Faerie mystery initiate is not a WotC source. It's Dragon magazine. Good grasp on Schism, though.

130k? Wow. That's a lot. Almost three times the standard wealth for a level 10 character. Things you could get: +1 twilight radiant heartening buckler (36885): a +1 buckler with no ACP and no spell failure that acts as a permanent Energy Adaption spell. In comparison, a minor ring of universal...

Because epic manifesting relies on Psicraft, and because Autohypnosis is always a great skill to have. Resist Dying? Willpower? C'mon, that's a no-brainer.

Okay, where do we start... Does the player intend to take on prestige classes? or do he want to be a clean psion//wizard? Are alternative base classes allowed? General stuff first: - Abilities should be Int>Con>Dex>Wis>Str>Cha. Str isn't important for you but it determines how many stuff you...

Poor manifesters because they only get 10 powers without Expanded Knowledge. That's an awful lack of versatility. Skill-wise they have a nice list, sure, but Wilders usually don't have the high Int required to take all the skills they would need. Wilders need to max out Psicraft and...

The Craft reserve isn't bad either, you know... it means items of up to 1000 gp cost no XP to create, and that's a great idea when crafting, say, Belts of Healing, low-levels wands, low to mid-level scrolls etc.

True again...and if you take 4 levels of paladin you'd even get 16 BAB by level 20 and access to Turn Undead and thus divine feats. MAybe we got something here...

Yeah, well, he'd have to allow Dragon prestige classes too, and Green Whisperer has incredibly easy prereqs (only skills! no spellcasting or class abilities required!), so easy it is nearly unbalanced. BTW, Swift Avenger has ridiculous prereqs too... all other Swift feats require 3 levels of...

Variant 1: straight warlock with a 1-level dip into Artificer (Craft reserve and free Scribe Scroll is very good) as your 13th level. Warlocks with their high UMD, Imbue Item and Deceive Item are born to create and use magic items. That will compensate for the lack of options warlocks usually...

As mcuh as I love the roleplaying bit of Wilders, they just plain suck. Psychic Enervation is a pain in the back, they make poor manifesters, ridiculous melee, and low skills. Plus they're CHA-based, the game's worst stat in terms of CO. My advice, dip in for the Elude Touch ability and drop the...

Nothing comes to my mind right now... There's a very strong PrC for bards that "requires" you to take a few levels of Rogue or Monk (or any class granting Evasion), the Fochlucan Lyrist. Easiest access is Rogue 2 (or Monk 2)/Bard x/Druid y with x+y=8, depending on the orientation you want your...

Combine this with a two-handed weapon, Shock Trooper and Knockback for the following madness: Round 1, charge your opponent with full PA (if you Leap Attack, even better, it makes the free Bull Rush even more powerful). You get a free Bull Rush attempt from Knockback that's likely to succeed...

Yeah, well... take an ECL 5 goliath with 17 base strength +1 for level 4, make him a Barbarian 1/ranger 3, throw in Moutain Rage, and it would hit at +11/+11. Nothing surprising here. And I'm not even counting Weapon Focus or masterwork or magic weapons of any kind.

Well, have a go at some X/day items duplicating the Gith's racial powers, such as Inertial Armor or Plane Shift. Items emulating the gith's boni and penalties to stats would fit, too.

Karmic Strike is better than Robilar's Gambit and you can potentially get it much earlier, but the prerequisites are harsher (Combat Expertise and Dodge, meaning you also need 13 Int and Dex, while Robbie only needs BAB+12 and Combat Reflexes)

Careful. Duskblades don't suffer ASF from casting in medium armor, true, but they are not PROFICIENT with said armor. You gotta grab Medium Armor Proficiency from another class. And while you're at it, I find Improved Buckler Defense beats Animated Shields. Sure, costs a feat. But saves a lot of...

Thought about it, but... what if he turns against them later?

Yeah, well... PsyWar/Swordsage is better. Same HP, save saves, better AC, better skills, and maneuvers beat the monk's unarmed damage and Flurry of Blow anytime. VoP is suboptimal at higher levels. And compared to Swordsage, it is even suboptimal at lower levels...

I'd say the PCs first gain a quarter of the XP they would have earned for defeating him, and you treat further encounters with a modified EL (your first solution). But NPCs shouldn't earn XP.
