Message: <blockquote data-quote="SteelDraco" data-source="post: 836880" data-attributes="member: 359">I considered that. The basic reason I wrote this power up was so that I could emulate the ki strike ability of a monk. The way I picture githzerai monks as working, they don't actually have many levels in monk - they're mostly psychic warriors. Thus, I was thinking of ways to emulate monk abilities with psionics. I was considering taking LMB, but I don't really need to deal extra damage, just bypass DR. What would you think of a 1st level power that was fixed at bypassing DR like a +2 weapon?My comparison here was to the wizard's Jump spell, since psions get nothing similar. Leap is for just one check, and provides only one-third the bonus. I thought about putting in some wordage to the effect of 'all you can do in this round is move', but decided against it.Very true. A dependance on buffing powers is a problem for psychic warriors. I'm glad - otherwise, the class would be even more powerful than it is now.I'm not too enamored of the Biofeedback line. All it really does is improve the effectiveness of magical healing - it still takes just the same amount of damage to knock you down. Even if you don't die directly from the damage, you'll still be helpless, which is often just as good if there are still enemies about who can coup de grace you.Displacement, yeah. Great power. Claws of the Vampire? Broken as all get-out by the rules, and still very good with Bruce Cordell's nerf limiting it to the straight die of healing. Bite of the Tiger is nice - more attacks are always fun. But the rest? Eh. Prowess would be decent as a 2nd level power and fun as a psionic feat with prereqs that make it available at about 6th level. As a 3rd level power that provokes an AoO, it's just not worth it. Danger Sense and Ubiquitous Vision are too specific to be useful. A bonus against traps isn't going to come up much at all for a psychic warrior, and Ubq Vision is only useful if you're fighting rogues - otherwise, it's +2 AC in a limited situation, as well as small bonus to two skill checks. Not very impressive for something that is theoretically on par with fireball. fly, and blink.That's the plan. We're starting at 10th level - I'll be a Monk1/PsyWar7 with the githzerai racial ECL of +2.</blockquote>
