Skills: Conc: 43, Disc: 21, Lore: 43, S-Craft: 43, Tumble: 21, +175 your choices
Notes:
1) Twinned Ecto-Shambler (34 hp / round when twinned - no SR, no save, no attack rolls, magical damage) on non-DR classes / opp?s is a great fire and forget power. You have to manually Psi-focus (bogus!)  (Ahem, f-off, WotC geniuses!) to twin the Shambler.
2) Energy Current (Kineticist only) ? max augment & meta-psi then make sure no one ?punks? you into attacking (breaks power). Does ~ 165 ? 330 hp / round (Cold Fort half, all others [fire, sonic, et. al.] Flex half) concentrating ? no pp drain. Do not use on high SR races unless Lower Spell Resistance is used first.
3) Energy Missile (Kineticist only) DC save is NOT a misprint, DC = 10 + 2 (base power level) + 1 / pp + ability mod. Max augment save ~ 50+ DC (Cold Fort half, all others [fire, sonic, et. al.] Flex half) for five twinned, max & empowered missiles. Cannot target same opp twice (arg!). Do not use on high SR races unless Lower Spell Resistance is used first.
4) If you don?t like a power choice (i.e. Mental Barrier = WotC trash!), use Psychic Reformation.
5) Psi-Meditation (aka Psi Medi-Wasting) was intentionally not taken (BS 3.5 mechanic).
6) Race was chosen over Illithid due to better natural AC, Con and Str bonuses.

Notes:
1) Twinned Ecto-Shambler (34 hp / round when twinned - no SR, no save, no attack rolls, magical damage) on non-DR classes / opp’s is a great fire and forget power. You have to manually Psi-focus (bogus?)  (Ahem, f-off, WotC geniuses!) to twin the Shambler.
2) Psi-Meditation (aka Psi Medi-Wasting) was intentionally not taken (BS 3.5 mechanic).
3) Swarm of Crystals was not taken because the meta-psionics don’t work most of the time – even with manual psi-focus (bogus!).
4) If you play with Timestop “on”, choose Temporal Acceleration
5) Improved Meta-Psionics I & II use “Psi-Craft,” not Spellscraft as stated. Reduces Discipline by 6 points.
6) If you don’t like a power choice (i.e. Mental Barrier = WotC trash!), de-level or take Psychic Reformation.
7) Race was chosen over Illithid due to better natural AC and Con bonuses. Choose Zak-Rak if you want a stronger melee presence (+4 AB, +80 hp, -6 Cha).
