I'm planning to build an Erudite to play soon, hopefully. Going to avoid the Spell to Power variant since that's just so overpowered I don't feel I would be capable of playing down to the rest of the party without constantly second-guessing myself. I'm trying to work out a good build without going too far, but I'm often not a good judge of what 'too far' is.
Right now, my biggest question would be, what the best Favored Discipline to pick would be. Or possibly what the two best ones, since favored discipline trades bonus feat, and the free psicrystal is referred to as a bonus feat, meaning that depending on the interpretation, you might have two bonus feats to trade for favored disciplines. I'm leaning toward Psychometabolism being the best, but some other opinions on that would be welcome. As for the second best, I'm unsure. Telepathy seems good since it allows Schism access at 7th level instead of 9th, as well as access to Metaconcert at 9th instead of 11th. Plus the telepathy is very thematic for psionics, so there's that. However, Clairsentience and Metacreativity both have their draws (such as access to Genesis before epic in Metacreativity, or Metafaculty in Clairsentience). Cross-referencing discipline to the other class's lists is somewhat annoying since I know of no listing of psionic powers by discipline. ...maybe I'll wind up making one.
I should note that for this particular character, it'll be starting at low level (3-4) and I'm unsure how high the campaign might go. But I'm also interested in general erudite building for the future as well.
