Psion is much better. You don't need to rely on Cha as a Trallherd.

in the long shot a wilder is better because you will get such a good saving DC that almos nobody will get pass it. I have a build i will post next week that gets DOminate twinned (if you pass the first DC... just by a slight chance.. guess what! you have to pass it again!!!) with 32 DC, at 15th-16th level.

Depends on what you want. Psion has more powers (just don't pick Telepath as your discipline ... too much overlap with Thrallheard powers) ... Wilder has better BAB, HP, & Skills + some nifty class features.

If you want to be a behind the scenes manipulator for instance I would pick wilder for the Cha and skills to support it.

If you want to be able to do lots of stuff then I would pick Psion since they are more versitile.

If you want to play a wilders, teh first thing you need to do is to convince the DM that they need to get 1 powwer at every level. That makes them on par w/ psions, more or less. Well, it makes them as on par as sorcers are on par w/ wizards.....

argent savant is a good 5 level prc to take however for sorcerer it limits the spells because of the requirements for the class.
the other way you could go is gish sorcerer,fighter,eldricth knight and spellsword. and simple get arcane strike and blooddurn feats. it is a semi broken way to do it and won't look like you are min/maxing, while your character will be good at his job he will not be the max that he could be if you built him yourself.
