I think one thing that would be cool would be to build up a temporary resistance in addition to your base resistance.

Say a mental power affects you, that starts your temp resistance against that spell. So the next time something tries to get you with that spell, you would have a better chance to resist it.

Considering that they're MENTAL attacks, how do you propose you dodge them? Well...I do have two ways you can dodge them...it's called leaving the room so the offending creature can't target you anymore and hiding. If the thing can't see you, how can they attack you? It's just like the Siphon Vigor/Blood Siphon spells, you're not really going to be able to do much in the way of evading something that centers on your lifeblood or what have you.

I don't think anything really needs to be adjusted with ANY of these spells or powers, aside from the fact that I saw an oracle paralyze Mellie several times in a row a while back. That is quite wrong for such lower level creature to be able to attack someone so much more powerful than they are. But there shouldn't be any other way to avoid such powers or spells, aside from not provoking the creature/player in the first place.

i'm not saying that it should be evaded, just that there should be more to it when it comes to resisting the spell. right now only psionic resistance is taken into account and i feel that's grossly wrong.

and just because something isn't tangible doesn't mean it should be unavoidable. maybe eye contact is needed for it to work. or they need to focus on your body. if you're running around or whatever, then maybe it's harder to hit you. whatever it is, the thing i'm bothered by is that these psionic spells are only resisted by a percentage chance (based on psi resist). the attacker's stats/skills are not apparently taken into consideration (according to what has been stated), and the defenders stats/skills aren't taken into consideration. the only thing considered is the defender's psionic resistance.
