The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Frogman?

I dunno. I've been looking over the d20 srd psionic stuff, I might try a psion (telepath). Something new, a young man unlocking the secrets of his own mind. A kind of bildungsroman.

The two of you look fine ... what did you have in mind Fru? Frogman?

Start off as a Fighter, multiclass as a Wizard.

Hmm ... sounds good to me. A Psion is basically like a wizard in terms of playability and such.

The psychic warrior gives you some psionic abilities (way less than a psion or a wilder) and good combat skills as well, if you want to go that route.

But I consciously try to provide for the psionic classes in my games, so if you want to go with a psion that would be great.

Many people opt for the "kineticist" variant on their first try with a psion - just as many wizards choose things like magic missile or burning hands as their starter spells a such. A telepath is fine too, though.

A simple warrior then? (i.e. no ranger or paladin or some such) And then later on you will take wizard classes?

Sounds fine to me.

Yeah, I was going to swap out the charisma for strength, so avoiding the psi-warrior route. I tend to dislike the idea of psychic energy bolts and the like. I like the idea of magic as flashy and energy and psionics as more subtle. I know it won't make the character quite as effective, but more enjoyable for me.

That is more than fine with me. I am tickled that someone actually decided to play a "non combat orientated" psionic class for a change!

Mulling over the choice, I've settled on the Soulknife for 1st level.

Hmm. :\

A soulknife?

Hmm ... okay. Fine with me.

Man ... two psionic classes at the beginning - an elven soulknife and a ... hmmm ... what race will your psion be frogman?

 

[Mycanid]

Hmm. :\

No worries Fru. If you want a soulknife a soulknife you can be.
