[QUOTE="SteelDraco, post: 470954, member: 359"] A monk/psychic warrior can do this quite well. Great fun, too. There are a number of powers and psi feats that let you pull this off well. Let me think here... Many of the psychoportive powers can be thought of as just moving really fast. Blur, Haste, Burst, etc, all work really well here. Speed of Thought and Mental Leap allow you to pull off some very impressive stuff. The 'Quicker than the Eye' feat from Song and Silence might be worth looking at, as well as Lightning Fists from Sword and Fist. That's what I played when I wanted a speedster character, and I found it was very effective, as well as being great fun. Not quite up to the standards of a tank in straight-up combat (poor to-hit rolls, mostly; even with a 22 Dex and Weapon Finesse I wasn't at the same level as someone with a high Str and a fighter-type BAB). However, it was very effective at setting up flanking and taking out spellcasting opponents. There are a few psi powers that will help out your combat ability; those are worth looking at. Deja vu... I just posted about this character yesterday. Odd. [/QUOTE]
