[QUOTE="Slaved, post: 3631431, member: 43358"] Ok, I know that this is not exactly what you want as it is based on Valenar and that it will likely require some dungeon master approval but here is what I have found. These are the feats that you will most likely want. Action boost (roll d8's for action points), Ancestral Guidance (reroll 1 die when using an action point), Bladebearer of the Valenar (use action point on attack roll gain the bonus on damage as well), Psionic luck (expend focus while using an action point to roll d10 instead of d6, if you have action boost roll d12 instead of d10), Raging luck (when you enter a rage or frenzy gain 1 temp action point), Extra rage (gain 2 more rages a day) If your dungeon master is willing to be helpful you have a couple of options. Flaws (unearthed arcana I believe, take 2 flaws and get 2 feats, if you let your dungeon master decide which flaws you get it might be an easier sell) Research a power that makes you rage or Work with your dungeon master to create a mantle that allows you to rage a certain number of times a day (with these last two you probably do not need the extra rage feat) For the power I would suggest something like this Psionic Rage Psychometabolism Level: 1 Display: Auditory and Visual Manifestation Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Special (see text) Power Points: 1 You call forth your rage as a Barbarian does. This rage is effected by and effects anything that a normal Barbarians rage would. Instead of the normal Barbarian benefits you gain +2 to strength, +2 to dexterity, +2 to constitution, and +1 to willpower saving throws. You also gain a -3 penalty to armor class, instead of the normal -2, and the other normal drawbacks of raging. The duration of the rage is 3 rounds +1 round per point of your newly modified constitution bonus. Augmentation: 1. For every 4 additional power points you spend, the strength, dexterity, and constitution bonuses increase by an extra +2 and the willpower bonus increases by +1. 2. If you spend 4 additional power points you may manifest this power as a move action. If that power or the mantle is allowed then you can go Valenar Psion and later on pick up the Slayer prestige class for extra fun. Normally taking the first level in Ranger would be better for that route but you need that power, if the mantle is an option then first level of Ranger and then into Ardent and finally into Slayer works very well. With 2 flaws this build will basically start working properly between level 4 and level 6. With no flaws then you would have to give up Ancestral Guidance and take the level of Psion so that you could make the build work by level 6. That is all contingent on the dungeon master allowing you to get a power that makes you rage or a mantle that allows it however. But, if your dungeon master does allow this it looks like a lot of fun! [/QUOTE]
