I had an idea about this Prc that I wanted to write down and see what kinda thoughts people had.

This isn't supposed to be "optimized" but feel free to add any thoughts that you want.

Rogue 3 / Psion 13 / MotUH 4

The basic idea behind this character is to use schism in order to manifest two telekinesis powers so he essentially dual wields (The rogue is in there for Evasion, skill points and an idea for the sneak attack)

Taking the Feat Practiced Manifester will give him 4 levels of psion (without the additional powers)

So he would have the power points of a 17th lvl psion but be able to use telekinesis as a 21st lvl. (13 from psion, 4 from practiced manifester and 4 from MotUH.)

Assuming he started with a 17 INT and he added every point he got he would have a base INT of 22 and with a headband +6 it would be 28 (+9)

So all in all he would have 8 attacks at +30/+30/+25/+25/+20/+20/+15/+15

If you are able to flank someone with two weapons that you are controlling then you could get the extra +2d6 of sneak attack dmg (probably just if you were within 30ft)

Not to mention the fact that you could stop attacking with just one weapon for one round to use a power or skill if needed.

I know it's a bit scattered but what do you think of this idea?

Thanks

Awesome idea, but why not consider some fighter levels instead, or even some ranger levels if you don't have a high dex, instead of rogue. I mean, evasion's nice, but if you took 2 ranger levels and one fighter level, assuming your favored class is psion, I don't think that gets you xp penalties, and it lets you have 2 weapon fighting along with a bonus feat and some more feat slots to play with. although you don't really need perfect BAB, the extra HP doesn't hurt.

Alternately 3 levels of swashbuckler and suddenly you've got INT added to damage rolls.

I always liked master of the unseen hand. I think it's totally awesome. Great build.

EDIT: I just realized that he doesn't actually use TWF. Scratch that. The Swashbuckler idea still stands though.
