[QUOTE="Dougal DeKree, post: 184882, member: 1353"] [b]8th lvl[/b] Ok, a Psionic won't be as good as a sorc, but he still can have spells with area-damage. Nice is Whitefire, does 5d4 and has long range. Also nice is sever the tie, which does a lot damage to undead and ONLY to undead inside a given area. both are linked o con i think, but i am not sure. The point is, will you rather be doing closer combat/manifesting, or from a range? If closer, i would propose you take Monk at 1st lvl, then Psionic and get all those mean powers which improve unarmed damage and close-combat effects, like the various cones there are. like stomp, making opponents fall down (and if used on cavalry... ;) ). remember, this gives AoO AND they lose their dex, which means sneaks for you rogue (or you, if you take a lvl of roge instead of the lvl of monk, BUT that would mean you loose evasion...could take 2 lvl's of rogue though). The best combat mode for you will be the most expensive one, Mindblst. Cha is the stat and it is a real killer costing 9PP. Always remember, with a feat enlarging the range of a power, areas get MUCH bigger (quadruple AREA). Your problem will be that most of the damage-powers tend to affect only one target at a time. The powers i liked most were spiderclimb, skate, sever the tie (played in an undead-heavy campaign), charm monster (max size huge, not large as in the normal spell...can charm a dragon, i had a DC of d20+11 with my telepath at 8th lvl without buffing) and inflict pain (of course). But better check out the powers yourself. Dougal DeKree, retired gnomish Illusionist [/QUOTE]
