What are your favorite psionic feats to use with a psychic warrior? What are your favorite feats for a psychic warrior in general?

Earth Sense + Earth Power does wonders to save your power points (Races of Stone)
Expect to use a few expanded knowledges. Can't go wrong with schism and metamorphosis. Otherwise it's as fighter.

Your name.

Still no relation. They spell it differently. Temotei is Timothy in Japanese...or so I'm told. Timotei might be another way to spell it, an incorrect way, or the correct way. Anyway, my name is Tim, so I use Temotei as my username.

Monk's out. That's not because I don't want to play a monk, but because I've already got a concept in mind; I'm just filling in feats.

Psicrystal Affinity + Expanded Knowledge: Share Pain + Vigor

can't go wrong with picking up the psionic body feat if you're going to take a lot of psionic feats.

Yes, you can. You need 10 psionic feats for psionic body to match improved toughness. And Improved Toughness is quite bad on its own.

I've always been a fan of Up the Walls.

Also, Martial Study (or just a ToB dip) to grab some juicy Diamond Mind manoeuvre. Expend your psionic focus to take 15 on the concentration check. :smallcool:

Linked Power is the best PsyWar feat by far. Metapower can go with that to make it even better. Psionic Meditation goes hand in hand with Hustle for swift-action focus recovery (to combine with Linked Power). Psicrystal Affinity is awesome if you're using the Share Pain/Vigor combo. Otherwise, go with melee feats for your preferred combat style (Power Attack, Shock Trooper, Improved Trip, Knock-Down, etc), and Expanded Knowledge for everything else.

I like the Combat Focus line on Psychic Warriors because the feats are neat and it's the only time I ever have the prerequisite ability scores, the need for its boosts and the feats to spare.

But Linked Power is pretty much required. And Psionic Meditation, Expanded Knowledge (Schism, Synchronicity and Metamorphosis) are all pretty fantastic. Extend Power is dry, but I've gotten a lot of use from it -- anything that reduces PWars' PP costs is a good thing.

If you can use Dreamscarred Press materials, (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/) there are some fun feats there like Psicrystal Weapon (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/psicrystal-weapon)/Containment (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/psicrystal-weapon-containment), Psionic Body/Subconscious Containment (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/subconscious-containment), Creature Capacitor (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/creature-capacitor), Sequester Power (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/sequester-power) and Visceral Surge (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/visceral-surge).

And On Fire (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/on-fire) is just cool.

EDIT:
Improved Natural Attack, [Improved] Rapidstrike, Craft Universal Item, Assume Supernatural Ability, Metamorphic Transfer are all useful for shapeshifter types, which Psychic Warriors tend to become at mid-high levels.

Alternatively, you can take Linked Power and then Metapower over and over, forever, with the Soulbound Weapon ACF to produce an uberweapon far, far below the level you could reasonably afford such a thing. At 15th level, I think, Overchannel is better than Metapower. Otherwise, be a human, take two flaws, and make a weapon with a character attached to it.
