09-03-04, 06:00 PM I liked the warmind PrC since i saw it in the new SRD, so I decided to play one.

I came up with a little prefix to get me into this Prc ASAP, but i thought you could optimize a little on it:

Psychic warrior1
Fighter1
Fighter2
Ranger1
Psychic warrior2

This nets me 4 bonus feats, base saves of 8/2/0 (D'OH!), bab +4 2d10 + 3d8 HD and some nice skillpoints. Another thought was taking Psion4/Fighter1 but that would mean some crappy 4d4 + 1d10 HD. I know the warmind is not the best class out there, but it fascinated me right from the beginning.

Any help would be appreciated.

09-04-04, 05:08 PM Problem is that you need a power point reserve of at least 1 (easily solved with a psionic race) and Knowlege: Psionics 8 (not-so-easily solved) to enter War Mind.

Gold Dwarf or LA-bought off Duergar (saves you Wild Talent)
Rgr 3/Ftr 2/War Mind 5/DD 10

Grab Education for the Knowledge(psionics).

EDIT: Forgot the Duergar -4 Cha. :rolleyes:

09-04-04, 10:38 PM Warmind does go well with a Duergar Dwarven Defender (and with levels of the the deep warden class thrown in). But a Duergar Paladin (-4 CHA) is silly unless you've got stellar rolls or a very high point buy.

09-04-04, 10:46 PM Right, silly me. Forgot the Duergar -4 Cha. I was just trying to find something other than more Fighter levels to preclude War Mind.

On second thought:

Ftr 2/Rgr 3/War Mind 5/DD 10

Doesn't really matter which combat style you take as a ranger, you'll end up in full plate anyway. This also saves you a feat on Endurance for DD.

09-05-04, 05:23 AM Here's a build I came up with for one of my own characters:

Fighter 8/Soulknife 2/War Mind 10.

I know Soulknife really doesn't have much in the way of useful class abilities unless you're going to go solid, but it does bring up her Reflex and Will saves a bit.

However, I made her as a Human. Had I known of the Education feat, I could have made her a Half-Giant (which would be closer to the character concept--while she's actually a Human, she's 7'10", and so kind of needs Powerful Build to make sense), and given her these levels:

Fighter 10/War Mind 10. (The power point prerequisite would be solved by the Half-Giant's racial PP, and the ranks in Knowledge/Psionics by Education.)
