That's almost as good as a regular monk's d20 and significantly better than the d12 a monk gets at higher levels. Adding in Claws of the Bear ups that figure even more. A PsyWar can kick out more damage than a monk per hit, and gets almost as many hits if you take 1 level of monk for flurry.In lieu of deflect arrows, use the PsyWar's bonus feats to pick up Return Shot (prerequisites: Dex 13+, Point Blank Shot, Psionic Shot, reserve power points 5+). Even better, get both, since Deflect Arrow and Return Shot have a fantastic synergy. "If you also have the Deflect Arrows feat (see the Player's  Handbook), you make return attacks at a bonus equal to your foe's full ranged attack bonus + your full attack bonus."Increased AC is for high-INT, high-Wis PsyWars who can get Shield of Prudence (+6 insight bonus, 1 hr per level), Ectoplasmic Armor (+10 armor, 1 hr per level, acts as a force effect), Animal Affinity to boost DEX and WIS (for PsyWar/Monks- although it's not going to be as effective in 3.5 if they change the duration to 1 minute per level), Displacement for a 50% miss chance, Inertial Barrier (zero gold piece cost Stoneskin with a few minor additional gas immunities), and the Inertial Armor Feat (+4 AC, reserve of 1 pp). A naked PsyWar 20/Monk 1 with a 14 in WIS and DEX can have an AC of 36+ with a few power points. Add in a bunch of other magic items and its definitely competetive with a monk. If he does get hit, Improved Biofeedback, Claws of the Vampire, Inertial Barrier and Displacement will take the edge off the attack.PsyWars can take heap amounts of damage, far more than even a raging barbarian.Greg</blockquote>
