There's also a less straightforward option: 3) Take a class - the warlock, for instance - and adapt its powers to have more of a psionic flavour. The rogue would make a pretty good soulknife if you reflavoured its attacks, too.

The trick is just to reflavour things. For Kalashtar and Inspired/Chosen enemies I've been using Githyanki and Githzerai stats from the MM. I used ghouls to represent Adaran monks (removed the undead keyword, paralysing claws become stunning fists), and for quori I've used monsters such as the grell philosopher (du'ulora) and bearded devils (tsucora). I offered these stats for kalashtar PCs, but no one took the bait: http://www.dragon-above.com/index.php?p=features/kalashtar

As for the rest well, I ask you this: Are the Illithid in 4e? The answer is yes. They have a psionic feel as well, but once again no psionic classes. See when you build a monster you, as inspired, quori and much of Rierdra is you don't need to have psionic classes. Take another monster restat it change the damage it does to psychic and voila! You've got a psionic themed monster/enemy. BTW, here's my version of the Kalashtar Kalashtar Kalashtar Ability Scores: +2 Wis, +2 Cha Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares Vision: Normal Languages: Common, Quori Skill Bonuses: +2 Diplomacy, +2 Insight Psychic Resistance: You have resist psychic 5 + one half-your level. Naturally Psychic: Kalashtar get +1 to attack rolls when using powers with the Psychic Keyword Kalashtar Diplomacy: You can use Kalashtar Diplomacy as an encounter power Kalashtar Diplomacy With a commanding presence, and gentle psychic nudge, you can influence others. Encounter Free Action * Personal Effect: Reroll any bluff, intimidate, or diplomacy roll. Use the second roll, even if it is lower.
