Found another psionic power that might need an entry in the template: Sense Link.
It's less of a problem though since it's concentration based (though there are ways to get around that).
I've been thinking about the template and it's applications. One of a Blinded from Birth PC's biggest problems will be from archers, especially rogue archers between 20-30 feet. If the character doesn't pick up Uncanny Dodge somehow, then he faces a distinct disadvantage for the entirety of his career.
Even with Uncanny Dodge he faces tremendous problems, especially when not in enclosed environments. Heaven forbid that he ever be ambushed overground. Grimlocks can get away with being blind but with limited range blindsight bec. of their subterranean environment but blinded characters are as weak as kittens against a basic tactic since everything that's beyond his senses is invisible to him.
If you still want to pursue the challenge of such a disadvantaged character, then I commend you.
Sense Link
Telepathy [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Psion/wilder 1
Display: Visual
Manifesting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One willing creature
Duration: Concentration, up to 1min./level
Power Points: 1
You perceive what the subject creature perceives using its sight, hearing, taste, or smell. Only one sense is linked, and you cannot switch between senses with the same manifestation.
You make any skill checks involving senses, such as Spot or Listen, as the subject, and only within the subject’s field of view. You lose your Dexterity bonus to AC while directly sensing what the subject senses.
Once sense link is manifested, the link persists even if the subject moves out of the range of the original manifestation (but the link does not work across planes). You do not control the subject, nor can you communicate with it by means of this power.
The strength of the subject’s linked sense could be enhanced by other powers or items, allowing you the same enhanced sense. You are subject to any gaze attack affecting the subject creature (if you linked vision). If you are blinded or deafened, or suffer some other sensory deprivation, the linked creature functions as an independent sensory organ, and provides you the benefit of the linked sense from its perspective while this power’s duration lasts.
Augment: You can augment this power in one or both of the following ways.
1. If you spend 2 additional power points, you can have the subject perceive one of your senses instead of the other way around.
2. If you spend 4 additional power points, you can link to a second sense of the same subject.
