For my Human Shaper 5/Thrallherd 7?


Astral Construct
Call To Mind
Control Flames
Vigor
Crystal Shard
Mindlink [EK]
Charm, Psionic (B)
Concussion Blast
Share Pain
Sustenance
Tongues, Psionic
Concealing Amorpha, greater
Ectoplasmic Cocoon
Ubiquitous vision
Dispel Psionics
Energy Bolt
Fabricate, Psionic
Telekinetic Maneuver
Dimension Door, psionic
Death Urge
Wall of Ectoplasm
Dominate, Psionic (B)
Hail of Crystals
Plane Shift, Psionic


-Boost Construct [psionic] 1st
-Speed of Thought [psionic] 1st
-Inquisitor [psionic] 1st
-Expanded Knowledge Mindlink [psionic]
-Personal Construct 5th
-Psionic Body [psionic] 6th
-Psionic Meditation [psionic] 9th


The Thrallherd levels give him Charm and Dominate and he has Mindlink from the Expanded Knowledge feat. So far in combat he's sat in the back and thrown out personal constructs and blasted/death urged people. My DM is favoring massive battles right now with lots of semi-tough mooks. Though he may sqithc over to having us fight smaller numbers. The world is a low magic place so I don't have to worry too much about foiling other magic.

My current considerations for powers are Psionic Disintegrate, and Crystallize. Or Fabricate, Greater (but that's not really necessary, I don't make enough stuff to justify it.)

PS: My psion has a 10 dex and an 8 stregnth, so my attack rolls of any sort are pretty poor.

Causual loop from Hyperconscious (http://www.ptolus.com/mpress_Hyper.html) is a nice feat since you got death urge. However, it's not a level 6 power. It is basically a deja vu (check expanded psionics handbook) that lasts for more than one round. Temporal acceleration is nice for giving you som extra power in one round. You may also consider hands, eye and morality -of isolation from hyperconscious. However, some of thoose ain't 6th level powers. Good luck with finding some that suits your needs. Also, note that they DON'T have to be 6th level powers just because you have access to them.

Disintergate should appear automatically. Temporal acceleration is nice as is Mind over energy from Complete Psi. I normally play shapers so I also Like Greater fabricate. Retrieve is fun, teleport the barbarians axe to your hand.

I just had to make this choice, and I chose Temporal Acceleration. My reasoning was that I don't really count on Distintegrate as anything other than utility or battlefield control, but Temporal Acceleration can give me extra turn(s) to buff or get out of fatal situations.

My buff routine could look like:

Round 1a: Swift: Temporal Acceleration
-Sub-Round 1: Standard: Linked Schism + Vigor; Move: Recover Focus
Round 1b: Free: Vigor triggers; Standard: Manifest X; Schismed Standard: Manifest Y; Move: Z

With Link Power, it basically lets you buff (up to 4 powers) in a single round.

Definitely picking up Disintegrate (and probably going back for Energy Adaptation) next level.

Stygian Bolt- Negative levels hurt. Reflex save nails fighters, clerics, and arcane casters. Augmented and empowered, it's nasty.

I think Temporal Acceleration + Contingency is probably the strongest choice overall. Set up a Contingent Temporal Acceleration to go off on a command word, and you can get several free rounds of buffing/summoning whenever you need it.

I think for now I'm going to go with Temporal Acceleration. That way I can use TA and the make a construct effectively as a swift action (it'll cost 22 power points total... but its an emergency tactic.) Then I have all the utility uses of the powers.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a feat? My current ideas are a meta-psionic, or an Expanded Knowledge, otherwise I'm unsure what to get.
