7th level psionic build? [Archive] - Wizards Community

02-02-04, 11:55 AM We are going to have a one-shot adventure, where all the PCs must be psionics. I need a powerful build, in 7th level, with the following stats:

11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18.

Can anyone out there who's familiar with the psionic classes help me in this one?

Remember the build must be 7th level, or ECL 7, with any PrC's that you can find useful.

Thanx!

02-02-04, 01:07 PM One quick question - are you playing 3.0 or 3.5?

I'll put this up and then edit in a 3.0 build - maybe you'll have replied by then :)

Oh, and must you only be psionic? Could you have, for example, one level of Ranger too?

Edit:
7th level human psychic warrior

Str-18
Dex-15
Con-16
Int-14
Wis-13
Cha-11

Feats:
TWF [or multiweapon fighting if the DM will allow it]
Ambidexterity
Weapon Focus – unarmed
*Weapon Spec – unarmed
Speed of Thought (x2)
Psionic Charge
Up the Walls

Powers Known:
0-
Talons
Float
?
1-
Biofeedback
Skate
See Sound (or bite of the wolf if you have MWF)
2-
Claws of the Bear
Painful Touch? (or Animal Affinity)
3-
Claws of the Vampire

You are all about dealing insane TWF damage. You can do either 1d12 base damage with each hand (plus 1d6 bite damage w/ MWF) or 1d8, but heal the like amount of damage dealt. Biofeedback protects you by converting some damage to subdual – then you get ‘doubly-healed’ when you heal with Claws of the Vamp (‘cause subdual damage is healed at the same time, and for ‘free’, as all real damage). You can deal even more damage through use of Painful Touch, but AA may be better – that way you can boost your strength score and will deal more damage that way.

With the use of skate your speed is 65 ft while on flat ground, or 80 ft on a decline. Your base speed is 50 ft, and you can run straight up a 190 ft wall.

If you could throw in a level of ranger you’ll get Ambidex and TWF for free, and thus get 2 more feats. Maybe use those and change out one of the speed of thoughts for the Spring Attack chain?

Maybe not the most optimized (haven't done psionics in a while) but it's at least a good start using only the PsiHB.

02-02-04, 01:13 PM Are you using Mindscapes, ITCK, straight PsiHB or some combination of the three?

02-02-04, 02:28 PM ksbsnowowl:

We'll be playing 3.0 and the only core classes I can go for are psion and psychic warrior. PrC's are free. I like your build, but I also don't know if it's powerful because I never played psionics before.

Matt Neuman:

I don't have access to mind's eye, but if you can post any build using it do so and tell me the source so I can send it to the DM.

Mad_Hatter:

I only have the PsiHB, but can use any published material. If you post a build using what you mentioned, please just tell the source and how it works, so I can tell the DM.

Thank you all so far.

Thanx!

I would suggest a shaper 6/constructor 1

Feats:
1-Inertial Armor
1-Psionic Infusion
3-Augment Construction
6-Empower Construction
7-Advanced Construction(b)

02-02-04, 03:47 PM Another possibility at that level would be a telepath. You'd just be getting to some of the good powers though.

Fate Link is an awesome 3rd level power that allows you to double the damage output of the party's heavy hitters. Lesser domination could also be good, but I'd pick Time Hop as a second 3rd level power if no one else will have it.

2nd level -
Brain Lock is good. Animal Affinity is a must - especially if you get some of the feats from the Mind's Eye like Fortify power and Overpower. Body adjustment is also good (helps stave off secondary damage from poisons better than the lesser version - but not as PP efficient/hp healed though.)

Augury and Sensitivity to Psychic Impressions can both be good too.

1st level -
Charm Person is good. Sense Link can be good to spy into a secured area.

Steadfast Gaze is good.

02-08-04, 09:07 AM Hey!!! I am the group telepath! Stay away of my path Wyvernspur.

You can be a shaper, seer, whatever you want, but if you pick a telepath I will teach you some mindtricks....eheheheh :)

Good sugestions, buds.
