As part of psionic discipline a great mind is required, however many psions and wilders forget the body and mind are part of a whole and that honing one and not the other diminish your true psionic potential. Perfect psion are those psionic manifester who both trained their body and mind, channeling their psionic power through a whole to attain powers very few psion will ever see.

While most modern psions are happy with training merely their mind, a few seek the power of the master of the disciplines of old. These ancient psions trained both their body and mind, combing them, to make themselves into physical gods. Alas the ancient methods are all but lost, however the concept is simple, although a difficult task to abide by for most psychics. Those who succeed become Psionic Exemplars, granting them abilities that resemble the one used by the psion of old in addition to increased combat abilities.
