(due to the fact that psionics are listed as a spell like / psi like ability in the SRD, a psionic character can qualify for the MotUH as is, with no alteration to the class. )starting with an 18 cha, the race and templates put my cha at 32. add a +4 tome, and a +6 vest or cloak and that's a 42. not too bad for only half trying. using the level adjustment buy off rules, and the adjusted LA rules in the savage progressions articles, and you can take each LA one at a time, buying it off three levels later. now 17th level, and only a +1 LA from his final level of ghost, which will be bought off at 18. a few ranks in diplomacy, sense motive, bluff, and intimidate and he's all set. oh, and he gets CHA to concentration checks, immune to all mind affecting (dead or alive), undead qualities, turn resistance, immune to enchantments, and a host of fey-based spell-like abilities in addition to the ghost abilities, psionic abilities, and master of the unseen hand abilities. a practice manifester feat brings his ML up to 16, and he can surge for +3 ML. not to shabby for a dead guy.with all the telekinesis, he can pull off a raft of jedi tricks, he even has the stygian bolt power for the black lightning effect. i debated adding the blade of light power or giving him a ghost touch brilliant energy weapon, but that was a bit much, so i forebear.</blockquote>
