So I saw this on the Psionics board, and for some reason, I liked the concept a lot. Came up with several builds for this:

Ranger 2 / Psywar 2 / Soulknife 1 / Warmind 5 / Pyrokineticist 10 - I consider this the base, which gives nice burning powers, decent amounts of feats, and the mindblade and fire whip.

Ranger 2 / Swashbuckler 3 / Fighter 2 / Psywar 2 / Pyro 4 / Warmind 7 - This one has more guaranteed damage in the form of Swashbuckler, and focuses on using two fire whips at once, which kind of detracts from the class.

Can anybody help optimize this concept further?

Leaving that aside, the first build is O.K. except one level of Soulknife is more or less useless. How about Psychic Warrior 4/Fighter 1/War Mind 5/Pyrokineticist 10 instead?

For a legal build, I would suggest Fighter 2/Wilder 4/Paladin of Freedom 4/Pyrokineticist 10. Remember that Charisma determines the DC for Heat Death and Conflagration.
