Ultimate Mentat
Psions channel the raw power of their mind. Psychic warriors channel it in combat. Lurks do it from the shadows striking sensitive areas. Wilders channel the raw emotion in an unstable nature. However few psionic characters can do a combination of the two. By combining two psionic arts a psionic character gains even more versatility and power.
Becoming an Ultimate Mentat
Due to the specific requirements of the ultimate mentat, levels in either Psion, wilder, or Ardent as well as at least 1 level in Lurk, Psychic warrior, or divine mind. It is possible for other members of other psionic classes to do so under specific conditions but are rare.
Entry Requirements
Skills: Knowledge (psionics) 4 ranks, Psicraft 8 ranks.
Feats: any metapsionic feat.
Manifesting: Able to manifest 1st level powers with one restricted manifesting class and manifest 2nd level powers with one full manifesting class.
Full Manifesting Class: Classes that gain up to 9th level powers by level 20 (Psion, Ardent, Wilder )
Restricted Manifesting Class: Classes that gain only up to 6th level power by level 20 (Lurk, Psychic warrior, various monk based prestige classes, divine mind, etc)

Class Features
An Ultimate Mentat not only learns powers of two psionic classes simultaneously but you can use the combined power point tools to augment and apply metapsionic feats.
Manifesting: At each level except 1st, 4th, and 7th, you gain new power points and an increase in manifesting level (and powers known) as if you had also gained a level in both a full manifesting class and a restricted manifesting class to which you belonged to before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of those classes would have gained.
At 1st, 4th and 7th level, you gain power points and an increase in manifesting level ( and powers known) as if you also gained a level in your manifesting level with the lowest manifesting level. For example, a 4th level psion/ 1st level psychic warrior who gained one level of ultimate mentat would gain increased manifesting ability as if he had gained a level of psychic warrior (since that class’s caster level is lower than his psion manifester level). If all your manifesting classes have equal manifester levels, you can apply this benefit to any of your existing manifesting classes. You do not however gain any other benefit a character of those classes would have gained.
Psionic Power (Ex): At 1st level, your manifesting level for all psionic powers increases by 1. It increases again at 4th level, 7th level, and 10th level (to a maximum of +4)
Bonus feat: At 2nd level, and again every 3 levels, you can select a bonus psionic or metapsionic feat for which you meet the prerequisites.
