Psychic warriors are cool, but they aren't dishing the damage in 3.5 that a fighter is capable of. Build me a 16th-level psychic warrior that matches this in pure combat prowess:28-point buy dwarf fighter 16: HD 16d10+96; hp 189; Init +3; Spd 20 ft., fly 40 ft.; AC 25, touch 9, flat-footed 25; Base Atk +16; Grp +23; Atk +3 giantbane falchion of frost +28 melee (2d4+17 and 1d6 cold, 15/x2 crit); Full Atk +3 giantbane falchion of frost +28/+23/+18/+13 melee (2d4+17 and 1d6 cold, 15/x2 crit); SA resounding blow (Will DC 19); SQ damage reduction 3/-, dwarf traits; AL CG; SV Fort +18, Ref +7, Will +11; Str 24, Dex 8, Con 20, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 12.Skill and Feats: Craft (stonemasonry) +19, Intimidate +20; Power Attack, Weapon Focus (falchion), Cleave, Improved Toughness, Weapon Specialization (falchion), Great Cleave, Resounding Blow, Improved Critical (falchion), Greater Weapon Focus (falchion), Close Quarters Fighting, Greater Weapon Specialization (falchion), Blind-Fight, Iron Will, Improved Initiative, Improved Overrun.Possessions: +3 giantbane falchion of frost, +4 dwarven full plate, boots of flying, amulet of natural armor +2, ring of protection +2, +3 cloak of resistance, +4 girdle of giant strength, +4 vest of endurance, bracers of shielding (shield 3/day).If this guy power attacks for 5, he deals 2d4+27 on a normal hit and 4d4+54 on a crit. He crits 30% of the time with the falchion. If he power attacks for 10, which is acceptable when fighting low-AC monsters, he deals 2d4+37 and 4d4+74 on a crit. Show me a 16th-level psychic warrior that can top this damage potential. I will publicly eat crow if you can do so with the same point-buy and using only the sources I used (WOTC 3.5 hardbacks).</blockquote>
