[QUOTE="mellored, post: 6707511, member: 6801209"] [b]Thought Switch[/b] Originally purposed by svendj, it's the psion's turn to join the switch party. This is a high level build (kicks in at 17), but functions at lower levels spamming dishearten and lazylording it up. (svendj's Mindswitch(x), works better at lower levels, this one works better at high level). This build [COLOR=#ff0000][u]depends[/u][/COLOR] on your allies having a good Opportunity Attack. But having a a good melee basic attacks and agile opportunist would make it even better. On turn 1, Allies will gain: Positioning: Shift 7, Slide 1, Enemy slid 9 Lots of Attacks: *Opportunity action: OA *Free action: OA (+to hit/damage) *Immediate action: MBA. (with agile opportunist). *Free action (2 allies): MBA. Accuracy: +7 for some OA's. 1 reroll for an OA. 1 free floating roll. Damage: +7 for some OA's. +2 always. +9 Damage vs 1 enemy. Totaling (with 4 allies) = 14 attacks, and 208 max bonus damage. And +9 to everyone's initive. [b]Build:[/b] [sblock] Fey Beast Tamer (owl bear) Psion|Warlord/Time Bender/Sage of Ages. 20 Int, 16 Cha, and 10+ Wis. Tielfing (Secrets of Belial -> Opportunity Seized), +Int/Cha (pixie) race, or revenant (+cheeze). Feats: *arn't necessarily needed. 1) Hybrid Talent (inspiring) 2) Expertise Tax (staff or orb are both good, dagger is also possible) 4) Defense Tax (or superior will and lightning reflexes) 6) Superior Implement (Crystal Orb, or Accurate) 8) Superior Relexes. 10) Imperious Majesty 11) Combat Commander 12) Vistani Heritage 14) *Tail Slide, to trigger more agile opportunist. 16) Skill Power (insightful riposte). 18) *Controlling Advantage 20) MC Arcane (for sage of ages). 21) *Superior Initiative (may be overkill) 22) Vistani Foresight 24) Secrets of Belial -> Opportunity Seized ... Powers: 2: Inspired Belligerence 6: Reorient The Axis 10 (6): Opportunity Seized 16: Insightful Riposte 17: Forced Opportunity 22: Forceful Repositioning 23: Sudden Control 27: A Plan Comes Together Items: Ring of Free time. Helm of Exemplary Defense / Helm of Battle. Violet Solitaire. Arcane boosters. Initiative boosters (Weapon of Speed). Rerolls (Irrefutable armor, luckblade dagger). Mount. [/sblock] Alternates: Forceful Repositioning: needs your allies to play along (agile opportunist), if they don't drop this. -> Knights Move. Not just for repositioning. Since it's a full move action, you could say... give the avenger a chance to oath, a rogue a chance to low slash, or a defender a chance to mark (which you can trigger). -> Hidden Opportunity. 1/day crit isn't a bad. Timebender ->Battle Captain, +2 to hit for everyone. You do loose your extra die though. + halistar clone theme, another way to get an extra move action. ->Flame of Hope, better vs solo's. *Vistani Foresight and the Violet Solitaire (+lot's of rerolls) give you get 5 combat's with AP's. Your accuacy is 15 (lvl) + 9 (int) + 6 (enh) + 3 (feat) + 2 (CA) +2 (trick) + 1 (superior) = 38. 38 vs 42 = hit on a 4. Best 2 out of 5 rolls, +3, insightful riposte, +1 AP. ~ 99.9%. [/QUOTE]
