[3.5] Arcane spells as a psion?
Specifically, I want to cast Mind Fog.
Apart from the Erudite class, how else can I acquire such an ability? It doesn't have to be a power, but if it were that would be nice since that means I can raise its DC and such.

Assume I have to work within existing rules

Do as Starbuck II suggested. It's within the rules.
If the XP issue is annoying, i suggest the power components optional rule in the DMG, in this case use them only for the psionic research.

Researching new powers IS within the existing rules.

EDIT:Ooh, or take 9 levels of Wizard or (I think) 13 levels of Bard. That should work for you.Last edited by RTGoodman; 2008-11-21 at 05:33 PM.

Re: [3.5] Arcane spells as a psion?
Well, for things like mass psionic dominating, Mind Blast (which doesn't have a spectacular DC), etc. I'm looking to play a Mind Flayer in a campaign which has a gestalt level every 4 levels, balanced against everyone else's gestalt per 2 levels, and one less manifester level, using the Savage Species progression with manifester level equal to HD and no spell-like abilities. In this case, telepath levels stack with HD to determine psion equivalent level.
Though, on retrospect, I guess a psionic endowment and Ability Focus can pump Mind Blast's DC by 4. Any other way to pump the DC of spell-likes (in this case, psi-like)?
EDIT:
Yeah I've raised the issue with my DM, he just laughed at me and said "In your dreams." :(Last edited by Dragannia; 2008-11-21 at 05:37 PM.
