pud 05-24-07, 02:19 AM	I was wondering what people usually take with EK, if anything. Here's a list of candidates I thought likely (in no particular order.) Hustle (psychic warrior) Metamorphosis Fission Schism Evade Burst (psychic warrior) Energy Missile (pre-CP) Astral Construct (pre-CP) What do you take?
Friendlyfish 05-24-07, 02:54 AM	I was wondering what people usually take with EK, if anything. Here's a list of candidates I thought likely (in no particular order.) Hustle (psychic warrior) Metamorphosis Fission Schism Evade Burst (psychic warrior) Energy Missile (pre-CP) Astral Construct (pre-CP) What do you take? All these are pretty common and good. I can't really add that much to the list, but one I do like is Intellect Bomb for psions (usually it's only for ardents with the right mantle). When you're approaching Epic, you'll need a good save-or-die; this one fits the bill- it lacks the mind-affecting, death, or phantasmal tags that most magical save or dies have and which thus ruin them (thanks to mind blank, death ward and true seeing respectively; only Implosion is as uninhibited). It'll even kill intelligent undead. This makes it hands-down the best save-or-die in the psionic arsenal, if you're going into epic levels. For a class with lackluster save-or-dies, this one really shines if you get to a high enough level to take it.

Celsun 05-24-07, 07:30 AM	Energy Ball Dominate, Psionic Power Resistance, as a Psywar, if it's not house-ruled Fly, Psionic I've recently modified EK so that it doesn't allow characters to take powers from other power lists (much like UTP's devoted psion). I've been playing in an all-psionics campaign, and a lot of the characters started to look the same: everyone had AC, dominate, schism, fly, power resistance, energy missile, and whatnot. It makes for a powerful group, but it's boring.
Bacris 05-24-07, 08:31 AM	I like to take the PsyWar version of Biofeedback - 1 pp DR is pretty nice :)

pud 05-24-07, 02:29 PM	Does anyone use EK to obtain Null Psionics Field? That power seems like the best reason to take a Kineticist. Am I overestimating it?
Psikerlord 05-24-07, 05:09 PM	I think Null psionics field is worth it if you have sufficient mundane melee ability, but that would be rare for most psions. I would also consider evade attack (nomad), for immed action anti-criti defence. My telepath has energy missile and metamorphosis (in our campaign metamorphosis is toned down; doesn't give you the creatures natural attack routine, you get number of attacks according to your BAB)
CrimsonDeath 05-24-07, 05:51 PM	My Nomad took EK: Psionic Revivify so we could rez people in the field. And I've actually used it once; the Cerebremancer forgot the difference between Energy Ball and Energy Burst...
