We played githzerai, working on reconquering the gith homeworld. It was discovered, but magic didn't really work there - the gods were dead, and all arcane magic was wild. We were all required to have at least half our levels in psionic classes, and this was back with 3.0 psi.Let me see if I can remember the party. This was back when we had a few more players, so...Monk/Psychic Warrior (me)Fighter/Psychic Warrior focused on the spiked chainPsychic Warrior/Gith Knight of some kind... sort of a githzerai version of a paladinShaper psion, focused on Astral ConstructsEgoist/Psionic Healer, focused on psionic healingPsionic Rogue (don't remember what book this was from, but it was similar to the psychic warrior, just with rogue-y powers and some limited sneak attack)Kineticist/PyrokineticistTelepath focused on Recall Pain, with the feat chain that let her do it for freeBy my recollection, we were pretty tough in melee combat, but couldn't deal AoE damage at all. In fact, the psions didn't really compare to an arcanist of equal level, except the summoner. The healer was pretty effective, and, since she had all the Psychometabolic powers, could actually tank pretty well too. The telepath and pyrokineticist really didn't pull their weight - the pyrokineticist didn't do as much damage as we expected, and the telepath focused on damage-dealing powers, rather than the knockout stuff. The two other Psychic Warriors suffered from a lack of armor, as I recall - they both took high Dex and light armor, which made their ACs suffer somewhat.I think, in general, you could do a game with all-psi pretty well, especially with the new rules. You'd have to make up some prestige classes to fill specific niches, but it would work fairly well.</blockquote>
