[3.5] Need constructive critics about Psion build

[Shaynythyryas]

So here's the story : my sister and her husband got asked to join an online D&D Table (which will be recorded to be partially aired later on radio).
She's familiar with roleplaying but not with D&D and do not have much time to learn and prepare her char, so I offered to make her build myself so that she can enterily focus on grasping the rules.

From what I suggested her, she chose to be an Elan Psion[Telepath] (she may change her mind and switch to Human, it's not really fixed). They all start level 5, and every book even splat are accepted. This is what I prepared so far :

Stats (25 point buy) : 8/10/14/17/8/10 (CHA 12 -> 10 because of Elan ; I wanted to keep it without malus for the nice Bluff/Diplo Telepath class skills)

Level 1 :
Discipline (Telepath)
Psicrystal Affinity
+1 feat : ?

Level 3
Feat : Expanded psionic knowledge (Astral Construct)

Level 5
+1 Psionic Feat : ?

Level 6
+1 Feat : ?

Level 9
Feat : Psionic Meditation

Level 10
Psionic Feat : Empower Power

Level 12
Feat : Quicken Power

Level 15
Feat : Expanded Psionic Knowledge (Fate of the One)
Psionic Feat : Maximized Power

Level 18
Feat : Power Penetration

level 20
+1 Psionic Feat : ?

===============

Anf these are a list of the powers I planned for her to select, but cannot make up my mind about :

1 Charm, Psionic
1 Crystal Shard
1 Mind Thrust
1 Vigor
1 Déjà Vu
2 Concussion Blast
2 Id Insinutation
2 Read Thoughts
2 Share Pain
2 Suggestion, Psionic
2 Swarm of Crystals
3 Energy Burst
3 Psionic Blast
3 Share Pain, Forced
===============
4 Death Urge
4 Dimension Door, Psionic
4 Dominate, Psionic
4 Energy Adaptation
4 Freedom of Movement, Psionic
4 Mindwipe
4 Modify Memory, Psionic
4 Schism
5 Adapt Body
5 Major Creation, Psionic
5 Mind Probe
5 Shatter Mind Blank
5 True Seeing, Psionic
6 Cloud Mind, Mass
6 Disintegrate, Psionic
6 Temporal Acceleration
7 Decerebrate
7 Energy Wave
7 Insanity
7 Mind Blank, Personal
7 Moment of Prescience, Psionic
7 Phase Door, Psionic
7 Ultrablast
8 Mind Blank, Psionic
8 Recall Death
8 Teleport, Psionic Greater
8 True Metabolism
9 Affinity Field
9 Microcosm
===============

At the current time we have no idea what the rest of her company will be, except from her husband who will be playing a Warblade.
She made up her mind around the idea of a manipulating Psion, focused on taking advantage of weak minds.

Can you help me :
- chosing the lasting Feats ?
- chosing from this reduced list of Powers the best suited ?
- know if anything is very wrong with what I chose ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Is she open to going Thrallherd? Because it's hilariously broken, and pretty much the ideal PrC for a mind-raping telepath.

If you do that, You'll need to take the Inquisitor feat at or before level 5 and the Mindlink power. You'll also need to reshuffle some of the bonus psionic feats you have in your outline (Thrallherd will eat up CLs 6-15). You can take Charm and Dominate off the list of powers to take because you get them via Thrallherd. She'll lose two manifester levels, but there's no rule against her thralls also being manifesters...
