Otherwise all else the same. He said it was a low magic setting, Playing per Hengyoki (sparrow), Fighter mix of 10. Only fighter in an all caster party :weep: Main problem is most psionic powers, don't have saves although some are subject to psionic resistance. One in particular is Dissolivng Weapon is the main problem. There is a lack of information, classes, and feats to handle psions, aka kill them. Although I hope eberron remedies this. I find vary few classes that give energy resistance on the 20-30 range, mostly 5. I possess only two magical items boots of feather fall, and ring of evasion, which I found. The cost of purchasing magical items is double normal price for +2 or lower (Those items that cost normally 8,000gp or less) and about three to four times as much for +3 and higher (8001gp +) so I have about 150,000gp and another 100,000gp in property to play with. I can beat up his psi-warrior if I can get him in a Globe of Invulnerabiltiy which takes away all his powers because In a fair fight I can drop him easily, but none of the other spellcaster wants to help my character out on this project wanting to handle other threats aimed at them first. Acceptable but not all that benifical to me. I own a 2-3 awaken creatures whic I trained. Which is my Ace in the hole because they all were trained to aid ally, both in to hit and AC for close combat. I haven't used them yet because once I do I know the DM will start hunting them, I would but that is also why I don't send them out to help unless I need to. His psionics ussally has AC is 30-32, while mine is a woping 20. They deals 60-80 points of damage in the inital hit and about 20-30 points on other hits there after. What I need is suggestions to stop my equal in psi-warrior, I am mainly a two weapon fighter so is the psi-warrior. With his psi-powers and high AC, I can only get the first attack with both weapons in as well as attack of opportunity, but he can drop me in about 2 rounds. Also when I get to fight him it during an ambush, so he his fully powered and well I am caught sleeping up in a tree. Likewise if you have any suggestions to stop psionics in general short of placing explosives on their backs it would be apprechated. To clarify:The party members are not as good in Roll play as the DM, its a first time for us thinking that how we need to trick out characters. The party is mainly old school Role Players were Stats and feats are nice but don't determine the outcome of combat, just what you are limited to doing. We have discussed issues and the DM has adjusted his encounters to meet our needs/expectations. The encounter with psionics are not an everyday encounter, but are used for plot purposes but still the party has trouble with this. Its the first time I realized how fighters are realtively weak against prepared magic users/psionics. So any suggestions on how you deal with combating psionics, or ways to help against psionics is what I am mainly looking for.

Otherwise all else the same. He said it was a low magic setting, - ha! with all the psionics we fight. Playing Hengyoki (sparrow), ranger 4, warshaper 4, occult slayer 2. Only fighter in an all caster party His AC is 32, while mine is a woping 20. He deals 60-80 points of damage in the inital hit and about 20-30 on other hits there after. I have about 110hp. His is unknown although I assume he has about 100hp. Ignoring that this seems Player vs. DM.. If you are a 10th level fighter with only an AC of 20 there is something wrong. Maybe because of the prestige classes. I'm not familiar offhand with either warshaper nor occult slayer. But if you have a character that is unable to use armor I would hope that you are pumping dex, have bracers, an amulet of natural armor, a ring of protection, and gloves of dexterity, (for up to +21 to AC for those items, depending on wealth don't know what 10th level limit is offhand).
