My problem with psionics has always been that you can simply blow as many of your highest level 'spells' as you can until you run out of PP, then you force the rest of the party to stop. IMHO, psions should be able to do their thing all day without regard to power points, and they should have abilities that directly build off eachother.

So your solution to prevent the psion from Nova-ing and them making the party rest is to let him SPAM Nova? Hell, why don't we just make a new rule that all spellcasters can cast as many spells per day as they want ?

Actually, that is exactly the point. If a psion's abilities are designed with the understanding that there /is/ no limit to the number of times per day they can be used, you can end up with a balanced system. I am coming at this from the angle of a fighter. A fighter's abilities are balanced on the assumption that he can swing his weapon as many times per day as he likes. Since that core understanding is at the heart of Combat feat design, it works out. I think you may be stuck in the style of thought that says a) Psions are casters and b) caster power must increase exponentially with level
