03-19-07, 01:27 PM Let's say I'm playing a 7th level fighter who takes one level of psychic warrior. He has a Wisdom score of 16. Does he gain 1 or 8 bonus power points from having a high Wisdom and his class level?

His manifester level is 1 in psychic warrior. That's the key.

03-20-07, 12:56 AM Don't worry about it too much. As a level 1 psychic warrior, you're still limited to only one power point per manifestation (barring some oddball things), so you're not missing out on much besides higher-level powers and effects.

Psychic warrior is good for a few personal buffs and utility powers, especially ones you can manifest as a swift or immediate action (saving you time for full attacks, check out psionic lion's charge and hustle). Also try out a Deep Impact/Power Attack build. And expansion trumps enlarge person at higher levels.

However, psychic warrior really shines if you take full levels in it (form of DOOOOOOM!). As a multiclass psychic warrior, you also have access to djores and power stones of these higher-level powers, and you should take full advantage of those.
