I've taken a huge axe to the powers list, so these guys aren't going to be hitting nearly as hard (or as often). Thus, I think that the Feats are integral to the class -- that's where a significant portion of their combat ability is going to come from.What's wrong with letting people choose these feats for themselves? You're willing to give away two of the more powerful ones -- one which has requirements that don't play to the strengths of the Mind Thief. (Giving away Deep Impact -- which has moderate requirements, which in turn are NOT in tune with the Mind Thief's strengths -- is overpowered.)Whaaaa? Give them a STRONGER key stat? I thought you were trying to tone them down from being "overpowered"...Again, don't compare them to "Rogue -2", compare them to Bards. They need Concentration & Psicraft, and probably tempted by Autohypnosis, so they've effectively got 4 skill points left.Basically, they have the skill points to be any two of: sneaky guy, trap guy, athletic guy, personality guy. A real Rogue could do all four. So they're more like a Rogue/2, and don't need to lose skill points.That was my first thought, but I couldn't decide if they should be forced to expend their focus before or after they find out if they've missed the roll, and if after, if they get to know how much damage they would otherwise take. It's easier mechanically to have players expend focus in more discrete situations.I would consider moving Improved Psi Evasion into a Feat... but of course then it's important that they keep the bonus feats. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Just your vision.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  They've got Trapfinding. I don't think that giving them extra weapon proficencies would cure their "overpowered"-ness. I think that a level of a warrior-class (including Monk) should grant these guys significant benefits -- they are intended to be weaker combatants than Rogues, and with feats like Psionic Weapon available, that's tough.A clearer way to say it is: "Like a Psychic Warrior, a Mind Thief gains only Bonus Power Points at 1st level." Make sense now? -- N</blockquote>
