[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1714157, member: 5777"] Gah :( I had a big post all written out.. then gone :( I'll be brief this time as it is late. Effectively the psychic warrior doesnt have to worry about grappling, he automatically succeeds in attempts to resist grapples and autosucceeds in escaping them. So the psychic warrior wins that one. If for some reason that wasnt the case then the psychic warrior could pop up an augmented expansion and become size huge and put up form of doom. At this point he'll have massive grapple bonuses and some killer attacks. Vs the two demons above the psychic warrior I posted wouldnt have a huge amount of problem really, he is immune to most of their attacks. I can get through their dr effectively, although indirectly, though wound transfer and feedback. Vs large number of weak creatures I simply take some damage and then put out a huge burst of damage with empathic wound transfer, hostile. Healing and slaughter all at the same time. Vs regen and dr (if I cannot bypass normally) then empathic feedback will kill them eventually. As my character also does comparable damage to the fighter (about even) and way more when I need to (form of doom and/or expansion) we are both in the same boat, but my enemies will die to empathic wounds and con damage. Vs a single incredibly powerful enemy (such as the dragon) if my guy is outmatched I have my dim door to fall back on. If fighting is necissary for some reason then form of doom puts me up into the almost having a fighting chance (sortof, being able to deal a lot of damage before being slaughtered is a chance right? ;) ). If I get off a full powered psionic lions charge while form of doomed, expanded, and with strength of my enemy up then I'll actually have a chance, though still very small. Also, more things to take into account. The psychic warrior has massive bonuses to spot and listen, also he is immune to figments and glamors (no invis!), immune to mind effecting attacks and like abilities, can move much faster, has force armor so incoporeal touch attacks will have a much harder time, and my guy can go into any environment and be fine (no air? sure. underwater? whatever. plane of fire? bring it.) Having DR is nice, walking through walls is cool, being able to be undetectable for awhile is also very nice (even tremorsense and the like does not help), quick escape is always a plus, and overall being simply more versitile. Exchanging out a few items for better choices could up this guys power by quite a bit, I spent a lot of money on pretty fluffy things (strangely enough even the +4 book of str is mostly fluffy ;) ). But, even with how it is now I think that the psychic warrior pretty well wins out hands down. [/QUOTE]
