02-08-06, 01:38 AM I've been tossing around some ideas lately about possible uses for psionic classes in a combat role. So far I've come to like the Wilder, the Elocater, as well as the good ol' psychic warrior. They offer a neat balance of powers versus combat ability, but I was wondering if there was some way to get the most out of a twenty-level progression, assuming the character starts at level 5.

The ability scores to play with are 16, 14, 17, 12, 11, 14. So far, going into the near future of this character idea, I've come up with human Fighter 2/Wilder 3, heading for Elocator.

What are some suggestions for milking the most out of my combat potential and psionic powers up through the levels?
