Get 'If Thoughts Could Kill' and 'Mindscapes'. Check out The Minds Eye on the wizards website often and read all of the back articles.Tons of great ideas, and anyone could make a decent psion at that point. While at the same time still being less spatbooks than most people I've seen for any other character class (save those characters I've seen no one play <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> )So to sum up, there are some abuses but those are easily remedied and very very specific in how to get there. They can make just about any character you want with appropriate feat and power choices. While at the same time adding interesting flavor to the campaign. If someone feels way underpowered make another post here or on the wizards psionics board and see what people have to say. Same goes if you feel they are way overpowered, but at that point I would suggest sticking to the psionics board, people tend to give better responses about psions in general there.At some point I may even run a campaign without clerics and wizards. Instead just go with psions of various types, it would be very interesting indeed.</blockquote>
