[QUOTE="yennico, post: 2153592, member: 11978"] Charming rogue sounds like a rogue/telepath. If you are not very familiar with the Psionics rules why not change your concept to a rogue/sorcerer or rogue/wizard ? Your attributes except one are only average. I do not know how you distribute your rolls on the attributes. You can put the 17 in Dex, Int or Cha. Many skills of the rogue are dex or cha skills. With a high Int you get more skill points. Each psionic discipline is based on a different attribute. A psion needs like a wizard an attribute of 10 + level of the psionic power to take a power from a psionic discipline. With a high dex you should take the class nomad. That means you get access to spider climb, knock, dimensional slide, dimension door, teleport With a high cha you should take the class telepath. That means you get access to charm person, detect thoughts, suggestion, charm monster, domination With a high int you should take the class shaper. That means you get access to Summon monster, fabricate IMHO a rogue with high int should take wizard instead of shaper, because a wizard can learn all spells of a level. Compare a psion to a wizard. A wizard needs only one high attribute and can learn every spell from a level. A psion is similar to a sorcerer. He can not learn every power and the powers are based on different attributes. A PrC for a rogue/psion is the soulknife in the Psionics handbook. For other PrCs look at the Wizards [URL=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/arch/psi]Minds Eye Archive[/URL] I can not give you much advice because I only played once a psychic warrior, but a seer is similar to a specialist wizard: diviner. I have played several times a rogue/diviner (prohibited school: either necromancy or evocation) and divination is a very cool specialization for an rogue/wizard. [/QUOTE]
