08-05-07, 11:50 PM I've been looking at the divine mind. Something about it seems off, I guess bland is one way of putting it. Are there any PrCs that can work well with it, something that might fit with the flavor of the class?

It's a Nerfed combination of Paladin, Marshal and psi-warrior.

Evocation
Level: Clr 9, Destruction 9
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets: One corporeal creature/round
Duration: Concentration (up to 4 rounds)
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

You create a destructive resonance in a corporeal creature’s body. For each round you concentrate, you cause one creature to collapse in on itself, killing it. (This effect, being instantaneous, cannot be dispelled.)

You can target a particular creature only once with each casting of the spell.

Implosion has no effect on creatures in gaseous form or on incorporeal creatures.

I was going to make a joke about this not working for me, because my Divine Mind was already a level 10 Psion Uncarnate, but that would be an Epic character, so I don't think anyone would believe me.

08-06-07, 08:06 PM Okay, so the divine mind is a definite lost cause. Any suggestions on using psionics for a paladin archetype?

08-09-07, 10:21 AM I'm partial to a paladin-wilder-sanctified mind combo, but it's a bit more complex. BTW, I think one of the newer web article introduced mantles as an option for psychic warriors.
