[QUOTE="Scion, post: 2335341, member: 5777"] Just a basic writeup, if anyone sees any problems let me know, sometimes pulling through different sources can make for some oversites. (I had to give an extra level of class so that I could use the same armor on each build) Human psychic warrior 3 Hit Dice: 3d8+3 (avg 20) Abilities: Str 14, Dex 13, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 15, Cha 8 Armor Class: 21 (+8 full plate, +2 heavy steel shield, +1 dex), touch 11, flat-footed 20 Base Attack/Grapple: +2/+4 Attack: Longsword (d8+2 19-20/x2, +4), Mighty +2 Composite Longbow (d8+2 20/x3, +3) Skills: 18 skill points from psychic warrior list Saves: Fort +4, Ref +2, Will +3 Feats: 3 any feats, 2 psychic warrior feats (fighter + psychic) PP: 6 Powers: 3 1st level powers Manifestor level: 3 Human psion 3 HD: 3d4+3 (avg 12) Abilities: Str 10, Dex 13, Con 14, Int 15, Wis 12, Cha 8 Armor Class: 11 ( +1 dex), touch 11, flat-footed 10 Base Attack/Grapple: +1/+1 Attack: dagger (d4 19-20/x2, +1), light crossbow (d8 19-20/x2, +2) Skills: 30 skill points from psion (x) list Saves: Fort +3, Ref +2, Will +4 Feats: 3 any feats, 1 bonus (psionic, metapsionic, psionic item creation) PP: 14 Powers: 5 1st level powers, 2 2nd level powers Manifestor level: 3 Human soulknife 3 HD: 3d10+3 (avg 24) Abilities: Str 15, Dex 13, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 10, Cha 8 Armor Class: 17 (+4 chain shirt ,+2 large shield, +1 dex), touch 11, flat-footed 16 Base Attack/Grapple: +2/+4 Attack: Mind Blade (d6+2 19-20/x2, +5) Skills: 36 skill points from soulknife list Saves: Fort +3, Ref +4, Will +3 Feats: 3 any feats, Weapon focus (mindblade), Wild Talent PP: 2 Special: Throw mind blade, Psychic Strike +1d8 --- Kri'Loroth (base) HD: 2d8 (abberation) Large sized Weak Build Low light vision Psychic voice +1 pp/hd psi ability with metaphysical weapon and inertial armor 2 psionic feats Kri'Loroth psychic warrior 1 Hit Dice: 3d8+6 (avg 23) (better by 3) Abilities: Str 16, Dex 15, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 17, Cha 10 (better, obviously..lol) Armor Class: 20 (+8 full plate, +2 heavy steel shield, +1 dex, -1 size), touch 10, flat-footed 9 (worse, although this version has a higher dex, so later on this guy could go for mithril to takd advantage of it, but then he couldnt have adamantine armor, tough call) Base Attack/Grapple: +1/+4 (worse in bab) Attack: Longsword (d8+3 19-20/x2, +3), Mighty +3 Composite Longbow (d8+3 20/x3, +2) (better in damage, worse to hit) Skills: 15 skill points for base race skills ,3 skill points from psychic warrior list (worse) Saves: Fort +4, Ref +2, Will +6 (same, same, better) Feats: 2 any feats, 1 psychic warrior feats (fighter + psychic), 2 psionic feats (worse, surprising isnt it? lol) PP: 4 (worse) Powers: 1 1st level power (worse) Manifestor level: 1 (worse) Special: Low light vision (better) So, take this as you will, but I think it is a tough call between the two. Kri'Loroth psion 1 HD: 2d8 + d4 +6 (avg 21) (much better, no surprise there! ;) ) Abilities: Str 12, Dex 15, Con 16, Int 17, Wis 14, Cha 10 (better) Armor Class: 11 (-1 size, +2 dex), touch 11, flat-footed 9 (same, same, worse) Base Attack/Grapple: +1/+2 (same, better in grapple) Attack: dagger (d4+1 19-20/x2, +0), light crossbow (d8 19-20/x2, +1) (better damage on dagger and worse to hit, worse to hit on crossbow) Skills: 25 skill points for base race skills, 5 skill points from psion (x) list (tough, I think the human has the advantage though, it depends on which psion was picked though) Saves: Fort +3, Ref +2, Will +7 (same, same, better) Feats: 2 any feats, 1 bonus (psionic, metapsionic, psionic item creation), 2 psionic (better, definately) PP: 6 (worse, much) Powers: 3 1st level powers (way worse) Manifestor level: 1 (worse) Rather a lot like taking 2 levels of psychic warrior actually, with some interesting twists, worse in some ways and better in others.. but definately worse than a straight psion for manifesting. Kri'Loroth soulknife 1 HD: 2d8+d10+6 (avg 24) (same!) Abilities: Str 17, Dex 15, Con 16, Int 14, Wis 12, Cha 10 (better) Armor Class: 17 (+4 chain shirt ,+2 large shield, +2 dex, -1 size), touch 11, flat-footed 15 (same, same, worse) Base Attack/Grapple: +1/+4 (worse bab) Attack: Mind Blade (d6+3 19-20/x2, +4) (1 better damage, 1 less to hit) Skills: 20 skill points for base race ,6 skill points from soulknife list (way worse than the human) Saves: Fort +3, Ref +4, Will +6 (same, same, better) Feats: 2 any feats, Weapon focus (mindblade), Wild Talent, 2 psionic feats (debateable, but I'd say better for the Kri'Loroth) PP: 2 Special: None (definately worse) This guy is definately better off being human by far ;) Now, I know it looks powerful just being written out, but taking the above into account what do people think? Can any of you show with a build where it is overpowered? At this point it is roughly equal at least and just at a guess later on the bonuses will be mitigated by being behind in class features. If anything is broken or if people can find a big overpowered combo feel free to let me know. I seem to have forgotten where I put the racial skill list.. it only had about 4 or 5 skills on it though. Did I miss anything in these builds? [/QUOTE]
