12-10-07, 04:04 PM Yes, through the Expanded Knowledge feat or independent research (page 64 of the Expanded Psionics Handbook).

There's also the Mantled Warrior expanded class option from The Mind's Eye. (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20070214a)You'll need Complete Psionic if you want to use it. The Force mantle has TK force, TK maneuver, and other telekinetic force-effect powers on it's list

If you want to make a new Jedi-ish class based on the psiwar, then go ahead. There are guidlines in the DMG for swapping out class features. Generally, you can swap class features for any similarly-powered class features (e.g., bard, monk, and psywar are all around the same power level). Avoid cherry-picking class features/powers, or making a class that's just your character. Also see the link in my sig.

12-10-07, 04:11 PM Ugh. I don't understand why anyone wants to play a Jedi-like character in D&D. If you want to play a Jedi, play Star Wars.

That said, a psychic warrior really doesn't have enough power points to make frakking around with telekinesis powers worthwhile in the vast majority of circumstances. There are good suggestions above if you want to go for it, but I, personally, wouldn't recommend it.

12-10-07, 07:48 PM The only game I can find people playing locally is D&D. I would LOVE to play Star Wars. I would *love* to play several WW games. Not happening in tabletop. I have to get my fix of the others online.

I'm just saying, "Go play Star Wars" isn't that helpful a response.

12-10-07, 07:58 PM Can't find one? Run one. I bet if you said to some local gamers, "Wanna play Star Wars?" you'd find a lot of interest.

People have different tastes and interests. I, for instance, don't understand why anybody would want to play an Evil character, or an Elf, or a Bard ... but people do, and people have fun with it, and that's what counts.
