[QUOTE="Macbeth, post: 1648762, member: 11259"] I was looking at the Kensai PrC. Li can't take it, unless he can get INT up to 13, so he can take Combat Expertise. So I was idly looking at other PrCs. And I found a perfect fit. Li was very impressed with Wu Cho, and his crazy skills. Li wants to be able to do things like Wu Cho. And so I think he's going to take the Psychic Adept Prc (when he qualifies). I had originally just skimmed the Psychic Adept, writing it off as just a PrC for Psychis Monks, but it has some great features that match Li's style: Psychic Strike: Unarmed attacks like a monk of his Psychic Adept level. Not a big deal, but it does make Li even more self sufficent, which is very fitting. Psychic Stamina: use Wis in place of Con for HP. And it's retrocative! Li has +0 Con, but +2 Wis. :) Battlemind: Add Wis bonus to AC. Just what Li needs to boost his AC. Perfect Balance, Body Equilibrium, Psychic Leap: Cool, almost monk-like, action movie stuff. I like the idea of Li taking on some of Wu Cho's style. Psychic Speed: All the better to run away. ;) I am a bit concerned about the Requirements. Li will need 8 ranks in three seperate skills. 8 ranks seems like a lot, and there has been some discussion in the Green Ronin boards about the requirements being too high. This is really a DM call, but some people have pointed out that 3-5 ranks is more in line with other PrC's, even skill based ones. Most PrC's become available around 5th-10th level, which the Psychic Adept theoretically does, but only if Body Control, Balance, and Concentration are all maxed out. Regardless, Li will aim for the PrC, it's just a matter of how long it will take him, getting at most 7 skill points per level (as a Psychic) and only 3 as a samurai. I am also interested in an improved Preemptive Defense feat. we had talked about this at one point. Perhaps the feat can be taken again to improve the bonus (and the strain)? If Li can retake Preemptive defense, he will put his next level in Psychic, take Preemptive Defense as his bonus feat, and sink a whole lot of skill points into Body Control, Balance, and Concentration (and Intimidate, of course). Otherwise, he'll probably take another samurai level, and still sink alot of skill points into Body Control, Balance, and Concentration. Oh yeah, and I found a missing XP Sheet. New total puts Li well on his way to 5th. [/QUOTE]
