Alright so you asked for a review, for one this looks pretty promising. There are a few issues though, let's start with the following in spending your pain points:
- No such thing as a vile bonus, might be a mistake I made in my own class though. The word is profane. It's a very minor issue.
- Recovering Power Points is a bad idea, being a daily mechanic. Maybe cap the maximum amount of pp you can regain per day? (I appear to have done so in my own tormentor, I should also put a limit on that.)
- Increasing your manifester level should be limited as well, right now it makes the wilder green with jealousy.

- Alright, the only issues I can see are the two powers I outlined above. Since it's impossible to limit power points in the same way I did with spell slots, there is a lesser-known rule that could be useful for you: Temporary Power Points. TPP don't stack together, they overlap. I do not remember where they are from, however. --Leziad (talk) 23:13, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- Using pain points to recharge power points is a core feature of the class; the tradeoff is that the mindbreaker's power point pool is much smaller than that of other full manifesting classes, like the psion and wilder. I reduced the size of the power point pool just in case that wasn't clear enough. I also reduced the duration of the manifester level boost. --Luigifan18 (talk) 14:20, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Duration is not the problem, wilder has it as the next power they manifest. With psionic you can augment powers way beyond their normal range, like turn dominate person into dominate monster. I'd recommend limiting the manifester level boost to up to 1/3rd of your class level. --Leziad (talk) 14:40, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- All right, I'll do that. --Luigifan18 (talk) 15:36, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Also, I intentionally made the power point recharge option a full-round action (the tormentor refreshes spell slots as a standard action) and made it render the mindbreaker flat-footed, provoke attacks of opportunity, and require Concentration checks if distracted in order to make it difficult to get away with in combat — especially if trying to recover a lot of power points. (The mindbreaker does get uncanny dodge, but not until level 7, and even then, he needs to be psionically focused to benefit from said uncanny dodge, making the option to expend psionic focus to get more power points a bit of a trap function.) --Luigifan18 (talk) 16:02, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
