A bard/psion combines discipline with guile to outfox enemies just long enough to defeat them. You'll want high Intelligence and Charisma scores.
The psion/warlock grasps for power from all sources, whether by mastering your own psionic potential or by drawing on bargains with otherworldly entities. With good Intelligence and Charisma scores, you should be able to gather all the power you need.
