Any thoughts about how you got there/what you were doing?

Basically... checking for "bandit hobgoblins" mentioned by some merchants in Sharn.... also, other stuff can be found here, under the Background Sblock...

...allow UMD to be used on psionic items?  :whistle  :lmao
I don't think you can use it to fake pp :lol
He could just get a Dorje of Hustle if you let him, though, and skip the tattoo stuff.

So if I understand correctly, tie a Transducer to a Capacitor to a Hustle Tattoo so that the tattoo recharges at 1 pp per day (at a cost of 1 pp to you each day) or that you can recharge it yourself at 1 pp for every 2 pp invested?
That's right. Although anyone can use a psionic tattoo (they're the psionic equivalent of potions). I'm not sure how (or if) one with that setup would recharge on a non-psionic wearer, though.

What other ways, aside from the measily 2 pp Hidden Talent gives, are there?
He could be a Kalasthar. ;) Although... as a dragonborn, I'm not sure he'd keep the extra power points. He'd keep the psionic subtype, but the extra power point per CL is a racial feature...

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.
...thanks

Just did a quick read on psionic items, and didn't find anything saying I need PPs in order to use them (well... they mention the knowledge of the power, just like the wand rules on spells). I will leave it here for when I get two iterative attacks  :p

Dorje is fine, as long as he makes the UPD check :)

As for the recharging, I don't think that would work for a nonpsionic wearer...

And yeah, Dragonborn Kalashtar would lose the pp unfortunately.

Yeah, start investing in UPD :P

Hey Risada, you should have your guy worship Siberys. Then we can be part of the same cult that opposes Tiamat/The Red Hand (called The Light of Syberis). :D It was something Bowen mentioned a while back when I made my character. I originally had Eberron down as a deity, also, but changed it to Syberis.

Edit: Mentioned here and here.

I already did some stuff at my sheet, involving the Light of Siberys... it may or may not be what you expected, though  :P

Just as a clarification.... the stuff with Kalal (and the Light of Siberys) was added after you posted that suggestion  :rollseyes

But yeah, I guess that will do...  :P
