The trick is to perform the Ritual of Rebirth and become a dragonborn. Then do it again and again until you have 0 Dex and massive Con. Make sure the last ritual grants you a breath weapon.

Since psionic powers don't have components, you can still manifest despite being unable to move. In emergencies you can use animal affinity.
The ritual of rebirth just makes you a dragonborn.

If you're a dragonborn human, it'll turn you into a dragonborn human.

How hard is it to start with 2 Dex?

I always thought Schism was involved to have your second, wimpier mind handle the Control Bodying while you flung full-level powers all over the place.

Nah, your schismed mind is busy manifesting synchronicity to give extra standard actions to your main mind.
