How does a psion make a +2 sword?

[Greybar]

What Psionic power is the equivalent for requirements purposes of Magic Weapon or Greater Magic Weapon. I'm not super-familiar with psionics and I can't seem to find a good analogue.

said another way:
If you were in an all-psionics world, what would be the equivalent of a Wand of Greater Magic Weapon

thanks in advance!

The best analog is:

SRD:
Metaphysical Weapon
Metacreativity
Level: Psychic warrior 1
Display: Auditory
Manifesting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Weapon touched
Duration: 1 min./level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, object)
Power Resistance: Yes (harmless, object)
Power Points: 1
Metaphysical weapon gives a weapon a +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls. (An enhancement bonus does not stack with a masterwork weapon’s +1 bonus on attack rolls.)
Alternatively, you can affect up to fifty arrows, bolts, or bullets. The projectiles must be of the same type, and they have to be together (such as in the same quiver). Projectiles, but not thrown weapons, lose their enhancement when used. (Treat shuriken as projectiles, rather than thrown weapons, for the purpose of this power.)
You can’t manifest this power on most natural weapons, including a psychic warrior’s claw strike. This power does work on a weapon brought into being by the graft weapon power.
Augment: If you spend 4 additional power points, this power’s duration increases to 1 hour per level.
In addition, for every 4 additional power points you spend, this power improves the weapon’s enhancement bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls by 1.


But it is psychic warrior only, most unfortunate.

If I am remembering correctly though in 3.5 you dont need any special spell or power to make +# to weapons or armor. I will check my book after work if no one else has chimed in

The analogue to (greater) magic weapon is (greater) metaphysical weapon. So if you're making a dorje, that's what you'll use.

If you're making a permanent item though, you just need the Craft Psionic Arms & Armor feat.

From the SRD:
Craft Magic Arms And Armor [Item Creation]
Prerequisite
Caster level 5th.

Benefit
You can create any magic weapon, armor, or shield whose prerequisites you meet. Enhancing a weapon, suit of armor, or shield takes one day for each 1,000 gp in the price of its magical features. To enhance a weapon, suit of armor, or shield, you must spend 1/25 of its features’ total price in XP and use up raw materials costing one-half of this total price.

There is no spell prereq for enhancement bonuses to a weapon, you just need the feat and a caster level of 3x the enhancement bonus. I assume a psionic item creation feat would work the same.

Thanks everyone.

I'm making a psionic item-crafting NPC and got stymied when my original assumptions about being a psion (shaper) didn't seem to match what I needed to make things.

I think I'll just pretend that Greater Metaphysical Weapon is on the Shaper list...

I do believe that is what the feat, 'expanded knowledge' is for, but it does kindof suck. See if your dm will work with you, at worst maybe you can do some research time to make a power almost just like the metaphysical weapon (higher level, maybe some extra beanies, that sort of thing).

 

[Plane Sailing]

The analogue to (greater) magic weapon is (greater) metaphysical weapon. So if you're making a dorje, that's what you'll use.

I think that was in 3.0, but in 3.5 (XPH) they did away with greater metaphysical weapon and just worked with the basic one plus augmentation.
