3.5 Psionic Archivist

[Trekkin]

I am not sure if a request currently devoid of content is appropriate for posting in this forum, so if I am in error please tell me, but I ask if the existence of the aforementioned psionic archivist class is a possibility, in the same vein as the psionic artificer is a variant artificer.

Obviously certain knowledge skills would have to be changed, but would it be possible to adapt the power progression? I can only assume use of the erudite power progression would be unbalancing, as it would make a T1 class even more powerful. Would standard psion power progression work?

Any ideas on how to adapt such a class to use psionics as a source of power would be much appreciated.

To clarify, what exactly do you want from a "psionic archivist?" Would it just be a psion with Dark Knowledge, or do you also want it to be able to learn psionic powers from other sources like an archivist learns divine spells from scrolls?

The most implementable solution would probably be a psion with Dark Knowledge instead of their feat progression, but part of the archivist is its ability to absorb power, and I'd hate to lose that if I could find a solution short of the erudite.

So the former if the latter is not balanced for T1

Edit: a possible solution occurs. Perhaps a maximum power capacity for powers known of each level equal to the psionic archivist's level minus the minimum level at which a psion may learn the power, with discipline powers treated as one level higher than normal? Under this system, a sixth-level psionic archivist would have 6-1 = 5 bonus first-level powers, 6-3 = 3 bonus second-level powers, and 6-5 = 1 bonus third level power known.
