I am asking with respect to the fight club article (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/fc/20070803a) here.

Namely - how the heck did its manifestor lv scale so high and so fast?:confused:

The 3 HD brain in a jar has a Manifester level of 10 for its Psi-like abilities. It looks like he added this to its Psion manifester level, which I'm pretty sure is incorrect. The creature doesn't manifest as if it were a Psion 10. It has Psi-like abilities that have a ML of 10. This special ability is just called "Psionics" in its entry, though, which probably led to the confusion/weird interpretation.

The rules on stacking racial psionics with class levels (which were misinterpreted) can be found here: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/monsters/overview.htm#creaturesWithPsionicsEntrie s
