I take your point, but I'd typically prefer 1 feat of choice to 2 "feats" that are chosen for me. In any case, I don't see a huge problem with front-loading the Psion a bit more.2) Yes. Actually, I think that this is a problem with the XPH (essentially, that most of the weaker abilities will never see play, since any PC will use at most a tiny handful of powers/level). However, were I to give Psions more power, I'd limit it severely. How about:Feat: With a concentration check (DC 25+ Power level), A Psion may concentrate for 1 minute to temporarily gain a single power. This power must be manifested at most once in the next hour, and for the purposes of manifesting this power, the Psion's Manifester Level is halved. If any other power is manifested prior to this one, the psion looses the ability to manifest this until used again. This ability may be used at most once/day.As a side note, giving the above feat as a bonus feat at LV 1 would amiliorate your concern #1.3) I'm afraid that I don't agree here. Autoscaling in a point-based system is nasty. Frankly, I'd more tend to take away (or severely limit) autoscaling for slot-based casters than give it to point-based casters.4a) I agree. To counterbalance this, I'd give slot-based casters the effect of Heighten Spell for free.</blockquote>
