[QUOTE="Scion, post: 2552246, member: 5777"] I believe that there are a few different versions of the thrikreen floating around, which would you prefer to use? Make sure that you get multiweapon fighting. I doubt multiattack is generally worthwhile though. I think weapon focus would be a better choice at that point. Also take improved natural attack, get those natural weapons really working for you. Along with a good amulet of natural weapons (expensive, but very good for this guy). Assuming that you are going to use the one out of the psionics handbook then you are looking having 2 racial hd and +2 LA. Pick up a feat to make all of your psi-like abilities act as though your manifestor level is up to +4 higher but no higher than your current hd. This will help a lot for useing those abilities. Two levels of psychic warrior will get you your extra point of BAB for War Mind along with netting you 2 bonus psionic feats. I would suggest speed of thought and up the walls. Unless of course there is a racial paragon for thrikreen somewhere or maybe you can make one up with the help of the board here if there isnt. Then with three levels of that you might be able to really round out the character. After those requirements are met then hit War Mind, once you get to level 5 with this the sheer number of strikes you could do in a round will be staggering. But since each doesnt do a whole lot of damage it hopefully wont be that big of a deal for the dm ;) So, you would have: Thrikreen4/Psychic Warrior2/WarMind6 That is enough for sweeping strikes and DR 2/- to go with everything else. With a base speed of 50', a BAB of +9, and 5 attacks in a round you should be good to go! Oh, and saves of F:+8, R: +8, W: +5 which arent too bad for base saves. If you are going to go the racial paragon route, assuming one can be made/found, it may change things up a little, but the character above will be pretty nice. Especially if you can get 'practiced manifestor' as well (the corallary to practiced spellcaster). [/QUOTE]
