[QUOTE="Ruslanchik, post: 4165501, member: 45251"] I am working on a level 10 character and am really intrigued by the Swordsage class and its potential synergy with Psychic Warrior and psionic feats. I am not sure, though, whether I should go straight Swordsage or if I should take levels in other classes. Any help here would be appreciated. The character will focus on Diamond Mind and Setting Sun maneuvers and will use a katana two-handedly. These things are certain. We will be using a point-buy system but I'm not sure how many points yet. Priority will be Str, Wis, Dex, Con, Int, Cha, I think. I have been considering a lot of options, but the two extremes are these: Human Swordsage 6/Psychic Warrior 2/Fighter 2 This build would give loads of bonus feats, some basic psionic powers, and better BAB, saves, and hp, but would lose some Swordsage class abilities and initiator levels. The initiator level would be 8. Or Psionic race (Xeph, Maenad, Elan) Swordsage 10 This build would give maximum initiator level and access to psionic feats while sacrificing lots of bonus feats. Initiator level 10. The feats I have in mind are (in no particular order): Power Attack, Improved Initiative, Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Katana (in case I need to fight one-handedly), Psionic Weapon, Greater Psionic Weapon, Deep Impact, Adaptive Style, Vital Recovery, Instant Clarity, Sudden Recovery. I definitely want this character to be psionic and a Swordsage, otherwise I'm open to anything. If possible I want to limit the books to PHB, XPH, and ToB to keep things simple, but I can use any WoTC book. Thanks for your help! [/QUOTE]
