In one of my games I am playing a warblade 1/wilder 6 (just got to 7th level). The game is a zombie survival type game, and my character was designed around front line fighting with a healthy dose of psionic blasting. So far, it's been working great.
However, as the levels go up my melee abilities are beginning to fail me - the single level of warblade just isn't enough any more. If I was an arcane caster, Jade Phoenix Mage would be the answer to all of my problems, even the problems that haven't come up yet.
In anticipation of my DM saying "yes" to reworking the class to fit psionics, what does the playground think of 1 spell level = 2 power points when it comes to the Phoenix's class abilities? (Just to clarify with an example, if a psionic character spent 4 power points as a swift action to use arcane wrath, he would gain a +4 attack bonus and 2d10 damage bonus to his next attack, as if he had spent a 2nd level spell slot). Normal limits on PP expenditure would still apply.
With that translation, the class is psionic-ready.
Edit: oh I forgot about the increased casting level stances it gives....I was thinking 1 free power point, same as wild surge, but it only works to increase dice rolled (thus it would enhance energy ray, but it couldn't be used to increase the armor bonus from force shield).
Edit, part 2: Forget what I said about in the first edit, increasing casting level should just increase manifestor level....duh.
