Wis: 8 [ 10 ]

Pro’s: 39th Sorcerer, 34th Wilder, High SR (race), decent caster hp (290), high buffed AC, saves, medium-high AB, epic spells, 1950 hp Epic Warding, 3 attack / round (un-hasted), decent Psi-healing powers, no smites, good chance to debuff opponents, low chance for opp’s to debuff, 2 more base spells / lev than Wizard CM build, Tumble class skill, high touch AC, can use light armor + shield when spells are gone, no unbuffed offhand Str nerf (WotC geniuses!), 483 base pp (543 Max Cha), 540 hp Crystal Shard (Twin + Max + Emp) – but must manually psi-focus (bogus!), access to Ecto-Shambler.
Cons: Psi-focus (bogus!) mechanic (f-off, WotC!) wastes five epic feats, manual psi-focus (bogus!) required for some meta-psi’s to work (twin Ecto-Shambler, major Shard blasts), mostly d4’s, only 11 psi powers (choose wisely, Grasshopper), limited spells known, fast Psi pp burn down @ max augment, no access to Psion discipline-specific powers (no Energy Current = sniffle), quickslot shortage.

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).
