[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 3772941, member: 6562"] Kill the half-elf (should be trivial at 3rd level) and make his player play a Cleric. :) - - - Get [i]astral construct[/i] ASAP because you don't have to heal summoned tanks. What feats and powers have you chosen already? If I had to build a 2nd level Telepath, here's what I'd do, aiming for efficiency across a bunch of roles (including "party face" and self-preservation in combat): 1st level: Psionic Body, Point Blank Shot, Speed of Thought -- [i]crystal shard, entangling ectoplasm, vigor[/i] 2nd level: [i]empathy, mindlink[/i] --- 3rd level: Expanded Knowledge ([i]astral construct[/i]) -- [i]psi suggestion, energy stun[/i] 4th level: [i]ego whip, read thoughts[/i] 5th level: Psionic Shot -- [i]dispel psionics, time hop[/i] 6th level: Psionic Meditation -- [i]touchsight[/i] and [i]energy bolt[/i] or [i]energy wall[/i] 7th level: [i]psi dimension door, psi dominate[/i] 8th level: [i]schism[/i] ... plus something else, possibly [i]empathic transfer[/i] 9th level: Empower Power (or Expanded Knowledge ([i]body adjustment[/i]) from the Psychic Warrior list) -- [i]mind probe, psi plane shift[/i] 10th level: Greater Psionic Shot -- [i]psi divination, trace teleport[/i] Note that most of your feats are [Psionic], so you'll get +2 hp at many levels (+4 at 1st level, for 8 + Con starting HP, same as a Cleric or Ranger). If the strategy isn't obvious, let me know, I'll spell it out more. :) Cheers, -- N [/QUOTE]
