Let me know what you think...
Unbodied (concept) progression:
(
modified: an unbodied is humanoid in form, and thus walks and doesn't fly until later levels.)
(
modified: an unbodied is now an aberration instead of a monstrous humanoid.)
special qualities darkvision
racial modifiers Dex +2, Con +2, Cha +2
skills An unbodied receives a +4 racial bonus to Bluff and Disguise checks.
naturally psionic An unbodied receives 2 bonus power points per day at 1st level.
disturbing appearance In its natural form, an unbodied appears as a transparent, vaguely humanoid creature. The most striking feature of the unbodied is that its nervous system (including brain) are the most visible parts of its body. This confers a -4 penalty to Diplomacy and Handle Animal checks.
This penalty is negated when the unbodied uses its assume likeness ability to appear as another creature.

skills proficiencies simple weapons; no armor; while incorporeal, add 1/2 Charisma modifier (min. +0) as a Deflection bonus to AC; can't exceed unbodied level.
manifesting at levels 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th, an unbodied receives a +1 bonus to her effective psion level for the purpose of determining powers known, manifester level, and power points per day. This bonus can't increase her effective psion level above her character level. An unbodied without levels in the psion class doesn't receive this bonus.
assume likeness (Ps) As a standard action, an unbodied may expend one of her daily uses of her uncarnate power (
see: uncarnate ability, above) to assume the form of any Medium-sized humanoid creature, as the spell
disguise self and the disguise lasts for 10 minutes per level. Manifester level is equal to unbodied level.
uncarnate (Ps)A number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier, an unbodied may, as a standard action, shed her physical form and assume all the traits of the incorporeal subtype. She loses her Strength bonus and any (non-
ghost touch) equipment she's carrying falls to the ground. She ignores attacks from mundane sources and has a 50% chance to ignore magical attacks that originate from a corporeal source. She may no longer interact with corporeal objects and creatures unless they possess the
ghost touch (or similar) feature. While incorporeal, an unbodied can't walk, but can instead hover up to 1 foot above any ground or liquid (see the elocater's
scorn earth feature). She may dismiss the incorporeality as a Standard action.
The incorporeality lasts for 1 minute per unbodied level.
body of wisdom At 1st level, an unbodied may choose to increase either her Intelligence or Wisdom ability score by +2. At 2nd, 5th, and 6th level, she may increase either score by +2, but she may only increase each score by a maximum of +4 total.
At 4th level, an unbodied increases her Charisma score by +2.
hide mind (Ps) At 2nd level, an unbodied may expend one of her daily uses of the uncarnate ability to duplicate the effects of the
nondetection spell (DC is equal to 11 + unbodied level + the unbodied's Intelligence modifier). Effective manifester level is equal to her unbodied level.
improved likeness At 3rd level, an unbodied can adjust her assume likeness ability to appear as a Small humanoid creature; at 5th level, she can further augment her ability to appear as a Large humanoid creature.
telekinetic force (Ps) At 4th level, an unbodied may expend one of her daily uses of her uncarnate ability to duplicate the effects of the
telekinetic force power. Effective manifester equal to her unbodied level.
shed body At 6th level, an unbodied permanently sheds her corporeal form and becomes an incorporeal creature. Her uncarnate ability is changed such that she can use it to assume a
corporeal form instead. All other effects remain the same, except that the unbodied also receives the ability to fly at her base speed with perfect maneuverability while incorporeal.
