psychic warrior - the killing machine

First Post
i would like all you out ther ewith the psionic handbook out there to please make a psychic warrior of total levels of 14 using what ever race/class you want to the total of 14 levels the stats you get to start with are as follows

18,17,14,14,13,11

they can go where ever you wish this character will be in a group with very little healing and where there are also very few wariors who are willing to go toe to toe with the big guys

but instead of a AC monster which in my mind is far to easy i want you to instead think away around the massive AC or massive hp mode and instead make it possible for this guy to endure hell and come back with a smile on his face

have fun ive started mine already

:D

149,125/150,000 spent

Manifest Graft Weapon on spiked guantlets. Duration permanent.

Right before combat, manifest: Vigor (1 PP. 14 minutes), Inertial Barrier, Extended (9 PP- 280 minutes). Extended Cotv (7 pp, 28 hours), Extended Improved Biofeedback (7 PP, 24 hours) and Persistent Expansion (11 PP, 24 hours), Extended Animal Affinity: Str (7 PP, 28 hours, 2-5 STR, assumed below average of +3). All other powers are just supplementary. 42 PP spent. STR goes to 28.

Attack bonus = +10/+5 base, +1 graft weapon, +5 enhancement, +1 weapon focus, +9 Str = +26/+21
Damage = 1d8+1 graft weapon, +5 enhancement, +2 weapon specialization, +9 Str, +2 impact = 1d8+19

Defenses: Inertial Barrier grants 140 points of DR 10/+5, plus some minor benefits against gas attacks. If it's dispelled, Immoveablity is almost as good and last a whole lot longer, but denies all movement.

The first 18 points of damage go to the temporary hit points from Vigor.
Improved Biofeedback will convert the first 18 points per hit into subdual damage.

Each strike from the CotV will heal 1d8 (or more, depending on interpretation) to both subdual and actual damage.

The minor cloak of concealment will negate sneak attacks and cause a 20% miss chance.

Against ranged foes, use Call Weaponry and carry a quiver of normal arrows that Greater Magic Weapon can used on.

Suggestions: Use an encoded stone for the graft weapon, or a dorje. The 4th level slot can be swapped for Polymorph Self, and take a combat form like a hill giant to boost STR even more. Take the TWF feat chain to get additional attacks in lieu of Psionic Charge and Speed of Thought.

The 6th level power could be Ethereal Jaunt, for emergency escapes, or Ablating, but it's a very expensive cost-to-effect ratio.

Save cash and invest in the +2 Suppressing effect for the guantlets to automatically cast a negate psionics on anyone you attack, or get body feeder.

Jeesh I don't use the psionics books, but that character seems pretty unbalanced. Why would you ever want any other if your going to be a tank type?

Psychic Warriors are tough, but throw a few dispel magics or negate psionics at them and they loose most of their potency.

Solana what sources are allowed for making this character? Are we allowed the use of Minds Eye or the Bruce Cordel books?

It's not really legal, anyway. Claws of the Vampire causes your fingernails to grow 2 inches, giving you a claw attack that drains life from your opponent. Tough to use when your hand is covered in a spiked gauntlet. And even if you handwave that away, the +5 enhancement bonus from the gauntlet wouldn't apply to the claw attack granted by the power.

Actually, I think this is allowed because he's using the Graft Weapon power on of his guantlets to graft them to his hands. It's the Graft Weapon that gives you the weapon's +5 enhancement bonus to your unarmed attack. That's my understanding of it.

I'll post the psychic warrior I used in a one-shot later, once I have my books. Took a lickin' and kept on tickin', as they say.

In the example above why bother with Metaphysical Weapon when you can take Displacement? Psionic Displacement also has a range of personal so you can make it Persistant. Nothing like 50% miss chance from almost anything and no crits on your character.

Feral Half-Ogre Psychic Warrior 12

Large Humanoid

Initiative: +1 (Dex)

Speed: 30ft. (30ft. base, +10ft. template, -10ft. for heavy armour)

AC: 30 (+1 Dex, +1 deflection, +13 armour, +6 natural, -1 size)

Attacks: +3 wrathful healing Huge spiked chain +23/+18 or 2 claws +19/+19

Damage: +3 wrathful healing Huge spiked chain 2d6+20+healing or Claw 2d6+10

Face/Reach: 5ft. by 5ft./10ft. (20ft. with spiked chain)

Special Attacks: Improved Grab

Special qualities: Darkvision 60ft., Fast Healing 2, Giant Blood

Saves: Fort +18, Ref +11, Will +12

Abilities:
Str 31+(1d4+1) (18 base, +6 racial, +4 template, +3 level)
Dex 13+(1d4+1) (17 base, -2 racial, -2 template)
Con 18+(1d4+1) (14 base, +2 racial, +2 template)
Int 8+(1d4+1) (14 base, -2 racial, -4 template)
Wis 15+(1d4+1) (13 base, +2 template)
Cha 9+(1d4+1) (11 base, -2 racial)

