My first idea was to basically choose to spend additional power points to convert into bonus attack and damage (mimicing the arcane strike feat). So what my idea was that you give up powerpoints (1 for a +1 bonus and 1d4 damage, 3 for 2 bonus to attack and 2d4 bonus damage, and so on following the model for arcane strike). Its a good idea but I don't know if its worth the power points on even a psionic gish, power points are too valuable I feel. Has anyone else tried doing this or come up with a psionic version of arcane strike?
