Does anyone have a good, and unique race for the Psionic class, the Psion? Something with a small level adjustment, if possible, but good boosts in intellegence, and a natural psionic ability, so I wouldn't need to take the Wild Talent just to get into psionics. Any help please?

The gray elf in MM. They aren't naturally psionic but they do get +2 to intelligence. On the other hand they get -2 to Str. Not that it matters when you're a Psion.

My Crystalkin (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=808432) would make a good race.

You never have to take the wild talent feat when taking a psionic class. The first level of psion makes you psionic

Yeah, you don't need to take Wild Talent to qualify for a psionic class.
That's like saying you need to take one of those feats that grants minor spells/day to be a sorcerer or a wizard.

They're just like any other base class.

The one trick is you do need to have psionic power (either by taking class levels, the Wild Talent feat, or being a psionic race) to get access to psionic FEATS. But that's it.

And I'd suggest Elan for a psion, or maybe a dromite (also XPH, +1 L.A. bug-man, with a nice bunch of racial abilities)