Languages: Giant, Common

Feats:
1: EWP: Spiked Chain, Inner Strength (B)
2: Weapon Focus (spiked chain) (B)
3: Talented
5: Combat Reflexes (B)
6: Trigger Power (Animal Affinity), Weapon Specialization (spiked chain) (B)
8: Stand Still (B)
9: Power Attack
11: Psionic Weapon
12: Deep Impact

Powers known:
0th: Burst, catfall, valour.
1st: Combat precognition, skate, vigour.
2nd: Animal affinity, expansion, reach.
3rd: Claws of the vampire, displacement, improved biofeedback.
4th: Inertial barrier, psychofeedback.

Power points/day: 48

Items:
+3 wrathful healing Huge spiked chain
+5 full plate mail
+5 cloak of resistance
Dusty rose prism ioun stone
Pale green prism ioun stone
Slippers of spider climbing

Notes: The +(1d4+1) in the abilities is to represent the effect of Triggered animal affinities. Initially, you have +10 on a DC 15 check; boosting your Str first will make the other checks easier.

Since improved biofeedback lasts for 12 hours, you should be able to keep it running all day. Thus, every time you're injured, you will take at least 20 hp as subdual damage. Every time you land a blow (and you can use Deep Impact if you really need to land a hit), you heal half the damage done. When you heal regular damage via a spell or power, you heal an equal amount of subdual damage, thus effectively doubling the usefulness of the healing for you. If you really need a lot of healing right now, you can use psychofeedback to hike up the amount of damage you do. The fast healing will also help keep you topped up. Displacement and inertial barrier increase your survivability some more.

With 20ft. reach from the Huge Spiked Chain (+5ft. from reach if you feel so inclined), you can control the battlefield easily, using Combat Reflexes and Stand Still to stop people from closing. Plus, using skate and burst, you can move at a speed of 55ft. if you need to run away.

Mostly for magic arrows. The cloak is a cheap substitute and doesn't use any power points. A Persistant Displacement is a good tactic as well, even though the power point cost is barely within the max the PsyWar can spend for a single power.

Vurt is correct.

From the SRD:
"The manifester permanently attaches any weapon-mundane, psionic, or magical-onto the end of one of his or her arms. The weapon becomes a natural extension of the arm, and that hand is nowhere to be seen. If the character is proficient with the weapon, he or she adds +1 to all attack and damage rolls while using the weapon (this stacks with all other bonuses, including those granted by Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization). The grafted weapon becomes subject to powers that normally do not effect equipment, such as expansion. More importantly, since the weapon is a natural part of the character’s body, powers that normally only enhance unarmed attacks and touch attacks now apply to the grafted weapon.
However, the character loses the use of one hand and receives a -2 competence penalty on all skill checks requiring the use of hands. Powers that temporarily polymorph or metamorphose the character (or just his or her hands) can ignore the grafted weapon or alter it normally, at the manifester’s discretion. If the weapon takes damage, the character takes the damage as well. If the character is healed, so is the grafted weapon. If the weapon is destroyed, the character loses 2 points of Constitution; the ability damage persists until the character can graft another weapon or restore his or her natural anatomy (see below).
A character can change out weapons by using this power again. If the character manifests this power without any weapon, his or her natural anatomy returns (but the character can’t use this power to recover a limb lost through some other mishap).
"

This is the coolest PsyWar power. Based on my reading, which is an interpretation, it can't be dispelled either, it takes another Graft Weapon to get rid of it and it's instantaneous.

Believe me, this doesn't happen very often! Thanks! :D

Oh, and to keep things marginally on topic, I don't think you can have +5 impact spiked gauntlets. Impact only works on bludgeoning weapons (as per Magic of Faerun, p.140), but spiked gauntlets are considered piercing. Hence what you really want is keen instead.

Longbow +22/+22/+17: 1d8 +7+1d4, 20x3 Crit, 120'

Gaul is a versitle PC with lots of mobility & flexible combat abilities. One thing that may be a problem is I'm not sure if using flurry of blows with psionic claws is accualy legal, may be a house rule of mine (likewise allowing feats for unarmed strike benifit claws, though thoes you can simply change to claw if your DM dosn't allow it).

You mean Point Blank Shot for Gaul's first level feat, don't you? Or is there some other reason s/he's taking Rapid Shot twice without the prerequisite? ;)

thany you one and all for your posts on this touchy subject, touchy because our DM doesnt believe that psionics have any part in the standard DND adventure. i want to prove to my dm that if you spend some time on a psionist they can prove deadly and worth while allyies.

As for your thoughtfully and well presented characters thank you they are more then capable for the task at hand and i most appreciate this thoughtful jesture.

For my next thread which i would also appreciate you answering is the time old question in DND life

Which one is harder - the fighter or the barbarian ? :)
