Meet Poof, my Warlock/Sorcerer hybrid

[TarionzCousin]

With a name like "Poof" I expected his race to be "a Magic Dragon(born)."

 

[DracoSuave]

Coming to look at it, Dishearten's good as an AoE psychic attack, upgrade to Mind Wipe, and it does more of the -2 to attack shtick that works so nicely here.

Betrayal and Mind Break also work very well, altho Memory Hole is Eyebite but Psion....

hmmmm....

For 1 this is not supposed to be a ultra optimized build, its supposed to do a few things REALLY well.

This is my reworking of this character, I took Dracosuave's ideas to heart, knowing about implement proficiency was very helpful.

Im not really a fan... at all of psionics. Just not my thing, it was hard enough to make this guy a shardmind, but psychic focus is REAL good for this build.

This is a much better character imo, a little more damage, and it occured to me that my int mod wasn't giving me much.

The idea of this character is sort of like a ranged Pursuit Avenger, I single one guy out, and make him chase me down, and reduce his action availability and effectiveness so I can whittle him down.

Nifft I am aware psychic lock is only to 1 roll, but unless I am mistaken, the majority of monsters only get 1 attack (i understand its not the overwhelming majority, but I do think its more than 50%)

I don't know if it's just me, or maybe I've been watching a bit too much BBC, but the word Poof has, um, certain other meanings across the pond in Britain.

Urban Dictionary: poof

Yeah, all I was thinking when I saw the thread was:

"Have you seen the new Poof?"
"Shh! We don't need another lawsuit!"

I was thinking of naming her "pile of sticks" but that seemed a lil wordy and more obscure.

 

[DracoSuave]

You could call him Bamff and claim that it's a ski-resort in Canada, and not a Nightcrawler reference.

 

[Flipguarder]

I got a question for you guys, do I have to take both arcane implement proficiency and superior implement training, or can I just take the latter?

You need both, unfortunately.

And orb is the only way to get an undeniable energized (psychic). The other undeniable implement; deathbone rod, doesn't give a second trait you want, and the other energized (psychic) implement, mindwarp staff, has distant. Crystalline Orb is the only one that does both in one nice package.

Altho, a Mindwarp Staff of Ruin is also worth looking into for redonkulous damage.

Cute... but unfortunately its spelled "Banff".
