Okay so new campaign is coming up and I thought I would try out a psion since I have never played. We are starting at 4th or 5th level the GM has yet to make up his mind about that. 20 point buy.
Here is what I have been thinking so far. Human, middle age(Story reasons) I am going with the 4th level for this.
Base abilities:
Str 10
Dex 11
Con 13
Int 18
Wis 13
Cha 7
After modifiers:
Str 9
Dex 10
Con 12
Int 22
Wis 14
Cha 8
Now I want to play a blaster because it's fun so kineticist seems to be the choice, for getting around the big problem of having suitable energy
for every foe.
Discipline talent's from first level, I was thinking Energy ray and Far hand.
I have 9 known powers with maxium of 4 of those 2nd level. My thought's so far.
1st:
Call to mind: +4 on those knowledge checks to regonize enemies on clues will come in handy. Also I will most likely get a good number of my skill points in knowledge skills so it should be useful.
Inertial Armor: If someone gets past the melee folks or uses ranged weaponry it's nice not to be a sitting duck.
Precognition, Defensive: Insight bonus is not that common so it will probably stack with anything I will get and with augmentation possible it can give pretty nice saves the bonus to AC is just icing on the cake.
Mind Thrust: Does great damage to one foe even if it's all or nothing but if it's do or die moment anyways you could have chosen worse also Display is only auditory so that's a nice bonus.
Vigor: Temporary hitpoints are always nice and with 5 per power point it's a damn fine move to make before the big battle. The duration 1 min./level does hinder it's usefulness but still one of the best one's available.
2nd:
Energy missile: One of the best damage powers available when you do not need area of effect.
Mental Disruption: If I happen to mess up badly enough to get surounded this can save my bacon.
Inflict Pain: A nice debuff especially against foes that do not get full BAB.
Detect Hostile intent: Can be really helpfull out of combat also in combat if we happen to attack the local thief's guild this will be a life saver.
Now Feats are where I am having real problems:
I get 3 freely chosen feats and 1 bonus feat from the Psion class.
Some that I have been thinking are, Overchannel, Talented, Psicrystal affinity, Psicrystal containment, Psionic meditation and Empower power.
At later levels I thought Twin power and Quicken power would make a pretty damn nice Nova combo with basically 3 powers in one turn.
Then there is what equipment to get with my 6000 gold. Totally clueless about this, apart from the basic ability booster, cloak of resistance and so on.
Well that is what I got so far any and all advice and help is apriciated. I tried to get the all relevant info but if I missed something feel free to ask.
PS. Almost forgot Magic-psionic transparancy is in effect.
