Our psychic warrior usually opens with a charge on whatever looks like it can deal the most hurt, and tries to deal enough hurt to make it want to hurt him. With his through-the-roof AC, he tries to keep as many things attacking him as possible, while using his spiked chain to control the...

I currently play an epic-level PsiWar, and I can't recommend the class enough. You don't hit quite as hard as an equivalent-leveled fighter, but you make up for it in versatlity. As a back-up fighter, you can really shine - you have the ability to do almost everything the main fighter would do...

Weapons and armor do resize to fit the new form - check the description of Alter Self, last paragraph. Polymorph is essentially a higher-level form of Alter Self, so anything Alter Self can do, Polymorph does as well. As far as forms go, I rather favor the stone giant - 27 Str, 14 Dex, 19 Con...

Well, Psychic Warriors can get pretty powerful. I speak from experience - I play a 23rd level Psychic Warrior. If you can find the specialty, and run with it, then in that particular speciality, you're likely to be one of the strongest characters out there - properly buffed, that is. For...

Actually, yes, you read correctly - a 10-pp expenditure results in a +20 dispel check. You first receive the bonus from your manifester level (1d20 + your manifester level, maximum +10). Unaugmented, then, the power gives you 1d20+X, where X is your manifester level. This bonus is capped at...

Well, I've found a rather nice build for cheesing out AC: PsiWar 10/Psychic Weapon Master (3.0) 10, with Superior Expertise and a Monk's Belt. BAB +17, fairly decent saves, manifest as a 17th level PsiWar. Select all the defensive powers for the psiwar... AC tops out somewhere around 100. Just...

Well, this is one of our big problems - we have a huge party, but quite a few are inactive at any given time. Reliably, we'll have the psychic warrior, both clerics, the archmage, and the rogue. One psion we'll definitely have (the egoist), the second is only a possibility (player is currently...

Well, we did run into a poor broken-down dike in the last session. =b The dike was all washed-up, so to speak.

My party has gotten itself into a bit of a dillemma. We're a high-level party, with levels ranging from 17-20. Our group is currently in the middle of a rather lengthy, plane-hopping quest; we've been progressing in it, off and on, over the past ten levels or so. Anyhow, in the beginning of the...

The wizard in our group (currently 17th level) has his contingency set to polymorph him into a fire giant when his HP drop below half. His character is notorious for inadvertantly dying (so much so that we've got a seperate "mini" for his character, post-trap... it's a base with some flocking on...

So, let me get this straight... at 18th level, your fellow players think a 43 AC is too high? As you said, that 43 isn't going to stop the dragon from having its way with you. 43 is impressive if you're used to sub-10th level gaming. 43 is what high-level characters get without trying (for...

In no particular order: Hikaru no Go - What can I say, I'm a Go nut. When I first saw this show, it was like a breath of fresh air - no impending world destruction, no tragic sacrifices, just a kid and a ghost and a goban. It's funny, as well, and the Go is actually interesting. Well, if you're...

No, no no. It's when you get your AC up to 97 that you're hard to hit. :) Also, not to really add anything, but PC is right - you really don't need anything but the XPsiHB to build an effective PsyWar tank.

Absolutely, psychic warriors are some of the best tanks in the entire game. My current character is a Psychic Warrior 15/Fighter1/Psychic Weapon Master 3, and he is, essentially, the party's tank. He does, on average, 35 points of damage per hit, has 235 HP in his most-buffed form, and has a max...

Defensive Specialist. Well, I'm sure other people have managed to get it higher, but my character is a defensive specialist... at 19th level, he can get his AC up into the 70's, has higher resistances, damage reduction, and quite a few immunities. For extra twinkiness, a level of monk will give...

Our group calls ourselves the Paragons of Chaos, after this rather unfortunate incident with a lead golem and a reincarnated halfling... I mean, how were we supposed to know the DM used 3.0 reincarnation rules? Besides, "Mezzle the Boar Wizard" sounds so much more interesting than "Mezzle the...

84,000 gp, you say? Might I recommend the Skin of the Proteus? Granted, it's only caster level 7, but it gives you the incredibly awesome ability of Metamorphosis at will. Have fun turning into just about anything 7 HD or less, on demand. Or, you could save up your money/pawn off some of your...

"Future History." This started in the first session of our campaign... one of the players was fairly new to role-playing, so occasionally he'd drop an OOC reference IC. This led to our characters asking, "What's that?", to which he quickly responded, "Future history." It's now become our...

Thus far, in all my years (erm, so that's not many) of gaming, I've come across one nearly perfect gaming set-up. It was a basement room... and oh, what a basement room it was. First off, it was finished. Of course, "finished" doesn't quite do it justice. It was, for lack of a better word, the...
