Yes I am aware of the Generalist Psion from PF but it never really felt like an Erudite.
How would you convert the 3.5 Erudite to the PF system?

Um… it doesn't seem that difficult to port over. The Erudite is effectively a psion. I wouldn't give it any additional features as STP Erudite has enough power as is. Let it take STP or Favored Discipline/Mantle ACF and change the skills and you should be good. Change its bonus feat list to the Psions as well.

There is an erudite (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/classes/psion/psionic-disciplines/generalist/erudite) psion archetype, but it works differently, being based on power stones. It's on the pfsrd.

Note that since pf lacks experience cost the 3.5 erudite will need some tweaking, probably need to spend gold to learn powers instead.

Rereading the archetype shows it being better than I thought, allowing you to choose a few powers per day as powers known in addition to your normal powers, so long as you have manifested them from a power stone previously.

I was looking for that page last night, but I couldn't find it as its not linked to the Psion Generalist (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/classes/psion/psionic-disciplines/generalist)page.
Not sure if they Errated that version away or not. Which might mean that the company is gonna bring out another Erudite Class on its own.

I think the d4 needs to be brought to a d6 as the Psion is and yeah probably a gold payment, or just match what a Wizard's learning spells mechanic.
