    Default When making a Psionic character, is Wild Talent worth it?

    I'm going to be playing a Whisper Gnome Lurk, starting at 1st level.

    Wild Talent would be nice at lower levels, but I can see it quickly becoming obsolete as my power points blossom at higher levels. Meanwhile, the Two-Weapon fighting tree is always useful for any character that gets sneak attack, and I could break into that at 1st-level if I dropped Wild Talent.

    If you are already a psionic class, don't take wild talent. It's for normal classes that want to take feats like psionic shot.

    If you're really that desperate for more power points, take Psionic Talent instead. Wild Talent is strictly for non-psionic characters that want to become psionic without spending class levels on it.
    Like 4X (aka Civilization-like) gaming? Know programming? Interested in game development? Take a look.

    Hidden Talent before either Wild or Psionic.

    Body Fuel and Overchannel (from the same table) are much better. One is the prerequisite for the other, but I can't remember which, and that table doesn't seem to indicate it. Either way, they're both well worth taking.
