    Meh, still a bit uneasy on that.

    That's a bit confusing. Could you please explain?
    Also, does the limit of abilities "mimicking" spells and other types of magic also apply to psionics?
    Same limits as techniques.
    Finally, I think the sneak attack should be a move action to activate, giving sneak attacks on every other strike that round (usually you could only do one) but this let's you use it with an ability that requires an attack roll (like a maneuver). This might be too powerful, so you could say that it can only applies to basic attacks.
    I think it's pretty balanced. What you've got to realize is that you've got to expend your psionic focus in order to use it. Which means you're not using it all the time. The version you're proposing you probably be too powerful, but I'm open to some ideas for tweaking the Psionic Sneak Attack.

    Why would you think that?
