Ok, so since we may or may not ever see Pathfinder revised psionic class info, I'm going to do some work with my friends and come up with revised core psionic classes.
Psion - I want to make Disciplines match the School & Domains style, how ever I need to figure which of those it should most closely resemble.
As Schools: 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th
OR
As Domains: 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, 20th
I'm thinking that as Schools makes more sense, since Psions are closer to being wizards than clerics, but then Disciplines right now barely give any benefit, just more powers to pick from. So maybe as Domains makes more sense.
Also, I'd like to give an alternate option to Psions instead of a Psicrystal, like an item that stores a certain number of spare PP that only the psion can access.
Psychic Warrior - give them a full BAB at the least
Wilder - more powers per level, I'm thinking 1 every level, or maybe 3 every 2 levels (ie 1,2,1,2,etc)
Soulknife - access to a very few psi-like abilities off the PsyWar list
Any thoughts?
There is the Variant Psychic Rogue which basically loses 3 Feats/Sneak Attacks and 2 skill points a level to have 100 PP and know 15 first to fifth level psionic powers at L20.

Ssychic warrior should keep BAB it has now.
Personally, I'd really prefer to see Pathfinder make the psionic more of a gestalt character...I know it'll never happen. For me, the soulknife is just so cookie cutter'sih that it's disturbing...The Psychic Warrior is cool....as is the Psion...but the rest...blech...
I totaly love psionics
but i also totaly hate what was done in 3.5
first you cant mix every type of power together and asign
levels like spells.
Divide them in different diciplines
4 classes with 4 different specialisations with specific power points like the new Barbarian's rage points and specific powers and feats like the sorcerer bloodlines.
You can chose from any dicipline as long has you have more powers in your primary discipline
ex:
1- Mentalist = mental diciplines (perception empathy clairvoyance
hypnosis,mind affecting...)int based
2- Metabolist = metabolic diciplines (to manipulate and modify one's own body)con based
3- Echolocator = temporal diciplines ( manipulation of time and space)
Wis based
4- kynecist = energy and force diciplines (mind over matter,
cha based barriers,desintegration)
I know it is very similar to second edition but its simple and fun to built
