Fighters book (we'll need to buy this if there are some good concepts in there).  Sorry, but PsiHB is out =(I just can't come up with any more "original" fighter concepts that we haven't tried already, there are only so many you can make.  If anyone can suggest some concepts, it would really help us get the ball rolling on his new character.</blockquote>
