Ok, need some stra-ta-gy!

Make sure you off the familiar before plotting against him. Or, if you are not worried about it spying on you, take the little critter hostage, then kill it in front of him.

Assuming the Psywarrior can't use Expansion&Psionics Lion Charge with Power Attack and Great Cleave to annihilate that group (or most of them) in one attack...

And he's got that Sorcerer level, so don't forget True Strike!

What's wrong with red-headed stepchildren?


Dispel Magic should also be fairly easy, considering he's only a 5th level caster.

Actually, you don't need any strategy at all, he's the one who needs that. Desperately! :D

Bye
Thanee
 

Do your characters have reason to fear betrayal on his part? If so, they might "nip it in the bud," as it were, and not give him a chance to show his true colors in the first place. If the characters have no reason to be suspicious, I can't reasonably see them taking the rather specific anti-psion/sorcerer precautions people here are recommending.
 


He will be buffed to the max when/if he strikes. With a BAB of +4 he is dogmeat against a 7th level Paladin or 7th level Monk in a one-on-one without being buffed to the gills.

The Monk is likely to win handily in a grapple.

Keep your eye out for evil magic weapons that "just happen" to fall into the Psywarrior's hands...

It is a turn of phrase meaning roughly "a little too loudly in not being the father's biological child and therefore drawing extra negative scrutiny".

The more common usage I have seen is "like the red-headed child of the family" which has connotations of the father suspecting his wife has been unfaithful. Being red-headed also has connotations of being of volatile temperment. Or being some kind of omen, most likely a negative omen. Any of the above would be traditionally acceptable excuses for a patriarch to beat a child...
 

I think he may be buffed BEYOND the max.

His "owner" has recently taken over (from me) as GM of our game.

Since then, he's (the character) been complaining of headaches, shown a viscious temperment, and gotten progressively more feral. I thought we might be up against a lycanthrope, but I can't see anything that led into it.

He's also done a bunch of stuff that leads me to think that our GM might be "bending" a few rules to make for a more interesting encounter.

In the last fight we were in, he stood and concentrated for a round and then evicerated a fully healthy ogre in a single round. More likely than not, our GM is stepping outside the rules (as GM's are sometimes wont to do... guilty of it several times myself in pursuit of an interesting storyline) but I was wondering if anyone knows if there is any "legal" ways this could occur, and if so, what can we do to take him out when we need to?
