That Psychic Warrior Claw build

First Post
I remember having read a thread some time ago (couple of months?) about the PW and the fighter, and somewhere in there was a PW build posted that did obsene damage with claws. I got to thinking again about that recently, but I can't recall for the life of me why it was so powerful compared to just using a greatsword or something. Perhaps it was with the use of shaping powers or something... can't recall.

Anyway, I was wondering if some of you still remembered why it was good or just have some general advice about creating a PW that focusses on claws. I've always thought that would make a cool kind of character.

So far I've come up with a couple of powers and feats that seem like good choices for a character like this:
Powers (1st & 2nd): All the claw powers, Expansion, Prevenom, Dissolving Touch, Psionic Lion's Charge
Feats: Weapon Focus, Improved Natural Attack, Psionic Fist chain.

Doing pretty good damage with claws of the beast is pretty easy. Its just claws of the beast plus expansion plus Improved Natural Attack.

For example, an 11th level psychic warrior with all of that, using expansion to become huge, deals 8d6 + Strength bonus damage with his claws, and that's not bad.

At 15th level, the damage is 12d6 + Strength bonus.

I've searched through the rules forum, and this is what I found (threads containing the words "psychic" "warrior" and "claw" in the last year):

Thanks for the links! They were indeed exactly what I was looking for, both the wizards one and the one of the enworld one's that contained a build by Scion. I had seen both of them before, but after searching for half an hour on google I still could not find them...

You know what's funny? For some reason, Wolverine never popped into my head :confused:. And now that you mention it I'm like, duuuuuuuuuuh of course. Must've been one of those subconsious things :p
