Message: <blockquote data-quote="FormerlyHemlock" data-source="post: 7675309" data-attributes="member: 6787650">I really liked the 2E psionicist post-Will and the Way. The ability to research and improve specific psionic powers was what really sold me. I had a dwarf who improved Deflection to the point where it was reflexive (like Absorb Energy) so he got a chance to deflect every single attack that hit him--that felt awesome and very different from wizards. Also, some of the TWATW powers were just unbearably cool, like the one that collapsed a bladed weapon to two-dimensionality, and the other that wrapped a Dimension Door around yourself. Good times.My reaction to the new material is that it's just begging for an Immortal/Fighter or Immortal/Barbarian multiclass. Regeneration at 3rd level is unbearably sweet.A couple other notes:* If you start out as a fighter, Strength of the Mind will let you have three saving throw proficiencies at a time. Str/Con/Dex for example goes very well with barbarian Danger Sense.* Barbarian rage is incompatible with spellcasting but not with psionics.* Action surged Lethal Strike novas are nasty. I'm not really a nova guy but 47 points of damage per hit  with up to six attacks is impressive. And unlike paladin smites it works at range. So does Sharpshooter Ethereal Weapon, I think.I miss psychometabolism. It was always my favorite discipline, not because turning your hands into weapons and your skin into armor was powerful (it wasn't, not even on metal-poor Athas) but because it was so cool.</blockquote>
