How would she help? My reflecting on the pride of being pure physical classes... and then realizing how dumb it is. Eugene may be a tool, but he can be right at times and she’s comfortable with herself in her skills as a Barbarian to take on a Psionic class (additionally, as a Maenad, her favored class would be wilder and as a half-giant psychic warrior). Alternately, she may give him a homebrew Psionic Prestige class that stacks with Fighter levels.
4- Roy gaining a psionic class would enable him to use his intelligence and wisdom to the fullest, and psions aren’t inhibited by Armor like wizards are I believe. Plus, it would be a good callback to the Psion that could. It would also further show he’s his own man away from his father.
If he did, it could be pure Psion or a homebrew class. Heck, the bonus feat feat in Inquisitor would help out with his Sense Motive. Psionic Weapon would let him do more damage.
