Is there any way to get the ability to have a psionic focus without taking class levels, like through a feat or something? I want a way to give my druids animal companion psionic fist feat for the +2d6 damage, but it requires the expenditure of psionic focus.

At first I thought wild talent, but it only grants power points and the ability to take psionic feats, but doesnt grant anything related to a psionic focus.

If I want to be really cheesy, the feat psionic meditation says you can become psionically focused as a move action, but does not list any psionic ability as a prerequisite :P

Merely holding a reservoir of psionic power points in mind gives psionic characters a special energy. Psionic characters can put that energy to work without actually paying a power point cost—they can become psionically focused as a special use of the Concentration skill.

If you have 1 or more power points available, you can meditate to attempt to become psionically focused. The DC to become psionically focused is 20. Meditating is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. When you are psionically focused, you can expend your focus on any single Concentration check you make thereafter. When you expend your focus in this manner, your Concentration check is treated as if you rolled a 15. It’s like taking 10, except that the number you add to your Concentration modifier is 15. You can also expend your focus to gain the benefit of a psionic feat—many psionic feats are activated in this way.

Wild Talent gives you a power point reserve, allowing you to become psionically focused.
