Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fedifensor" data-source="post: 3211673" data-attributes="member: 7289">Expansion isn't very useful until I can get the manifester level high enough to get minutes/level.  As for Force Shield - +4 shield AC (with an additional +2 insight AC from chain of defensive posture) is worth the 2-level dip and a standard action at the start of a tough combat.  Especially if I have a bit of warning before the combat starts.I was actually thinking of the Martial Discipline (Diamond Mind) property, to boost my attack roll.  Drop into a Diamond Mind stance or use a Diamond Mind maneuver, and I'd get +3 to the attack roll.  Right now, the best defense is a good offense...and I do have a lot of hit points.Already taken that into account.  I mainly plan to use the deep crystal when I need to hit hard and fast.  I won't need it in any round when I use Insightful Strike, since the damage won't stack.Taking 15 isn't quite worth it - yet.  Once I get Greater Insightful Strike, that's about +10 damage over average, or a consistant 90 HP hit at 11th level.  Still, most targets are going to have a Touch AC that's more than 5 points less than their regular AC, which makes Power Attack a better option on non-Insightful strikes.  Deep Impact is also nice if I want to guarantee the hit on anything better than a natural 1.I just can't spare two more feats for the Psicrystal Containment.  Besides, to really make it worth it, I'd want Greater Psionic Weapon as well.  It's something I'd do with a Psionic Warrior build, but the Warblade just doesn't have the slots for it.  A better option for this build would be to dip 4 levels into Warmind instead of 2, so I could get Hustle.  Actually, if I went that far, I may as well take 5 levels and get Sweeping Strike.</blockquote>
