A smart military would utilize all...

Sensitives as intel and ops agents...

Healers as medics...

Physicals as soldiers...

Melters of varying focuses as agents, soldiers, or special forces...

Bursters as Incindiaries...

It all really depends on the specific mission you want to acomplish...

As for who uses them: CS, Laslo, Psyscape (obviously), FoM (except for Dweomer)...

lets see.

psi healers make great medics, and are espacially good with feild surgery as no instments are required, or dugs, or anything.

Busrtsers and zappers make great shock troops, put the burserts in teh front line and watch them incinerate everyone. a few of them making fires and the rest fueling them will make the front line a line of fire, literally.

psi-warriors obviously are good infantry.

psi-sensitives and psi-stalkers are good intelegence opratives

psi-slayers are great for covert ops and assassinations.

Mind Bleeders with brain scan and bleed truth, along with contemp for ofthers for tourture make the worlds greatest interrogators :D

Mind Melters can fit any role, they are so versitle. put them where you need a jack-of-all trades, where you need more than one area of expertese. a high-level mind melter with appropite skills can do any job in the military

Have your Psi -techs in the labs making modifying and building NEW more POWERFUL methods of war.

Have Psi Warriors/Slayers utilizing said weapons from long range and then when melee starts they can utilize thier Psi Swords

Have bursters be your artillery... a 20-40 ft wide barrier of fire will be great... and when your men get out of the way and fuel it to 200-400 ft wide.

Have Mind Melters be infiltrators... they can get into people minds and control people makes espionage very easy.

Have your Druids be healers for the battle field.

Give Zappers the equipment the Psi Techs make have them be shock troops... (I personally think Zapper is the weakest psionic... they get totally jyped in the power department they are good for cannon fodder and roleplaying, not being a fight and survive character)

Have your nega-psychics and psi nullifiers be up in the front line to knock out the enemies magic and psionics.

Feed them all Psi-Cola daily to keep thier fix up... and you have a supercharged army ready for battle.

Nullifiers hands down. Equipped with armor and weapons, they'll wipe the floor with any other tech based group particularly with mechanical paralysis. Magic or other psi based groups wouldn't have much luck either. What better way to set an ambush then to be closed to the supernatural.

Psi Healers = medics

Bursters, Zappers, Psi-Warriors, Psi-Slinger = infantry, assault

Psi-Stalkers, Dog Boys, Mind Bleeder = intelligence, counter measures

Psi-Slayers, Psi-Ghost = covert ops, special forces

Psi-Tech = mechanic

Mind Melters = Jack-of-all-Trades

Some psi-techs in the field to gage the enemy's tech wouldn't be a bad idea either. Also could be used to covertly sabotage the enemy's tech, being able to "fix" it on demand for your sides use. :demon:
