Can you ever go over your HP max. Example 3 lvl Psion has max hp of 10 and before the battle he uses the Vigor power and puts 2 points into the power giving him 15 hps over his max for a total 25hp. IS THIS POSSIBLE???

Yes and no.

It is possible to exceed your maximum HP (in fact, your max HP don't factor at all into your calculation of your temp HP -- regardless of what your current HP are).

It is not possible to do this with only 2 power points in Vigor. (Also, most 3rd level psions have more than 10 HP. Just sayin'.)

Read the rules. Why would you assume you couldn't add some temp HP to your existing HP?

I think the rules on Temporary Hit Points might help, too:

Temporary Hit Points
Certain effects give a character temporary hit points. When a character gains temporary hit points, note his current hit point total. When the temporary hit points go away the character’s hit points drop to his current hit point total. If the character’s hit points are below his current hit point total at that time, all the temporary hit points have already been lost and the character’s hit point total does not drop further.

When temporary hit points are lost, they cannot be restored as real hit points can be, even by magic.

Increases in Constitution Score and Current Hit Points
An increase in a character’s Constitution score, even a temporary one, can give her more hit points (an effective hit point increase), but these are not temporary hit points. They can be restored and they are not lost first as temporary hit points are.
