Mar 23, 2008 18:43:42 I'm thinking about playing a psychic warrior in my next game and I wanted to try to build one based on archery. I'd love some help selecting powers and feats. All books are ok, no house-rules to speak of. Here is my idea so far:

Elan Psychic Warrior 20

Stats: (32-pt buy) Str 14, Dex 16 Con 12, Wis 16, Int 10, Cha 6 (after adjustment)

1 point blank shot, precise shot
2 mantled warrior (freedom)
3 rapid shot
4
5 psionic meditation
6 psionic shot
7
8 greater psionic shot
9 fell shot
10
11wood land archer
12 maximize power
13
14 speed of thought
15 improved precise shot
16
17 exotic weapon proficiency (compound great bow)
18 mental juggernaut
19
20 ???

powers: 1. skate, 2. precognition, offensive, 3. extend range 4. hustle, 5. dissolving weapon, 6. perfect archery 7. strength of my enemy 8. concealing amaphora, greater 9. stygian erasure, 10. freedom of movement, psionic, 11. dimension door, 12. psionic fly (freedom) 13. living arrow, 14. teleport, psionic (freedom) 15. energy adaptation, 16 mind blank, personal 17. inconstant location 18. form of doom 19, dispelling buffer, 20. ???

Note: I take living arrow at 13th level to help make up for the lack of improved precise shot until 15th level.

What do you think? What feats should I take at 18th and 20th level? Are my power selections good (and what should I take at level 20)?

Yeah, I've never played a psychic warrior before and I was a bit surprised by the lack of spot as a class skill. I'd play a swift hunter but I love the psychic warrior's self-buffing, self-repairing, abilities. Most archers can't run around with a mind blank, skate, perfect archery, dissolving weapon, etc.

OK I'll have to add link power in to take advantage of hustle/psionic meditation. Thanks for the tip.
