK.  Maybe just replace their d8 bonus damage with that, or move the d8 to a later level?</blockquote>
