Once again, we are god damn adventurers.
For some reason were special.
We go out and do heroic acts that are worthy to be added to bardic epics.
So in a low magic world I actually LOVE to see my PC's all wielding atleast a small amount of magic.

Psionic qualifies as "magic". Magic in tabletop gaming is nothing more than a blanket term and is more or less synonymous with "power". HOW it is manifested and from WHERE are another story. Whether you are a Divine caster and receive your power from the gods/nature, an Arcane caster who uses spellbooks, scrolls and implements to conjure, enchant, etc., or Psionic who can manifest powers with their mind alone. Therefore, if we are dominately a psionic party, we will naturally stand out on this fact alone, especially if we are in a low power setting...though from a mechanics perspective, a 20-point buy consititutes a High Fantasy setting...

And a low-magic world is wonderful because you get to see this wide variety of reactions to magic-- or psionics. (Honestly its the same concept in both)
Characters will enter a town and wonder "Will using a spell get me obediance, worshippers, and tribute? or will they all turn on me, call the local priests, and see if i sink when tied to a boulder and dumped into the river?"

To be fair, non-caster parties can wander into a town and ask the same thing about overthrowing the people in power.
It has nothing to do with "are we going to overthrow these peons"
It has everything to do with "Should I try and hide my power or should I show it?"
Also in a high-magic world--- like this one-- i dont think an all psionics party will really stand out much.
