Of course, the obvious combination is with rogue, and I think one of my players was interested in making that happen. I wish they would put out the multiclass rules with it, but understandably, it may not be as simple. I am thinking about just houseruling that multi-class into Psion gives you a daily use of the Distract power and you can trade an at-will for a psion at will. You also get two half of the powerpoints you would normally get per encounter to augment the at-will. I agree.

I feel that the one point augments are less useful at this point, but because the mechanic is the way it is, it opens up design space later on -- look at some of the higher level At-Wills that have Augment 4, for instance. Other than that, I think the At-Wills are better than the Wizard at wills, but very on par with Druid at-wills, so I'd argue against power creep in that regard. My main complaint is that we don't have the tools to multiclass psionics yet. I've always viewed it as a neat "add-on" for a character, since the days of the wild-talent.
