I am pretty much a n00b and was looking over Psychic Warrior for use in our Astral Plane, psionic heavy adventure

I was thinking of going for Elocater and focus on attacks of opportunity.

PW6/Elocator10 (Would technically be PW13 caster)

------
Stats:
------

STR 15 -2 = 13
DEX 14 +2 = 16
CON 14 = 14
INT 14 = 14
WIS 14 = 14
CHR 08 = 08

-------
Feats:
-------

L01 Psionic Weapon
CL1 Dodge
CL2 Mobility
L03 Combat Reflexes
CL5 Standstill
L06 Spring Attack
L09 Deep Impact
L12 Psychic Meditation
L15 Ghost Attack

-------
Powers:
-------

L1 Precognition, Defense
L1 Thicken Skin
L1 Vigor
L2 Dissolving Weapon
L2 Dimensional Swap
L2 Hustle
L3 Evade Burst
L3 Keen Edge, Psionic
L3 Vampire Blade
L4 Freedom of Movement, Psionic
L4 Planar Apotheosis
L4 Steadfast Perception
L5 Perfact Riposte


Does anyone see anything retarded? Anything I could switch around?


Thanks,
Dustin

For an AoO build, you should grab expansion. The increased reach will generate a lot more AoOs.

Vigor is good, but you may want to consider biofeedback instead. Vigor saves you 5 hit points for every power point spent, but biofeedback saves you 2 hit points for every time you get hit. 1pp in biofeedback will save you 20 hit points if you get hit ten times. 20 hp would cost you 4 times as many power points with vigor.

The obvious downside is that biofeedback only works against physical attacks, while vigor works against everything. So it depends on what you expect to be attacked by.

Think about the Extend Power metapsi feat. It can save you a lot of power points by giving you more time between re-manifesting your buffs.

Your strength is low, but you want to rely on melee attacks. I suggest learning strength of my enemy. That will simultaneously increase your attack/damage, and lower your enemy's attack/damage. Once again, expansion is also good with it's +2 to strength which stacks with everything.

I am pretty much a n00b (I even misspelled Xeph in the topic lol)

Look at your first post in the thread. Click "edit", then click on the "Go Advanced" button. You can now change the title of the thread and fix the typo! It's like casting cure light wounds for your pride!

Also, check out the Psychic Warrior Build Guide and Compendium (http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?referrerid=406019&t=860838).

lol! Thanks for the info on updating posts.


Also, thank you for the info on Psychic Warriors, Inkblot:

I researched your suggestions and you are totally correct with biofeedback. I might want to keep vigor so I don't know what I would switch for it.
Any suggestions on what to switch out for strength of my enemy?

For feats I could get rid of Deep Impact and its prerequisite Psionic Weapon and get Extend Power.
Any suggestions on what to get for the second?
