Rusher
12-08-05, 12:58 PM A simple Psion(or wilder) slayer combo with key defensive powers and reach abilities to keep the bad guys away.
Psionic types make great bodyguards.

I left off psionic powers to heal/restore/revive/escape but they are fairly obvious.

Fighter2/Psion4/Illithid Slayer10/X4

Powers (in no particular order)
Intellect Fortress - usefulness varies depending on psi/magic transparency
Energy Wall
Tower of Iron Will
Eradicate Inviso
Expansion(for reach)
Entagling Ectoplasm
Dimension Swap - really handy for protection minded tank
Detect Hostile Intent
Anticipatory Strike - handy if you need to go first
Dimension Slide - mobility is crucial
Time hop - The grappled caster will love you.
Ultrablast - It targets enemies only

Feats (some mix of these)
Imp Trip
Knockdown
Standstill
Imp Initiative (can't protect someone while flatfooted)
Imp Disarm (if you don't like trip or expect to face lots of humanoids)
Goad - marginal usefulness but you can really jack up the save DC if this is your goal.

I hope that helps

Really? is that in Errata? because in the XPH, the power states "Everybody"
I'd love that power now....yay.

P.S. as per the build, try using disintigrate on weapons. I thought of this when I was making a pacifist Psion.

No stabbing allowed!
