Nice stats.

Who else is in the party? What sources are available? Any houserules in effect?

What sort of character do you want to be?

As a psion 14 in Str and 18 in Int.

Then it would be a good idea to decide on your dicipline.

Start with the Psion Handbook (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=1036.0) and come back with any questions you have.

Well, it's your character. What do you want from her? Telepath (for control) or Kineticist (for blastoise) with Expanded Knowledge: Astral Construct could both be solid and fit well with the other characters.

if your going telepath, then you want the thrallherd PrC, spec yourself heavily for control and manipulation (which your awesome at) then build your thrall to cover the areas you're weak in (blasting, particularly anti-mind-effecting-immune). alternatively, you could go for another style of thrall, but regardless i strongly recommend that your thrall be psionic, as long as one of you has power points left you'll still have access to all the powers the two of you have.

and yeah, awesome stats.

You don't necessarily want Thrallherd. It's strong, but Telepath without it is strong too.

Here are some of the "basic" feats that most Psions want to take:

Overchannel
Talented
Psionic Meditation
Expanded Knowledge*
Psicrystal Affinity
Psicrystal Containment
Quicken Power

*As many times as possible, really. Non-Telepaths definitely should use this to pick up Schism. Non-Shapers can always get good use out of this to pick up Astral Construct, though this is certainly not required. Loads of other powers are possibly worth spending a feat on eventually, too: Mindlink, Metamorphosis, Energy Missile, Mend Wounds, Hustle, Dispelling Buffer, Psionic Teleport ...

i dunno, basic telepath is fairly strong, but all you lose for taking 10 thrallherd is 2 ML (which go away with practiced manifester) and 2 feats (3 if you include the manditory practiced manifester), which isn't really a big. especially when you compare that to the 1(eventually 2) thralls (-1 and -2 of your level) each of which can be built however you like (IE effectively tripling your available feats if you have feat leech), 2 free powers (psionic charm and dominate), and cheaper casting for those powers. if you get psionic thralls your essentially tripling your powers known and PP plus breaking the action economy by having 3 full rounds worth of actions per round without Schism shenanigans.
seriously, a 16th level thrallherd can cause 6 powers to be fired off every round as long as one of the 3 has schism (and in case its not obvious, YOU SHOULD GET SCHISM!).

I suggest highly Synad with the Improved SLA feat (at DM's descression, cuz I dunno if they made Improved Psi-like ability) and Synad's Multitask, Improved to use Multitask far mor often. Then, Go with the following:

Synad
Telepath 7/Ur Priest 1/Psychic Theurge 9/Arch Psion 3

There is no god. Only you.
