Fighter/Psion

[Jdvn1]

I took Heal as a cross-class (my DM suggested it) and maxxed it. This is a low divine game, so there is no Clerics and whatnots running around. Cure spells are all neutered. There is a lot more doctor types around than cleric types.

What about Bards? They have Cure spells. Or Druids.

 

[Caeleddin]

JDVN1 - I don't have to take the Weapon Finesse feat. But I do have to take a Fighter feat. What would you suggest? The class(es) are fixed now. The approval process for this game takes too much effort to go through it again.

Bards, Rangers, Paladins and Druids all have their spells neutered. Cure spells heal a maximum of 3% of your max HPs per round and a max of 20% per die. Multiple Cure spells will increase the duration but not the rate. They are useless in combat, and Heaven help the raging Barbarian at 1 hp.

Check out the...umm...whatever that psionic healer PrC from Mind's Eye is.

 

[Caeleddin]

John - Prestige classes are banned as "they will unbalance the party".

 

[Jdvn1]

What books are you allowed to use? Core only?

 

[Caeleddin]

JDVN1 - Core and Psion Handbook.


Just got an e-mail. Scratch Body Adjustment off the list of powers I have. He "prefers" I not take any healing powers.

 

[Jdvn1]

So... Vigor? Temporary Hit Points? Otherwise, try to find ways to boost your Con because you'll definitely need it.

 

[John Q. Mayhem]

He doesn't want you to use healing powers? That's...faintly odd.

Fighters get a bonus feat at 1st and 2nd level.
3rd is a general feat barring HR
to replace cone? - body purification(restores ability damage)
you only have one ray - energy ray, so drop the split ray feat, E missle will cover most situations.

 

[Caeleddin]

Evilhalfling - I was planning on getting Disintegrate next level, but I see your point.

Good point on the feat. Dodge and Mobility perhaps? And get Psionic Body in the place of Split Ray?



John Q - He hates the idea of a Fighter getting beaten for 50 HP and then get healed for 50 HP in 1 round. So, only NPCs are Clerics (and there is like 3 of them in the area only). Thus, he is not allowing any "good" healing spells. All must be "natural".



JDVN1 - Well, I rolled well on my HPs. I have 58 hps now, 70 if I switch my Wis and Con (14 and 12 respectively now). More when I take Psionic Body. I have free 1st level slots, so I can definitely take Vigor. I also Expanded Knowledge (Animal Affinity), so my physical stats are all up by 4 at will.
