I am using two longswords as weapons and i'm looking to min/max everything to the best to anyone's ability. I was thinking along the lines of the Epic Psychic Warrior (as the example in the Epic Level Handbook 3.5 on page 23, but I have very little experience with psionics) and I have 2,500,000 gp to play with here, so the swords need to be amazing as well. Any and all help will be appreciated!

Both require a feat of course, but the whipblades give you better crit range, and there are a couple psionic weapon enhancements based on critting. The double-sword gives you the option of putting two hands on it and getting the 1.5 STR for your single swings, and it nullifies the off-hand size penalty (or saves you a feat) you would have with dual longswords. Psiwar 6/ Illithid Slayer 10/Psiwar6 2 (CL22 ECL24 ML21)-- I am not sure what the Illithid Slayer progression in epic would grant. It might make more sense to just get more Psiwar, since you get a great feat progression rate.

Use expansion every fight you can... base weapon damage means more healing with vampiric blade. Reach is important with Spellcasting Harrier. Obviously use psionic lions charge whenever possible. With mindfeeding and quicken power, you will have temporary points to BURN. Use them. In epic, spellcasters are probably your most dangerous foe. You should be able to deal with, outmaneuver, just plain be more flexible than most melee types you ever run into. Spellcasting Harrier is better than the Mageslayer feat (it should be, it IS epic), since the caster won't KNOW you can swing at them anyway if they cast in your threatened area. At least not the first time, and they shouldn't be around to ever try again. Well, that was just off the top of my head. Good luck!
Zaknafein43608 12-07-05, 11:11 AM	Where do I find these whip-blades?
Khazra Reborn 12-07-05, 11:17 AM	I suggest: PW15/psycic weapon master10 Manifests 6th level powers, 16 BAB pre-epic. I would personally go with the elven thinblades (CW, 1D8,18-20/X2) or even better the double scimitar from eberron, if your willing to spend an EWP that is. You can get your crit up to 13-20 & use an increased multiplier 5/day. Buy an item of psionics lions charge & kill on the charge.
Zaknafein43608 12-07-05, 11:28 AM	How about the quickblade rapier?
loraque 12-07-05, 02:11 PM	A whip blade is the drow version of the elven thinblade. Except you get to make that thin metal WHAWP sound with the whip blades.
SwordOfJustUs 12-07-05, 04:52 PM	In which Book are the whip blades located?
Basselope 12-07-05, 07:22 PM	Ok, here's a rough idea. However, one thing that is important to know about the build is the Drow LA. Is that factored into the 24 levels making it a 22 PW with Drow or is it really a lvl 26 character with 2 for Drow and 24 for PW? I will assume on the side of fewer levels for the purpose of this post. It's always easier to add lvls than take them away. So, this is an odd idea and I'm sure it's not optimized to the fullest, but it is interesting: 1 Psychic Warrior 2 Psychic Warrior 3 Psychic Warrior 4 Psychic Warrior 5 Psychic Warrior 6 Psychic Warrior 7 Psychic Warrior 8 Psychic Warrior 9 Psychic Weapon Master (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20040827d) 10 Psychic Weapon Master 11 Psychic Weapon Master 12 Psychic Weapon Master 13 Psychic Weapon Master 14 Psychic Weapon Master 15 Psychic Weapon Master 16 Psychic Weapon Master 17 Psychic Weapon Master 18 Psychic Weapon Master 19 War Shaper 20 War Shaper 21 War Shaper 22 War Shaper Critical feats for this build: Dodge, Mobility, Power Attack, Psionic Dodge, Psionic Weapon, Weapon Focus, Expanded Knowledge (metamorphosis, needed for war shaper class), Improved Critical, Leap Attack(there might be prereqs I'm forgetting here) Stats in order of importance: Str, Int/Dex/Con, Wis, Cha Now pump everything into strength, give him a crystal scythe. It's not the greatest crit range but he will get it at 16-20 with a x4 multiple all the time and a x5 multiple 5 times a day. You need to have metamorphosis to qualify for the warshaper class The warshapper class gives you +4 to STR and CON at lvl 2. At lvl 4 you get Fast Healing 2 and other shift related healing. You will be able to manifest lvl 5 powers, but the focus of this build is to do a good amount of melee damage. Assume that Str is 34, that gives a bonus of 12. Start with 18, get 6 for lvls, 4 for warshaper and 6 from an item. Build his weapon with something like this: +5, Keen, 2 bursts of your choice (fire, acid, frost, etc) Assuming the above weapon, you leap attck, power attack for only 5 points, use one of your x5 crit multiples for the day and using psionic weapon you could end up doing something like this for a crit: 5d8 + 2d6 + 8d10 + 2d6 + 215 Yes, this is on a crit, but you can still expect to do damage on a regular attack w/o any thing special like this: 1d8 + 2d6 + 23 This is also with no buffs or powers going that might enhance even more. You should also have approximately 63 power points assuming you have an INT of 16. Looking forwards to comments and improvements.
