[QUOTE="Scion, post: 2715298, member: 5777"] The SRD version is simply 'slayer', likely because illithids are not open content. As such, with it you can choose 'any' favored enemy and you dont have to kill an illithid to get in. Hence, it is a bit overpowered in general, but with your guy I think that there would be enough antisynergy to balance that out. Generally speaking I think that if you picked 'psionic construct' with your favored enemy bonus then the bonuses of the class would be sufficiently low to look like a normal prc. (if your dm is still a bit hesitant point out the myriad of horribly overpowered caster prcs, especially divine ones, to show that it is less powerful and crazy than those.. maybe that would help ;) ) Still though, there are several choices that you have to make. If you go pure psychic warrior then you will have a lot of good personal buffs and you can pick up astral construct with a feat (you can do this with pretty much any of the manifesting classes, so you dont have to worry about being a shaper only to get it). However, you will be sorely lacking in the pp department. Between them not getting a lot to begin with and your low wisdom it is going to hurt. Given that you are going to pick up adamantine body (I believe you said this is definate) I think that one of the perks of warmind is overwritten and if your dm doesnt allow practiced manifestor then the lack of manifestor levels is going to hurt a 'lot'. Really though, I think for this character you will almost certainly want to go the Ranger2/psion(egoist or shaper)4/SlayerX. Get your stats so that your int is really high and you will be rolling in the skill points. Pick up astral construct and you will be able to make your own little buddies. (add on overchannel to make them a little better and get a wand of cure light wounds to fix the damage) Pick up metamorphosis so that you can change into any other construct that you like at the time, or even be able to pass off as one of the fleshies for awhile. Pick up construct as your favored enemy, personally I think this is a great flavor issue ;) At, say, level 5 of slayer your saves will look like this: F: +5, R: +5, W: +8 Which isnt too shabby. I think this guy would just be incredibly fun to play. I might have to make one someday..lol It is unfortunate that a lot of the choices you are looking at dont synergize very well though :( [/QUOTE]
